Need a reliable barcode scanner to read your CAC card? We can help! With the CAC1910i, we can scan and transmit both barcodes: the PDF417 on the front and the Code 39 barcode on the back. If required, we can also set the scanner to scan the front barcode but only send the data you require. We often supply the scanners just to transmit the name on the card. This is great for student attendance tracking logs, check in or check out procedures, and mailrooms, when service personnel come to claim packages and mail.

Why BCMA(BPOC) is so important..
It’s important for the patients and the hospitals. About 15 years ago there were three quarters of a million Adverse drug event(ADE) reports. With the advent of many EHR and barcode medication administration systems-that number is decreasing everyday.
We need to continue the push:
- Patients who experienced adverse drug events (ADEs) were hospitalized an average of 8 to 12 days longer than patients who did not suffer ADEs, and their hospitalization cost $16,000 to $24,000 more.
- Anywhere from 28 percent to 95 percent of ADEs can be prevented by reducing medication errors through computerized monitoring systems.
- Computerized medication order entry has the potential to prevent an estimated 84 percent of dose, frequency, and route errors.
- Hospitals can save as much as $500,000 annually in direct costs by using computerized systems.

TCG was the first company to work with OEM’s in the development of healthcare plastic and FIPS 140-2 secure barcode scanners. We are the original. Let us recommend the best BCMA Scanner for your Health Information Systems such as: AllScripts (Eclypsis), Epic, Cerner, CPIS, McKesson, Meditech, and Siemens.
BCMA Barcode scanner at point of care
Never put the wrong label on a specimen or sample again!
Don’t ever grab the wrong sample or specimen labels from the networked laser printer again. Zebra’s QLn Series Healthcare printers are small and light enough
to be easily carried on a belt clip or mobile medication cart and deliver labels at the point
of care. This saves time and money and improves the patient experience, not to mention-patient safety.
In addition, we recently added FIPS 140-2 to enhance wireless security on these devices.

Know your battery life.
The purpose of the field report is to pass on relevant information about the performance of the product and why users misinterpret a bad battery for a broken device.
The use case is the Intermec CN70 in storage facilities tracking assets since 2012. These devices are operated by both a permanent and a temporary work force.
The initial feedback on the devices was very positive. Over time the users started to complain about the Cn70 units failing. These reports were only occurring in facilities that had an extremely high usage of the devices. Most of these complaints were unexpected shut down or black screens on the units. The spreading issue was being blamed of faulty devices.
A common theme when the root cause isn’t understood or the expectations are beyond what the device is capable of providing is the users blamed the device, when the issue is with aging batteries. High use sites rotate or hot swap batteries and similar symptoms were being seen across the facility. The batteries had been in service for 3-5 years. Upon further investigation the battery diagnostic utility on the units wasn’t being used to determine the health state of the battery Users only relied on the charge indicator and if it was above 50%. This status bar was misleading them into thinking a battery was preforming optimally when in fact it was not capable of holding a charge.
By implementing a battery replacement schedule these issues can be avoided. Most batteries will perform well for a period of 2 years under normal use conditions. However extreme use cases can deplete batteries after a year. It’s important to understand the use conditions and to monitor the health of your batteries.
