Socket Mobile

Socket Mobile (Booth 3674) is launching new antimicrobial versions of its Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) Series 7 for use by mobile workers in healthcare environments.

The new Socket Bluetooth CHS 7NRx and 7XRx plastics are made with similar antimicrobial materials as the Socket SoMo 650Rx handheld computer, and come in linear 1D and CMOS 2D imager versions, respectively. The antimicrobial coating provides an extra layer of protection to the device against the multiplication and spread of potentially harmful bacteria and microbes.

Combined with Bluetooth capabilities, extended battery life and ruggedized, lightweight design, the antimicrobial versions of the CHS Rx are a solution for automated data management in a healthcare setting. The antimicrobial barcode scanners, designed for healthcare applications and environments, interface with a variety of Bluetooth devices including the SoMo 650Rx handheld computer, laptops, tablet and desktop PCs and mobile/smartphones.
