Healthcare 2DDisinfectant-readyUSB kit5-year term
The Datalogic Gryphon I GD4590-HC is a corded 2D healthcare handheld scanner with a disinfectant-ready housing, for hospitals, clinics, laboratories and pharmacies that scan patient wristbands, medication, specimens and documents at workstations and carts. Its 1 MP imager reads 1D down to 4 mil plus PDF417, Data Matrix and QR, on labels and screens.
This healthcare kit includes the scanner and a 2 m USB cable. The GD4590 is multi-interface (RS-232, USB, keyboard wedge), and the housing uses anti-microbial additives and plastics designed for daily wiping with harsh hospital disinfectants.
What's in the Box
- 1 x Datalogic Gryphon I GD4590-HC 2D scanner (healthcare housing)
- 1 x USB cable, USB-A straight, 2 m (90A052278)
- No stand - available separately
What It Means in Practice
- Connect by USB to a workstation, medication cart or lab PC and scan straight into the EMR, HIS or LIS as keyboard input.
- Wipe it down daily with hospital disinfectants - the housing is designed for it (wipe, not spray or pour).
- Reads small codes on vials, tubes and wristbands as well as codes on phone screens.
- Warm white illumination and a red laser aimer make aiming easy in wards and labs.
What Will Not Work
- It is corded - no battery or Bluetooth for bedside mobility (choose a cordless healthcare model for that).
- Do not spray or immerse it - disinfect by wiping only.
- The kit cable is USB; RS-232 hosts need a different Datalogic cable.

Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
For fixed workstations, medication carts and labs, a corded healthcare scanner is the simplest reliable choice: nothing to charge, nothing to lose. The Gryphon I GD4590-HC adds a disinfectant-ready housing and a 5-year term to proven Gryphon 2D reading. If staff scan at the bedside away from the cart, consider a cordless healthcare model instead.
✓ Buy it if you need a disinfectable 2D scanner for wards, labs or pharmacy workstations connected by USB.
✕ Skip it if staff need to walk to the bedside without a cable - choose a cordless healthcare scanner.
→ Also consider the cordless Zebra DS8178-HC healthcare scanner.
Tell us your workstations and clinical software - we will confirm the interface and can pre-configure the scanners.
