UHF RFID Patient Wristband for Adults IDTS-TRPW

UHF RFID wristband for adult patient identification

This adult band pairs a printed patient wristband with an Alien Higgs 3 UHF chip. UHF tags can be read from a distance rather than tapped, so one band does two jobs: confirming identity at the bedside with a handheld reader, and recording when a patient passes a fixed reader at a ward, lab or theatre door.

From admission to discharge

1. Admission. Bands can be supplied printed with your logo and a barcode or QR number, and pre-encoded on request. The band’s ID is linked to the patient record at registration.
2. During the stay. Staff scan the band before medication, tests or transfers; doorway readers log movement between departments.
3. Discharge. The tamper-proof band is cut off and discarded, never reused.

Comfort and security

The strap is soft, non-allergic PVC and is dust and water proof. Once fastened, the button or adhesive closure cannot be undone and refitted on someone else without showing. Bands come in several sizes and six standard colours, packed 250 to a roll.

Reading UHF bands on people

The human body absorbs UHF energy, so a worn band reads at a shorter distance than a tag in free air; test reader positions before a ward-wide rollout. A CX1500N UHF handheld reader suits bedside checks. For newborns, use the infant UHF wristband.
