The CK65 VistA scanner utilizes USB communication once again for easy and reliable data transfer.  KWedge 7.x is a desktop software program used for data transfer to VistA and a licensed copy is included with each scanner.  The CK65 kit with KWedge 7.x is a direct replacement for the CK3 with KWedge or CK3 with Ez Wedge data transfer utilities.

MSS Software has a long history with the VA regarding these programs and is the company who helped make previous Intermec equipment, such as the Janus 2020 and 2410 work with VistA. MSS Software created the special proprietary version of these programs which is pre-installed on each VistA kit that is shipped. This software program contains a menu of the three inventory/maintenance functions (PRCPH, PRCUS, ENNX, MAXIMO and SCPRO).

The scanner kit is a plug and play reader that can be used immediately in the VistA system. These reader kits and accessories are only available in the following kit configurations through qualified SEWP contract holders. For a complete list, please contact us.

Q.  Is KWedge or the VistA scanner approved for use at VA Hospitals?
A.  Yes, search TRM for KWedge for Android to find the approval.

Q: Is there something other than KWedge which we can use to work with the scanner?  KWedge is not allowed to be used at the VA.
A: There is confusion about the version of KWedge.  KWEdge 7.0 for the Android scanners is permitted to be used at VA.  It can be found on TRM.  Older Windows based scanners used KWedge 3.23 which no longer functions correctly since Microsoft’s Windows Mobile Device Center is allowed on VA comptuers.

Q: Do I need Windows Mobile Device Center on the computer to work with the CK65 or CT45 Pocket Scanner?
A: No.

Q: Are the scanners compatible with AbovePar?
A: Yes

Q: Where is Maximo on my scanner?
A: Tap the gear icon on the left top side. Enter the password 00000 and check the box for Maximo. Maximo will now appear with the other options.

Q: Why wont the data transfer?
A: The scanner may not be whitelisted, the IT department will need to be contacted about whitelisting the scanner.
