Socket Mobile DuraScan D755 | Healthcare 2D Imager | Bluetooth 2.1+EDR | ISBT 128 UDI | (Scanner Only)
The Socket Mobile DuraScan D755 is a Bluetooth 2D barcode scanner purpose-built for healthcare environments — from patient admission through to bedside point-of-care medication scanning. It combines a 1280 × 960 pixel omnidirectional imager with medical-grade plastic housing, ISBT 128 UDI support, and a scan button rated for over five million presses. The CX3866-2899 (white) is the scanner-only configuration, supplied with a USB charging cable and wrist strap; a separate charging cradle (CX3865-2898) is available for desktop docking.
Medical-Grade Housing & IP54 Protection
The D755 is constructed from medical-grade plastic validated to withstand daily cleaning with harsh disinfectant solutions — bleach, alcohol, and quaternary ammonium compounds — without surface degradation or colour change. The IP54 rating provides full dust protection and resistance to water splashing from any direction, covering the spill and cleaning environments of clinical wards, pharmacies, and operating theatres. The housing has been drop-tested to six drops from 2 metres onto concrete and survives 2,500 tumble cycles — well beyond the typical demands of counter-top and cart-based clinical use. The scan button itself is rated for over five million presses, ensuring reliable operation across years of high-frequency clinical scanning.
2D Imager with ISBT 128 UDI & Clinical Symbologies
The D755 uses a 1280 × 960 pixel 2D area imager with an LED aimer and omnidirectional scanning down to 3-millimetre barcodes, reading from contact to 61 cm (24 inches). It natively supports ISBT 128 UDI (Unique Device Identification) barcodes used on blood bags, tissue products, and regulated medical devices — a mandatory requirement for GS1-compliant healthcare supply chains. Full 2D symbology support includes QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, Han Xin, and DotCode alongside all major 1D formats including Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, GS1-128, and UPC variants. OCR font reading handles document scanning alongside barcode workflows. Barcodes on curved surfaces and reflective labels are reliably decoded without repositioning.
Bluetooth 2.1+EDR — Cross-Platform Connectivity
The DuraScan D755 uses Class 2 Bluetooth 2.1+EDR with a range of up to 10 metres (33 feet), supporting both HID and Serial Port profiles for broad software compatibility. It is Apple-certified for stable, driver-free connection with iPad and iPhone — making it ideal for iOS-based EMR and medication administration systems. Android and Windows are fully supported via standard Bluetooth pairing, and Socket Mobile's Capture SDK is available for developers integrating D755 scanning into custom clinical applications. The scanner maintains a persistent Bluetooth connection throughout a full clinical shift without requiring re-pairing.
Battery Life for Full Clinical Shifts
The D755 is powered by a replaceable 1400 mAh lithium-ion polymer battery. Under high-frequency scanning (85,000 scans), the battery lasts approximately 9 hours; under intermittent clinical use, it exceeds 19 hours — covering a 12-hour nursing shift comfortably in either scenario. Standby time exceeds 20 hours. The field-replaceable design allows a spare battery to be swapped in seconds without tools, removing the scanner from service for only moments during battery changeovers. This avoids the downtime of full recharge cycles during busy clinical periods.
Compact Design for Clinical Mobility
The D755 is small and light enough to slip into a uniform pocket or clip to a lanyard — its compact pen-like form factor is significantly less obtrusive than a traditional pistol-grip scanner in patient-facing environments. The wrist strap included in the CX3866-2899 package provides secure handling during active scanning without restricting movement. Audible tones, vibration feedback, and LED status indicators deliver three-channel confirmation for every scan. A separate charging cradle (CX3865-2898) is available for desktop mounting on nursing carts or workstations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DuraScan D755 support ISBT 128 UDI barcodes for blood and medical device tracking?
Yes. The D755 natively supports ISBT 128 UDI (Unique Device Identification) barcodes used on blood bags, tissue products, and GS1-regulated medical devices. This makes it a compliant choice for blood bank scanning, transfusion verification, and medical device traceability workflows under FDA UDI and GS1 standards.
What is included in the CX3866-2899 package?
The CX3866-2899 includes the DuraScan D755 scanner (white) with pre-installed battery, a USB charging cable, and a wrist strap. No charging cradle is included. If a desktop charging dock is required, the separate CX3865-2898 cradle (compatible with the D745 and D755) can be purchased alongside.
Is the D755 safe to clean with hospital-grade disinfectants?
Yes. The D755 uses medical-grade plastic specifically validated for repeated cleaning with harsh disinfectant solutions including bleach, alcohol, and quaternary ammonium compounds. The IP54 sealing protects internal components from liquid ingress during cleaning. Socket Mobile recommends consulting the cleaning guidelines in the user documentation for approved disinfectants and methods.
What is the difference between the D755 and D760?
The D755 is a healthcare-specific scanner with medical-grade plastic, ISBT 128 UDI support, and a compact pen-like form optimised for clinical use. The D760 adds passport/travel ID MRZ reading, OCR font support, and a slightly larger reading range — making it suited to travel and document identity workflows. Both share similar Bluetooth connectivity and iOS compatibility, but the D755 is the better choice for pure clinical BPOC and medication scanning environments.
