Hospitals and labs in Germany and Austria are now improving patient safety, reducing paperwork, and saving time and money with the aid of hundreds of TSC’s popular TTP-245C barcode printers.
The 1,224-bed University Hospital in Bonn, Germany, now uses more than 300 of the best-selling TTP-245C label printers, primarily for labeling of test-tube blood samples, imprinting of synthetic materials, bar-coding of medical records and patient documentation, labeling of pill and medication trays and drug labeling in hospital pharmacies.
In Austria, more than 300 TTP-245C barcode printers have been installed in regional hospitals throughout the country and are used for daily applications in healthcare.
TTP-245C Advantages
More and more hospitals and laboratories like those in Germany and Austria are discovering that the TTP-245C Series label printers offer great performance at a very affordable cost. The small-footprint platform fits easily into cramped workspaces and is ideally suited for processing blood-sample and other patient-specimen labels, especially the much-used 35×25 mm label format.
CipherLab, a leading innovator in Automated Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) for the retail, warehouse, and distribution industries, recently announced the immediate availability of its first ever product embedded with Windows Mobile – the CipherLab CP40 Industrial Mobile Computers. With a built-in scanner, camera and phone, and Internet access, the handhelds accelerate productivity and boost efficiency wherever needed – supporting workforces at the warehouse or in the field in a rugged and sleek form factor.
The CP40 Series includes both the CP40 and CP45, and is initially available exclusively in the United States. The addition of Windows Mobile is part of a decision by the company to expand an already robust choice of operating systems on its handhelds that includes Windows CE and CipherLab’s proprietary operating system.
“Offering Windows Mobile on our mobile computers is a conscious decision by CipherLab to give customers more flexibility,” said CipherLab Business Development Manager Teri Ellis. “This opens up access to a wealth of pre-existing applications for industrial, distribution or field-service applications, and allows customers to also easily customize how their handheld is configured.”
The CipherLab CP40 and CP45 have unique features not available in traditional rugged handhelds:
- It has a lightweight, thin and ergonomic form factor. All the units are less than an inch thick – slimmer than the industry norm.
- Everything a user needs is included in one complete kit. Each handheld comes bundled with a communication/charging cradle, spare battery, USB cable, power supply, headphones and extra stylus. There are no hidden expenses associated with purchasing the CP40 Series Mobile Computers.
- They carry a three-year manufacturer warranty, triple the length of the one-year warranties typical with most handhelds.
The mobile computers also offer a number of industry-specific features and advantages.
With IP54-sealed rugged design, audio/visual/tactile scan confirmation, high resolution 2D capabilities and 1.3 megapixel imaging, the CipherLab 1704 is ready for the future.
CipherLab adds a new dimension to its leading range of rugged mobile computers and scanners with a feature packed new 2D device. The CipherLab 1704 offers 1D/2D functionality and 1.3 megapixel imaging capabilities in a single, affordable package that can cope with everything from 3 mil barcodes to signatures, and optionally even full A4 documents.
Another standout feature of the 1704 is its innovative scan confirmation system, which includes variable volume level, LED and vibrator. CipherLab’s trademark rugged design and the sheer versatility of the 1704’s feature set reduce the total cost of ownership, making it a great long-term investment in employee productivity.
“We kept hearing that what our partners needed was an affordable 2D device that could do it all,” explains CipherLab President Sherman Chuang. “What makes the 1704 different is that it can be used under virtually any conditions, because its confirmation system lets the user capture mission-critical data without being able to see or even hear.
The 1704 also has IP54 dust/water protection and a 1.8m drop test rating, so it really is ready for anything.”
