Near Zero Miss Accuracy
Near Zero Miss (99.9995%) accuracy has brought thousands of businesses in 100 countries the reliability and speed they need to keep their workflow flowing.
You Don't Have to Choose Between Reliability and Speed
With industry-leading scan accuracy, our Near Zero Miss Readers outscan the competition, not only in tests but in real-world performance as well. While your own results may vary, in one specific real-world test on wrinkled plastic and reflective barcodes moving past a scanner at 6 inches per second (see ZiuZ Medical Case Study in the Docs section), results were more than acceptable.
CodeShield® Plastic
CodeShield® Plastics offer superior protection against harsh chemicals at 3 distinct levels. These levels provide the ability to quickly select the Code reader that best suits your use case, environmental requirements, and desired level of infectious disease control.
Ready for Modern Disinfecting Challenges
Ranging from 3 disinfectants to 20, each level expands the list—offering the broadest range of approved chemicals in the barcode scanning industry. Suitable for anything from healthcare to retail, CodeShield® Plastics withstand disinfection time and time again—without degrading. It’s never been easier to protect your patients and staff (or customers and employees) from COVID-19, C. difficile, MRSA, and other infectious diseases.
CodeShield: Reliably Safe Scanning
Quality products begin with quality materials; that’s why Code has developed CodeShield®, a new standard in infectious disease control for barcode scanners. CodeShield® products are certified by an independent lab—confirming best-in-class performance and longevity.
Commonly used cleaners may contain chemical agents that degrade scanner housings, shorten product lifespans, void warranties, and leave your organization with replacement costs.
CodeShield® Level 1 or 2 readers will withstand the most x03commonly used cleaners and CodeShield® Level 3 expands your options to 20—including the harshest chemical cleaners.
Disinfectant-Ready vs. Antimicrobial Plastics
Plastics injected with antimicrobial additives resist bacteria, but they don’t eliminate the need to clean the device. Cleaning, disinfecting, and removing dust and debris are necessary steps for handling equipment to ensure patient safety. Disinfecting cleaners will degrade plastics that do not have a disinfectant-ready chemical composition.
With CodeShield® and an IP65 rating, Code’s CR2700 withstands more disinfectants than any other barcode reader. Looking to leverage the mobile power of the iPhone 7/8/SE 2nd Generation? No need to compromise your infection control protocols—the CR7018 mobile case protects your patients and staff (or customers and employees).

Xspeed™ Decoding
Code's Xspeed Decoding has facilitated swift workflows for thousands of businesses in 100 countries, helping them keep their operations on track.
Keep Your Operation Flowing with the Best of Both Worlds: Speed and Accuracy
Xspeed™ Decoding out-scans the competition, bringing users industry-leading scan speed while maintaining accuracy. Code's scanners actually provide up to 6x the speed of other scanners in real-world performance (not just tests). Your results may vary, but one real-world context where Xspeed Decoding exhibited uncanny performance was with wrinkled and reflective barcodes on plastic. These barcodes were moving past a scanner at 6 inches per second, yet the results were exceptional and lead ZiuZ to choose Code over the competition. See ZiuZ Medical Case Study.
ScanFlex JS
Many Code readers combine bar code reading with an easy-to-use JavaScript-based application programming interface (API) that allows you to decide where your data is channeled.
Your Data Where You Need It
Need to adapt your decoded data to integrate with your current systems?
ScanFlex JS is a JavaScript application programming interface (API) for many Code decoders. Code readers can be programmed to transmit decoded data over a selected communications link, or to store data in reader memory (batch mode when available).
The programming environment provides interfaces to:
- Read and manipulate data in reader memory
- Access data sent by host
- Transmit data to a host computer, via communication link
- Select type of communication link
- Set, change, and retrieve reader configuration settings
FIPS 140-2 Certification
FIPS stands for the Federal Information Processing Standard established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), for use in computer systems for the purpose of ensuring security and interoperability through data encryption. This encryption utilizes government-tested cryptography implemented in the transmission of data. Products certified as 140-2 compliant are tested and validated to be used in facilities under governmental management.
Data security via encryption is a standard part of every Code product, hardware and software. This standard keeps data private and secure. With FIPS Validation, this encryption improves and is more robust. Additionally, this validation qualifies our FIPS solution products as government approved for use in facilities under governmental management. Codes's CR2700 is available in 2 specific configurations that are certified and validated to be FIPS 140-2 compliant.
We have worked with our invaluable partner wolfSSL a proven software development company with a validated encryption library to implement the best FIPS encryption. See the wolfCrypt NIST certificate details. We even took the extra step of testing our library implementation with the renowned corporate security firm Corsec. Code proudly stands behind our FIPS implementation and we look forward to working with the agencies that will benefit from such airtight security.
