UHF Wristband for Infants / Baby

UHF RFID wristband for newborn and infant identification

Babies cannot say who they are, and several newborns in one nursery can look alike. This infant wristband carries the identity both on the printed band and on an Alien Higgs 3 UHF chip, so staff confirm it with a scan instead of reading small print on a sleeping baby’s wrist.

How maternity units use it

• Mother–baby matching: the baby’s band is linked to the mother’s record, and both are scanned before feeding, handover or discharge.
• Nursery and ward exits: a fixed UHF reader at the door can log a band passing through; for a complete alerting setup, see the RFID infant monitoring system.
• Paediatric wards and NICU: quick ID checks before medication or tests, without needing to tap the band.

Made for delicate skin

The band is soft, non-allergic PVC, dust and water proof, and single-use. Its tamper-proof button or adhesive closure cannot be undone and refitted on another infant without showing. Newborn bands are commonly worn on the wrist or ankle, so check the fit with a sample first.

Reading considerations

A small band on a small limb keeps the tag close to the body, which shortens UHF read distance, so plan exit reader positions with testing. Mothers can wear the matching adult UHF wristband.
