RFID solutions using Hospital & Patient RFID Wristbands
Hospital RFID wristbands for patient identification
A patient wristband with an RFID chip lets staff confirm identity by scanning the band instead of reading a handwritten name: at admission, at the bedside, in the lab and at the pharmacy counter. All three bands here are disposable PVC with a tamper-proof closure, so a band stays on one patient from admission to discharge and is then cut off and discarded.
UHF band for adults
The UHF RFID Patient Wristband for Adults carries an Alien Higgs 3 EPC Gen2 chip, so it can be read by handhelds and by fixed UHF readers at ward, lab and theatre doors.
UHF band for newborns
The UHF RFID Wristband for Infants and Newborns puts the same chip in a small band, for newborn ID, mother–baby matching and nursery exit monitoring.
NFC / HF band
The NFC / HF Hospital Wristband uses a 13.56 MHz chip (NTAG213, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Classic 1K or ICODE) for tap checks with a desk reader or an NFC-enabled device.
UHF or NFC: how to choose
| Feature | UHF patient bands | NFC / HF patient band |
|---|---|---|
| How it is read | At a distance, by fixed, desktop or handheld UHF readers | By a tap on an HF reader or NFC-enabled phone or tablet |
| Best for | Tracking movement through doors, infant security, ward headcounts | Bedside identity and medication checks where a deliberate tap is wanted |
| Chip | Alien Higgs 3, EPC Gen2, 512-bit user memory | NTAG203/213, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Classic 1K or ICODE |
| Versions | Adult and infant | One band, chip chosen at order |
Hospitals whose nurses already carry NFC phones or tablets on rounds often start with NFC. Hospitals planning door readers or an infant security system need UHF, because it reads without a tap.
Printing and encoding
Bands can be custom printed with your hospital logo and variable data such as serial numbers, barcodes and QR codes, and the chip can be pre-encoded to match. At admission, staff link that number to the patient record in your HIS. Bands come in blue, red, green, yellow, orange and white, which can be used for ward or risk colour-coding. The material is soft, non-allergic PVC that is dust and water proof.
Readers and systems to pair
- Admission desk: a UHF desktop reader such as the UDR-111 to register UHF bands, or the HF RFID Desktop Reader Writer IDTS-RWS9 for NFC/HF bands.
- Ward rounds: a handheld RFID reader for UHF bands, or an NFC-enabled phone or tablet for the NFC band.
- Maternity wards: the RFID Infant Monitoring System tags each newborn and uses readers in the hospital to alert staff to a mother–baby mismatch or a baby being taken out.
For patient safety, equipment tracking and pharmacy uses beyond wristbands, read RFID in healthcare and hospitals.
Frequently asked questions
Are these wristbands comfortable for a long hospital stay?
They are made of soft, non-allergic PVC and are dust and water proof, so patients can keep them on throughout their stay.
Can a wristband be reused for the next patient?
No. The closure is tamper-proof and single-use: the band is cut off at discharge and a new one is issued. It also means a band cannot be moved to another patient unnoticed.
Can bands be printed with barcodes and pre-encoded?
Yes. Bands can be printed with your logo and variable data such as serial numbers, barcodes and QR codes, and the chip can be pre-encoded on request so it matches the printed number. The number is linked to the patient in your HIS at admission.
Which reader do we need?
UHF bands need a UHF reader: a desktop reader at the admission desk, handhelds for rounds and fixed readers at doors. The NFC / HF band needs a 13.56 MHz reader or an NFC-enabled phone or tablet.
Is there a wristband for newborns?
Yes. The UHF RFID Wristband for Infants and Newborns is a smaller band with the same UHF chip. For a complete newborn security set-up with readers and alerts, see the RFID Infant Monitoring System.
