The Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1962h is a premium cordless Bluetooth healthcare handheld scanner designed for clinical environments where fast, accurate and reliable barcode capture supports patient safety and efficient care delivery. As the healthcare-focused cordless model in the Xenon Ultra family, it combines Honeywell’s next-generation scanning platform with healthcare-oriented ergonomics, disinfectant-ready construction and flexible charging options. The scanner is built for bedside care, medication administration, specimen collection, patient identification, laboratory workflows, pharmacy operations and clinical documentation processes. It reads standard 1D, PDF, 2D, postal, Digimarc, DOT Code and OCR symbologies, depending on configuration, enabling healthcare organizations to support a wide range of barcode-based workflows with a single scanner platform. Cordless operation is a major advantage in patient rooms, ICUs and other space-constrained healthcare areas. By removing the cable from daily scanning tasks, the Xenon Ultra 1962h gives clinicians more freedom of movement around patients, family members, carts, beds and medical equipment. The scanner takes up minimal space and can be stored or mounted in different positions, helping maintain a cleaner and more flexible clinical workspace. The Xenon Ultra 1962h uses a 1280 × 1080 pixel image sensor and supports motion tolerance up to 4 m/sec in SR and HD configurations. Its wide tolerance for natural scanning angles — ±360° roll, ±65° pitch and ±65° skew — helps clinicians scan quickly without carefully aligning each barcode. The scanner can read codes with print contrast as low as 15%, which is valuable for wristbands, medication labels, specimen labels and documents that may not always be printed perfectly. For targeting and user feedback, the scanner includes a green-dot aimer, 525 nm LED aimer, good decode LEDs, rear-view LEDs and an adjustable beeper. Multiple operating modes, including Patient Do-Not-Disturb, vibration and scan lamp, help maintain clinician productivity while reducing unnecessary disturbance for patients, especially in bedside and night-shift workflows. The power system is one of the strongest differentiators of the 1962h. The scanner can be configured with a standard 3300 mAh lithium-ion battery or a battery-free supercapacitor. The lithium-ion version supports up to 80,000 scans per charge and approximately 22 hours of operation, making it suitable for intensive full-shift use. The battery-free supercapacitor version can reach a full charge in under 60 seconds when using a powered USB port or external wall adapter and provides approximately 450 scans per full charge, making it well suited for bedside medication administration, specimen collection or secondary scanning points. Contactless versions are available for both battery and battery-free configurations. This helps reduce failures caused by corrosion or worn charging contacts, which is especially relevant in environments where devices are regularly wiped down or frequently returned to charging bases. The supercapacitor also offers up to 500,000 charge cycles, supporting long-term use in workflows where rapid, frequent charging is preferred. Wireless communication is provided through Bluetooth v4.2 with Adaptive Frequency Hopping. The default Class 1 configuration supports up to 100 m line-of-sight range, while Class 2 operation can be configured for shorter-range environments. BLE support adds flexibility for compatible systems. Host interfaces include USB, Keyboard Wedge and RS-232, supporting integration with healthcare workstations and clinical applications. The Xenon Ultra 1962h is built for demanding daily healthcare use. It is engineered to withstand 50 drops from 1.8 m to concrete, an 8 ft Mil-Spec drop, and 2,000 tumbles at 0.5 m. The scanner has IP52 sealing, while the contactless charging base has IP41 sealing. All 1962h models include Disinfectant Ready Housing, and the improved housing design reduces small gaps and hard-to-clean areas where germs could remain. The Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1962h is ideal for healthcare organizations that need a premium cordless 2D healthcare barcode scanner with strong scanning performance, patient-friendly operating modes, flexible power choices and durable disinfectant-ready construction. It is particularly strong for hospitals, clinics, laboratories and pharmacies that want to improve barcode-driven clinical workflows while reducing cable clutter and maintaining patient comfort.
