Patient safety starts at the wrist
Zebra’s HC100 Patient I.D. Solution accommodates
our entire line of white and color Z-Band
wristbands—both Z-Band Direct with 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.
For added patient protection, Z-Band wristbands
are the only bands on the market to feature our
patent-pending antimicrobial coating. Independent
lab tests have shown this coating protects the
wristband against S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa,
and MRSA Type II, III, and IV—the leading causes
of hospital infections.
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).

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.
