Engineered to help healthcare professionals reduce medication errors, the MS1633 FocusBT incorporates the freedom of Bluetooth V1.2 mobility into the platform of the MS1690 Focus, the industry's leading hand-held area imager.
"With the wireless FocusBT there's nothing holding you back from improving patient safety and personalized care," said Nick Ciarlante, product manager for Metrologic. "Bluetooth connectivity and aggressive FirstFlash performance free you to scan multi-dimensional bar codes in a single pass anytime, anywhere."
FocusBT is designed to address the challenges faced by healthcare professionals, including:
| | - Bedside medication verification

"If you're responsible for purchasing data capture equipment and you want to impress senior management, you'll want FocusBT," added Ciarlante. "Because FocusBT is so versatile, it lowers your investment expenditures by eliminating the need to purchase additional specialty scanners."
Regardless of orientation, FocusBT's patented FirstFlash technology increases efficiency by decoding all standard 1D and 2D bar codes in a single flash.
FocusBT also features Metrologic's patented CodeGate and RangeGate technology. CodeGate zeros in on a desired code and completes data transmission with the push of a single button. RangeGate enables FocusBT to scan and store hundreds of bar codes when out of range of host system. FocusBT automatically downloads stored codes to host when connection is re-established.
