1.0 Introduction
Code is a market leader in manufacturing and distributing bar code readers for Bar Coded Medication Administration (BCMA).
The physical size, configurability, modular design, reliability, and superior bar code reading performance of Code readers make
them a perfect fit for the bedside environment.
The Code Reader™ 2500 (CR2500), in wireless or cabled configurations, or the Code Reader 1200 (CR1200) cabled reader, can be
used in this environment. However, Code recommends the use of the wireless CR2500 for convenient operation and to eliminate
the possibility of a cable interfering with patient care.
Through Code’s experience in implementing bar code readers in hospitals, the Bar Coded Medication Administration QuickStart
Guide has been developed to provide quick and easy instructions to configure a Code bar code reader to the preferred workflow,
as outlined in this Guide.
For more information about Code bar code readers, user manuals are available at:
