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 DNA and industry-preferred management tools make it easier than ever to integrate, deploy and manage your scanners.
Adapts to any clinician workflow
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.
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.
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.
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.
The CS60-HC Companion Scanner — minimize investment risk with an innovative convertible design that adapts to any workflow.

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.
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.
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
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 to charge the CS60-HC.
With built-in NFC, the CS60-HC easily pairs with other devices and in-room workstations — no IT support required.
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.
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 takes the guesswork out of charge status, so clinicians know at a glance when it’s time to change or charge a battery.
The presentation cradle has a compact footprint that is elegantly crafted to fit on the most space-constrained workstations — whether mobile or in-room.
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 for greater flexibility.
Ensure that your cordless CS60-HC scanners only operate on channels that are not shared with your Wi-Fi network.
Press the cradle’s paging button to locate a misplaced cordless CS60-HC in seconds. With Zebra’s built-in Virtual Tether functionality, users are alerted when a device is taken out of range, misplaced or unintentionally left out of the cradle for an extended period of time — a helpful reminder to return the CS60-HC to its charger.2
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
Zebra’s UDI Scan+ makes it easy to capture and enter Unique Device Identification (UDI) information into your application. Simply scan the barcode on the medical device packaging. The UDI barcode data is automatically parsed, properly formatted and sent in the right order to the right fields in your EMR or other application. No manual data entry is required.
Only from Zebra, DataCapture DNA is a unique collection of value-add tools that make it easier to deploy, update, troubleshoot, manage and develop applications for your CS60-HC scanners. For example, 123Scan creates a single barcode to stage scanners or update firmware. You can remotely manage your scanners through Scanner Management Service (SMS) or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), eliminating the time and cost for onsite visits. And more.
