Patient Safety Starts at the Wrist
Zebra’s HC100 Patient I.D. Solution accommodates
our entire line of white and color Z-Band
wristbands—including soft, flexible Z-Band
Comfort with superior resistance to hand sanitizers
and an adhesive tab, and Z-Band QuickClip™
with clip closure—in infant, pediatric and adult
sizes. Bar codes on Z-Band wristbands are proven
to withstand water, soaps, foams, alcohol and
other common solvents found in a healthcare
environment and remain scannable for longer than
the average patient stay.
Z-Band wristbands are the only bands on the
market to feature our patent-pending antimicrobial
coating that protects the wristband.
Z-Band additionally meets the patient I.D.
guidelines of the American Hospital Association,
the Joint Commission and the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Zebra's Z-Band wristbands also were tested
by an independent MRI testing company and
were determined “MR-Safe” (MR Safe—an
item that poses no known hazards in all MRI
environments) according to the terminology
specified in the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) International, Designation:
F2503-08: Standard Practice for Marking Medical
Devices and Other Items for Safety in the Magnetic
Resonance Environment. These wristbands do not
appear to present an additional hazard or risk to a
patient undergoing an MRI procedure.

Solution for a Lower Total Cost of
Ownership Than Laser
The HC100 Patient I.D. Solution uses thermal print
technology, which in the long run saves time and
money over laser printing.
• Avoid the wasted wristbands and labels that come with laser
printing. With the HC100, you print wristbands as needed. And
the HC100 automatically calibrates to the wristband size.
• Laser printing requires expensive toner, and printing bar codes
uses more toner than printing plain text. With the direct thermal
HC100, there’s no toner and no ribbons.
• Wristbanding with the thermal HC100 Patient I.D. Solution is
considerably less labor intensive than with most laser wristband
solutions. Zebra’s solution requires two simple steps—print
the wristband and place it on the patient. Many laser solutions
require six or seven steps to print and assemble the bands.
• With laser, the adhesive backing on the wristband and label
forms can ooze and cause performance problems for the
printer. This leads to increased help desk calls and higher
maintenance costs.
