CS60-HC Series Companion Scanner

Ultra-Versatile Healthcare Scanner with a First-of-its-Kind Convertible Design

Do you need a cordless scanner at the point of care and a corded hands-free scanner in the pharmacy and lab? What if you didn’t have to deploy different scanners for different tasks? Introducing the CS60-HC Series Healthcare Companion Scanner, featuring a groundbreaking design that easily converts between corded and cordless operation, handheld and hands-free, as your needs change. As a cordless scanner, the CS60-HC is ultra-portable and pocketable to meet any nurse-carry workflow and offers the latest mobile technology including contactless charging. As a corded scanner, the CS60-HC provides compact scanning for the pharmacy counter, lab station and more. Whether you purchase a corded or cordless model up front, you can change modes at any time for superior investment protection. You get Zebra’s industry-leading scanning performance, easier data entry between multiple host applications and seamless disinfectant-ready plastics. And our unique DataCapture DNATM and industry-preferred management tools make it easier than ever to integrate, deploy and manage your scanners.

Adapts to Any Clinician Workflow

First-of-its-Kind Convertible Design Minimizes Investment Risk

Whether you need a cordless companion scanner paired to a cart-mounted cradle, mobile device or in-room workstation at the point of care; a hands-free presentation scanner in the lab; or a corded handheld scanner at the pharmacy, the CS60-HC has you covered.

Simply swap the battery and corded USB converter at any time to change between corded and cordless scanning. Add the optional presentation stand or cradle to automatically switch between hands-free and handheld modes. This unparalleled versatility minimizes investment risk as it’s easy to meet new workflow needs or redeploy CS60-HC scanners to a different application.

Proven Scanning Performance You Can Trust

With a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology, the CS60-HC easily and accurately captures the many kinds of barcodes commonly used in hospitals including barcodes on patient wristbands, medication vials, IV bags and specimen trays. When you choose the CS60-HC, you get Zebra’s world-renowned quality and reliability.

Effortless Multi-Tasking with a Second Programmable Button

A second programmable button can be used to instantly toggle between two host applications, such as Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and blood collection applications. With a quick press of the button, clinicians can send data to the right application in the proper format and order.

Purpose-built Housing Helps Offer Maximum Protection Against the Spread of Bacteria

Special plastics and IP65 sealing allow for safe wipe-downs with the widest selection of aggressive disinfectants used in today’s hospitals. And with a monocoque design, inductive sensing touch buttons and contactless charging, the scanner’s crevice-free surface helps eliminate places where germs can hide.

Safe LED Aimer Can Be Used Throughout the Hospital

Thanks to a highly visible and safe LED aimer, the CS60-HC can be used in the NICU, labor and delivery and mother-baby units where the use of laser aimers is not advised. And the green aimer reduces the likelihood of triggering PTSD episodes.

Flexible Feedback Modes — Including Night Mode with Vibrate

Choose the right feedback for any environment: a good decode LED, haptic feedback, a beep tone with adjustable tone/volume and Zebra’s Direct Decode Indicator that projects illumination on the barcode. In night mode, a quick press of the trigger toggles between an audible beep and vibration. Clinicians instantly know that a medicine vial or wristband was successfully scanned — while disturbing patients as little as possible.

Doubles as a Workstation Lamp

The scanner’s built-in lamp can illuminate a nurse’s workstation, so there’s no need to disturb sleeping patients by turning on the overhead lights.


Cutting-Edge Clinical Mobility

Qi Inductive Charging

Support for inductive charging on the CS60-HC eliminates the need for battery contact cleaning and maintenance.1 While you get the fastest charging times with Zebra’s inductive charging solution, you’re free to use any off-the-shelf Qi wireless charging pad.

Split-Second NFC Tap-to-Pair

With built-in NFC, the CS60-HC easily pairs with other devices and in-room workstations — no IT support required.

Pocketable and Wearable for Room-to-Room Mobility

The cordless CS60-HC can be tucked in a scrub pocket and is designed to fit naturally in the hand for easy scanning. Pair the CS60-HC with the optional lanyard and silicone protector to safely and comfortably wear the scanner all shift long.

Full Shift Power and Beyond

The fully charged battery delivers 18 hours of power — more than enough for a clinician’s longest shift. Batteries can be easily replaced without special tools. And a dedicated battery gauge makes it easy for clinicians to see at a glance when it's time to change or charge a battery.

Compact Cradle Fits on Any Workstation

The presentation cradle has a compact footprint to fit on the most space-constrained workstations — whether mobile or in-room.

Extended 330 ft./100 m Range

The CS60-HC is a certified BT 5.0 device. With Class 1 Bluetooth®, users can roam up to 330 feet/100 m from the host device.

Eliminate Bluetooth Interference with Wi-FiTM Friendly Mode

Ensure that your cordless CS60-HC scanners only operate on channels that are not shared with your Wi-Fi network.

Minimize Workflow Disruptions with Anti-Loss Tools

With Zebra’s Virtual Tether, both the cradle and scanner will alert users when a device is taken out of range or left out of the cradle for an extended period of time. And if a CS60-HC is lost, simply press the cradle’s paging button to locate it.

Keep Spare Batteries on Hand with Versatile Charging Options

Multiple charging options make it easy to keep your scanners and spare batteries charged for around-the-clock operation. Four-slot device and four-slot battery chargers are compatible with Zebra’s ShareCradle charging system for easy backroom management. And single-slot scanner and battery chargers are ideal on any desk.


Easy to Configure and Manage

Easily Capture UDI Information and Blood Bag Data

Two DataCapture DNA tools make it easy for clinicians to instantly capture more data to help protect patient safety and improve inventory management. UDI Scan+ automatically parses and formats Unique Device Identification (UDI) information on medical device packaging, sending the right data in the right fields to your application. And with Blood Bag Parse+, clinicians can capture all the data required on every blood bag — including blood type, date of donation, donation location and expiration date — with a single scan.

Switch Workflows in an Instant with AutoConfig

Zebra’s AutoConfig automatically configures the CS60-HC for your workflow. For example, you can take a CS60-HC from a patient room and use it in the pharmacy, phlebotomy or lab without having to change settings. Since scanner settings are stored in the cradle base, simply pair the scanner to a different base to automatically configure it for a new host application and use case.

Up-to-the-Minute Insight into Every Aspect of Your Scanners

Remote Diagnostics capabilities automate the recording of scanner asset information, health and statistics, configuration settings and barcode data — giving you the information needed for event verification, blockchain traceability, pilot site ROI generation, troubleshooting and predictive fleet-wide trend analysis.
