Bar codes and QR codes are used at the medical fronts as a measure to prevent medical accidents due to medication errors and patient mix-ups. A typical application is the “three-point authentication system” that scans the barcode printed on the wristband worn on the patient's arm with a barcode scanner and mechanically collates the patient, nurse, and medication. Bar code scanners have become indispensable facility equipment at medical fronts.
In order to prevent the new coronavirus (COVID-19), from now on it will be essential to disinfect and clean barcode scanners daily with a medical germicidal solution. However, common barcode scanner materials are not resistant to the chemicals used for disinfection, and various problems may occur during repeated wiping for disinfection. The case (outside) of the barcode scanner is usually made of polycarbonate or ABS resin, which is not resistant to the chemicals used for disinfection. In addition, antibacterial plastic, which has the effect of suppressing the growth of viruses, is also not resistant to disinfectants.

Disinfecting and cleaning agents used in the medical industry include "sodium hypochlorite", "ethanol/isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol)", and a "hydrogen peroxide solution (oxide)". If these continue to be applied to polycarbonate and ABS resin, the following problems will be experienced:
■ Discoloration and/or peeling of the painted surface ■ Small cracks ■ Stickiness and/or hardening of the surface ■ Corrosion of metal parts of contact terminals ■ Damage to the cable bush (protective material for pulling out the cable from the case) ■ There is a risk of causing functional declines that affect use.
We have a bar code scanner that can be safely disinfected with various disinfectants and cleaning agents used at medical fronts in Thailand
Our healthcare barcode scanners "CR2700" and "MCR-H200W" use a special material that can withstand strong disinfectants. Not only it is resistant to chemicals, it also has several excellent functional features.
【Overview of CR2700/Wireless 2D Code Scanner】
■ Chemical resistance that can safely withstand various chemicals and disinfectants ■ Two types are available: pocket type and grip type ■ Lightweight design that does not make a user tired even after long hours of work (pocket type 137g / grip type 177g： including battery) ■ Contactless charging without contacts (no contact corrosion due to wiping for disinfection) ■ Bluetooth Low Energy 5 improves data security, throughput, and transmission distance ■ Using double lenses, it copes with various codes, from extremely small 2D codes to wide barcodes ■ User feedback can be set by sound, LED, and vibration ■ IP65 rating blocks dust and moisture ■ It can speedily read damaged labels, such as curved and distorted labels
【Outline of MCR-H200W/2D Code Handy Scanner】
■ Chemical resistance that can withstand various chemicals and disinfectants ■ Lightweight design that does not make a user to tired even after long hours of work ■ Using double lenses, copes with various codes, from extremely small 2D codes to wide barcodes ■ Good performance in reading damaged symbols and difficult-to-read symbols ■ User feedback can be set by sound, LED, and vibration ■ Environmental resistance performance IP54: Moisture resistant/Highly robust (drop test 1.8m)
The barcode scanners "CR2700" and "MCR-H200W" for healthcare have a lot of positive use results at the medical fronts in the United States. Not only will it be used at medical fronts, but also it is expected that the bar code reader with resistance to disinfectants will promptly be introduced in stores, factories and others as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus.
