Revolution for Healthcare Settings
In order to support increasingly digitized healthcare settings and create a major breakthrough, DENSO WAVE EUROPE, member of the Toyota group, has developed the patent-pending SC1-QB scanner. It is now also available on the European market.

One of the most important features, and outstanding advantage over other devices at the same time, is the smooth surface of the scanner. Since there are no openings such as gaps, cracks or screw holes, no microbes or pathogens can hide in them. Thus, the scanner is easy to clean and suitable for daily contact with chemical disinfectants for antibacterial cleaning, which makes the SC1-QB ideal for the use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
The way the scanner works is simple. Users can automatically access data about a patient by scanning a QR Code issued by the responsible hospital or healthcare facility. This is possible and convenient, for instance, during ward rounds. A patient’s wristband can be scanned to access their electronic patient file quickly and easily.
The SC1-QB can also be used for central sterile services to scan the sterilized surgical instruments. Due to its special surface, the innovative scanner is particularly easy to disinfect and is therefore the ideal companion in the sensitive operating area, where hygiene is key.
Since the new scanner weighs only 130 grams, it is pleasantly light – even the lightest in its class (as of August 2022). It is also equipped with Bluetooth 5 (BLE) for additional wireless functionality.

Another advantage is that the internal capacitor of the SC1-QB is fully charged within a maximum of three minutes. Unnecessary downtime can hence be avoided. Even when the battery is low, the scanner manages dozens of scans after just 60 seconds of charging. Unlike conventional rechargeable batteries, the SC1-QB’s internal capacitor never needs to be replaced.
The developers at DENSO have designed the new scanner so that it can resist the rigors of daily use. Among other things, it has been tested to withstand multiple falls from a height of up to two meters. It is also dust-resistant and waterproof.
In addition to hospitals and healthcare facilities, the SC1-QB scanner can also be used in offices, restaurants, retail, and other multifunctional spaces.
