Datalogic Gryphon I GM4500 Barcode Scanner (GM4500-HC-433K1-HD)

The Datalogic Gryphon I GM4500-HC is the healthcare version of Datalogic's premium cordless Gryphon 4500 2D imager. Its white, disinfectant-ready housing (with light green details) is treated with antimicrobial additives (ISO 22196 compliant) and withstands daily cleaning with harsh disinfectant solutions, while the Datalogic STAR Cordless System (433 MHz) gives up to 50 m of freedom around the bed, the ward or the lab. The scanner charges wirelessly (inductively) in its base – no charging contacts to clean or wear out – and the 1 MP sensor with warm white illumination reads patient wristbands, medication labels, specimen tubes and codes on phone screens and monitors, confirming every read with Green Spot, 3GL™ and an optional silent vibration. In this version, GM4500-HC-433K1-HD, the scanner has High Density (HD) optics – optimised for very small, dense codes; it is supplied as a complete USB kit with the WLC4090-HC-433 healthcare base station (incl. cart clip) and a white 2 m USB cable, ready to plug in and scan.

Key Features

• Disinfectant-ready healthcare housing – white enclosure with antimicrobial additives (ISO 22196 compliant), designed to withstand daily wipe-down with harsh disinfectant solutions – ideal for infection control in wards, laboratories and pharmacies.
• High Density (HD) optics – reads tiny, dense codes down to 3 mil (linear and PDF417) and 4 mil Data Matrix – ideal for small labels on electronics, pharmaceuticals, jewellery and lab samples.
• Reads every code in the care chain – omnidirectional reading of 1D, 2D, postal, stacked and composite codes plus Dot Code: patient wristbands, medication and unit-dose labels, specimen tubes, and codes on LCD monitors, smartphones and other mobile devices; plus image and document capture as BMP, JPEG or TIFF.
• 1 MP imager with white illumination – Datalogic's highly visible warm-white illumination and 4-dot aimer with centre cross make targeting easy, and improved motion tolerance (35 IPS) captures fast-moving codes.
• Datalogic STAR Cordless System (433 MHz) – reliable 433 MHz radio away from the busy 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth band, up to 50 m range in open air, two-way communication and point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations with up to 16 scanners per radio receiver.
• Wireless charging, long battery life – inductive charging in the WLC4090 base eliminates charging contacts that need cleaning or wear out; the adjustable-position base keeps the scanner reading hands-free while it charges (Scan-While-Charging), and the user-replaceable 3250 mAh Li-ion battery delivers up to 80,000 reads per charge.
• Green Spot, 3GL™ and silent vibration – a green spot projected onto the code, Three Green Lights and a vibration alert confirm every good read; combined with the silent operating mode, even night-time bedside scanning does not disturb patients.
• Motionix™ motion sensing – switches seamlessly between handheld and presentation reading modes.
• Flexible connectivity and batch mode – the WLC4090 base is a USB, RS-232 and keyboard wedge multi-interface, depending on the cable; batch mode stores scans when you are out of range; free Datalogic Aladdin configuration tool, OPOS/JavaPOS utilities and Remote Host Download.
• Built to last – withstands repeated 1.8 m drops onto concrete, IP52 sealed, with a 3-year Datalogic factory warranty.

Ideal Applications

• Patient identification – scanning wristbands and patient records at the bedside
• Medication administration (BCMA) – matching patient, medication and caregiver at the point of care
• Laboratories – specimen tubes, sample labels and small, dense 2D codes
• Pharmacies – dispensing, 2D Data Matrix codes on medicine packs and e-prescriptions on phone screens
