Healthcare barcode capture with a cleanable charging cradle
1D /2D /QRBluetooth ClassicMedical-grade housing /IP54Healthcare cradle bundle
The Socket Mobile DuraScan D745 is a handheld Bluetooth1D/2D reader designed for healthcare workflows. This exactCX3861-2892 bundle includes the white and pale-green reader and its medical-grade charging cradle. It reads paper and screen barcodes, with a replaceable rechargeable battery and audible/visual scan feedback. Its housing is designed for repeated wipe-down cleaning using the manufacturer’s approved methods.
Best For: Compatible healthcare inventory, identification and pharmacy applications needing portable barcode capture and a cleanable place to recharge. It remains a barcode reader used with a separate host/application.
Before you order: CX3861-2892 includes the D745 and Charging Cradle, rather than the cable-only scanner. Barcode data uses Bluetooth; USB supplies charging. Verify the host app, enabled symbologies and selected mode. Follow Socket Mobile’s care instructions: wipe with approved products, do not pour liquid on it or immerse it. IP54 is not a waterproof immersion rating. A suitable USB power source is required; a mains adapter is not listed as included.
What's in the Box
- DuraScan D745 healthcare reader with rechargeable battery and medical-grade charging cradle.
- Wrist strap, barrel-jack-to-USB-A charging cable and Get Started Guide.
- The cradle design provides a multi-angle mounting bracket; standalone cradle documentation lists two mounting screws. A host computer/tablet and mains USB adapter are separate.
What It Means in Practice
- Pair the reader with a supported Bluetooth host and choose HID keyboard, SPP application or iOS application mode as appropriate.
- Check application integration and enabled barcode types with representative labels and screen codes.
- Use the healthcare cradle or charging cable with a suitable USB power source. The guide discourages relying on a computer USB port for charging.
- Allow the initial uninterrupted charge recommended in the guide, then follow normal charging instructions.
- Follow the dedicated D745 cleaning page and the facility’s approved procedure. Apply cleaning liquid to a wipe or cloth rather than pouring it onto the reader; do not immerse.
What Will Not Work
- No Wi-Fi, NFC or RFID function is claimed.
- USB charging does not establish a wired barcode-data connection.
- Barcode size, quality, media and host/app settings affect reading; Bluetooth range depends on the surroundings and host.
- Wipe-clean medical-grade housing does not mean sterile, autoclavable or suitable for immersion. The reader does not diagnose or validate clinical decisions.

Singular Expert Insight
Check the complete workflow: correct Bluetooth mode, application integration and enabled barcodes matter alongside the scanner. The healthcare housing supports manufacturer-approved wipe cleaning, but the charging routine and facility procedure still need to be planned. Test representative labels and screen codes on the intended host before rollout.
