The Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1960h is a premium corded healthcare handheld scanner designed for clinical environments where fast, accurate and reliable barcode scanning supports safer patient care. Built as the healthcare-focused evolution of the well-known Xenon and Xenon XP healthcare scanner families, the Xenon Ultra 1960h combines strong 1D/2D scanning performance with a housing and operating concept tailored to hospitals, clinics and patient-facing workflows. The scanner is intended for healthcare applications such as patient identification, wristband scanning, medication administration, specimen tracking, laboratory workflows, admissions, pharmacy operations and bedside care. It reads standard 1D, PDF, 2D, postal, Digimarc, DOT Code and OCR symbologies, depending on configuration, allowing healthcare organizations to standardize barcode capture across a wide range of clinical and administrative processes. The Xenon Ultra 1960h uses Honeywell’s next-generation scanning platform with a 1280 × 1080 pixel image sensor and strong motion tolerance of up to 4 m/sec for 13 mil UPC at optimal focus. This supports fast barcode capture even when clinicians are working quickly or scanning from less-than-perfect angles. With ±360° roll, ±65° pitch and ±65° skew, users do not need to carefully align every code, which helps reduce friction in repetitive clinical workflows. For improved aiming, the scanner includes a green-dot aimer with a 525 nm LED aimer light source, helping users clearly target barcodes and improve first-pass accuracy. The scanner can read barcodes with print contrast as low as 15%, which is valuable when working with labels, wristbands or documents that may not always be in ideal condition. SR and HD configurations provide different minimum element capabilities, supporting both general healthcare scanning and higher-density code requirements. The healthcare design focuses not only on scanning performance, but also on patient comfort and hygiene. The improved housing reduces the number of small gaps, nooks and crannies where contaminants may remain, supporting easier cleaning in shared clinical environments. Multiple operating modes, including Patient Do-Not-Disturb, vibration and scan lamp modes, help clinicians maintain productivity while reducing unnecessary disruption for patients. Durability is strong for a healthcare handheld scanner. The Xenon Ultra 1960h is specified for a 3.0 m Mil-Spec drop, multiple 1.8 m drops to concrete across the operating temperature range, and 2,000 tumbles at 0.5 m. With IP52 sealing, it provides practical protection for everyday indoor healthcare use. The operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C supports typical hospital, pharmacy, laboratory and clinical environments. Integration is straightforward through USB, Keyboard Wedge and RS-232 host interfaces. Organizations already using Xenon XP 1950h scanners can reuse existing cables when migrating to the Xenon Ultra 1960h, helping reduce upgrade cost and deployment complexity. Honeywell’s Scanner Management Utility supports centralized deployment and update management, which is valuable for larger healthcare organizations managing many devices across departments. The Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1960h is best suited for healthcare providers that need a reliable, premium 2D healthcare barcode scanner for patient safety workflows, medication verification, sample tracking and clinical administration. It offers a strong balance of scanning speed, hygienic design, patient-friendly operating modes and long-term manageability.
