PERFECTLY DESIGNED ON THE OUTSIDE FOR HEALTHCARE
- The Ergonomics Every Healthcare Worker Wants
Zebra’s thinnest and lightest healthcare mobile computer is perfectly balanced to minimize hand fatigue. Contoured surfaces and sculpted lower bumpers reduce pressure points and provide any size hand with a secure grip—and all-day comfort. - Built for Constant Disinfecting
The disinfectant-ready design offers advanced medical grade plastics that support the widest selection of disinfectants in the industry. And a specially designed housing and USB-C port plug minimize crevices where pathogens can accumulate. - 20% More Display Space To See More—And Scroll Less
The high resolution, 6 in., FHD+ edge-to-edge display is bright and easy to read in virtually any lighting. And it works with the thin gloves typically worn by healthcare workers. - Call for Help With a Press of the Red Duress Button
This programmable dedicated button can be configured to call a specific number or launch an application in emergency or duress situations, with an activation sequence that prevents false alarms. - One Set of Accessories for Both Models
Make carrying easy with the disinfectant-ready healthcare carry clip or hand strap. There are cradles designed for the backroom, a desk or a nurse’s station, plus extra batteries to ensure power for back-to-back shifts and a screen protector that boosts display durability. - Unbeatable Battery Features
No need to take these devices out of service to charge—if the battery runs low, just swap in a fully charged battery. With true hot swap, you can change batteries without impacting device functionality—no missed calls, no missed notifications, no lost data. PowerPrecision technology provides real-time metrics to monitor battery health, so you can easily spot and replace batteries that can no longer hold a full charge. And you can use any standard USB-C charge cable for charging flexibility.
PERFECTLY DESIGNED ON THE INSIDE WITH ADVANCED MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES TO BOOST PRODUCTIVITY AND CARE QUALITY
- Flexible Options for World-Class Split-Second Scanning
Choose the right device for workers. The integrated scanner is ideal for scan-intensive healthcare workflows. Workers can easily capture barcodes on patient wristbands, medication vials, supplies, medical equipment, food trays and more — even if barcodes are damaged or poorly printed. The white illumination and green LED aimer are patient friendly, safe for use in any healthcare or home healthcare environment. Or, the high-resolution camera and Zebra scanning software are perfect for occasional barcode capture. - Capture High-Resolution Photos With the 16 MP Rear Camera
From clinical workers capturing wound condition to non-clinical workers documenting facility rounding, completion of maintenance or damaged incoming inventory or equipment, a picture really is worth a thousand words. With the easy capture of high-resolution photographic documentation, healthcare workers can spend less time explaining — and more time on crucial tasks. - Power Today’s Healthcare Apps
Healthcare workers use graphics-intensive applications — from clinicians visualizing patient vital signs remotely and viewing imaging studies to maintenance engineers accessing detailed equipment schematics. These powerful devices can handle it all with a faster processor, large memory space and 2TB MicroSD card slot. - The Fastest, Most Dependable Wireless Connections
Advanced wireless technology keeps workers seamlessly connected whether they are inside the hospital, traveling to a patient’s home or roaming between campus medical facilities. The HC20 (Wi-Fi 6) and HC50 (Wi-Fi 6E) are ideal for staff who work inside the facility. With support for 5G and Private 5G, the HC25 and HC55 are ready for the latest clinical collaboration advancements using high-speed private and hybrid 5G systems. - Out-of-the-Box Capture of Unique Device Identifier (UDI) Barcodes
Instantly check to see if medical equipment has been recalled before use, protecting patient safety. Easily capture charges for all items, protecting the bottom line. And inventory visibility is complete and more accurate, eliminating risky out of stocks. - Enhance Communication with AI Noise Suppression
Clear communication is vital to delivering exceptional patient care. Utilizing advanced neural networks, Zebra’s AI noise suppression algorithms help ensure crystal clear voice on every call, even if workers are in a noisy environment — from a busy emergency room to hospital hallways or moving between buildings. - Turn Devices Into Two-Way Radios and PBX Handsets
Empower workers with multiple voice-calling capabilities — push-to-talk (PTT) communications and the ability to place and accept PBX calls. Now, nurses can reach a physician instantly or take a call from a family member checking on a loved one — all right on the device. And Profile Manager gives staff the ability to cover multiple roles and departments. - Secure Text Messaging—When Audio Calls Aren’t Appropriate
Comply with privacy laws that protect patient information with text messaging that is secure and auditable—unlike text messaging on the cellular public network. - High Quality Video Conferencing for Superior Collaboration
Enable remote telehealth consultations with physicians, pharmacists and other caregivers through the HC5x’s 5 MP front facing camera. - Android ‘Plus’—Enhanced With Enterprise Capabilities
Support for future versions of Android ensures that the devices you purchase today will support the new features of Android well into the future. Deploy ‘no touch’ updates on schedule with Zebra Zero Touch. Control availability of GMS services on these devices to increase security. Add over 100 features to make Android truly enterprise-ready. LifeGuard™ for Android ensures the latest security patch is always installed, while putting users in control over how and when devices are updated.
