Personal ID™ Barcode Patient Wristbands: Positive Patient Identification Starts Here
Effective, error-free patient identification at point-of-care is one of the most
important steps for ensuring patient safety. Personal ID barcoded patient
wristbands helps prevent dangerous medical errors by making accurate and reliable
patient information immediately available for medication administration, specimen
collection, surgical procedures and any other patient care activity throughout the
hospital stay.
Patient Safety Depends on Positive Identification
Personal ID patient wristbands provide a reliable, easy-to-use and cost-effective
solution for identification of all patients – in-patients, out-patients, infants,
NICU and the elderly. You can print high-resolution text, graphics, barcodes and
patient photos directly on the band using any desktop thermal printer. Printing is
on-demand, so there is no waste and expense of printing entire laser sheets. They are
extremely durable and will stand up to the exposure and wear of a typical hospital
stay. Printed linear and 2-D barcodes are high-resolution, high-contrast and scan
immediately.
Healthcare providers are achieving significant patient safety benefits by
implementing barcoded Personal ID wristbands at point-of-care. As facilities adopt
and expand barcoding throughout other departments, even greater benefits are
realized.
Advantages of Personal ID Wristbands
Easy to use: you print directly on the wristband’s surface, so there’s no
label to first print and then apply. Within seconds, you can print, apply on the
patient, adjust fit, and secure the wristband.
Highly durable: the patented construction is highly resistant to wear and
repeated exposures to soapy water, foam washes, alcohols, Betadine® and Purell®.
Very reliable: the high-resolution print surface produces precise barcodes
that deliver immediate first-time scans while remaining smudge-proof, accurate and
scannable throughout the patient’s stay.
The ultimate in patient comfort: they are soft, lightweight and smooth to the
patient’s skin. The unique “bracelet” design provides a level of comfort not found
on any other wristband. They are latex-free, hypoallergenic, and do not contain
skin-irritating antimicrobial agents or other harsh chemical additives that can
cause allergic reactions in patients.
Barcodes reduce errors and enhance patient safety: scanning barcodes on
patient wristbands eliminates many of the dangerous errors associated with
activities such as medication administration, specimen collection, and surgical
procedures.
Personal ID wristbands offer you a choice. There is a Personal ID wristband that’s
made for any type of patient – NICU, infants, pediatrics, adults, and the elderly.
Personal ID offers a variety of options for integrating bar-coded wristband printing
into hospital information systems. With Personal ID, you can print wristbands when
you want, where you want, and how you want.
