Code Code Reader 1500 CR1500 Handheld Barcode Scanner Kit
The CR1500 is a healthcare-forward handheld barcode scanner designed to thrive in demanding clinical environments. Built with CodeShield® Level 3 disinfectant-ready housing, this unit combines rugged durability with sanitation-friendly engineering to keep pace with fast-moving workflows in hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and clinical laboratories. The light-gray healthcare version stands up to frequent wipe-downs, chemical cleaning, and daily use, while maintaining precise scanning performance that clinicians rely on for patient care, inventory management, and medication administration. PVC-free construction further supports environmentally conscious facilities seeking materials that minimize exposure to harsh cleaning agents, without compromising on strength or reliability. With its sturdy build, IP54 protection, and emphasis on ease of cleaning, the CR1500 helps ensure data accuracy and operational efficiency across care settings.
- Healthcare-ready design with CodeShield Level 3 disinfectant-ready housing: The CR1500 is engineered to endure repeated cleaning and chemical exposure typical of hospitals and clinics. This protective housing safeguards sensitive internal components from frequent sanitization, while maintaining optical clarity and reliable scanning. The light-gray color not only reflects a clinical aesthetic but also helps conceal routine wear, ensuring a professional appearance in patient-facing environments. In addition to durability, the PVC-free composition reduces potential chemical interactions and supports facilities pursuing lower-toxicity materials, contributing to safer, cleaner workspaces for caregivers and patients alike.
- IP54-rated ruggedness for real-world healthcare conditions: Dust protection and water ingress resistance are built into the design, enabling dependable performance in areas where dust, splashes, or accidental spills occur. The IP54 rating means the CR1500 can operate in wards, supply rooms, and procedure areas where cleanliness is essential and cleaning protocols are frequent. A robust sealing strategy around connectors and the scanning window helps preserve long-term reliability, so staff can scan confidently without interruption during busy shifts.
- PVC-free construction and durable materials for long-term use: By eliminating PVC from the housing, the CR1500 reduces exposure to potentially problematic materials while delivering a sturdy, impact-resistant chassis. The rugged exterior is crafted to withstand the rigors of daily healthcare use, including routine handling by multiple users, occasional drops, and the rigors of ongoing sanitation routines. This combination supports a lower replacement cycle and consistent performance across extended deployments in clinics, emergency departments, and sterile processing areas.
- Reliable scanning performance in challenging environments: The CR1500 delivers accurate data capture across a wide range of barcode conditions, including faded, damaged, or poorly printed codes. Its decoding logic is optimized for rapid reads, reducing the need for rescan attempts and helping care teams keep pace with high-volume operations. The handheld form factor enables comfortable, one-handed operation at the point of care, in inventory closets, and at medication stations, contributing to faster patient throughput and streamlined clinical workflows.
- Clinically aligned usability and deployment readiness: The healthcare version in light gray is designed to integrate smoothly into daily routines. The form factor, weight distribution, and button layout are oriented toward minimal fatigue during long shifts, with disinfectant-ready maintenance that supports fast cleaning cycles between patient encounters. This makes the CR1500 suitable for bedside scanning, sample collection, medication administration support, and routine inventory checks, helping facilities uphold accuracy while meeting stringent sanitization standards.
