Zebra’s HC100 Patient I.D. Solution combines the
reliable HC100 direct thermal printer with easy-to-load
cartridges containing the only antimicrobial-coated
wristbands on the market - Zebra’s Z-Band® wristbands.
This all-in-one solution was specifically designed for the
healthcare market to improve patient safety.
Zebra’s HC100 Patient I.D. Solution
Easy on budgets! With a lower total cost of ownership than
laser wristbanding, the HC100 Patient I.D. Solution prints
wristbands with no wasted material, no expensive toner, and
fewer help desk cases.
Easy to use! Pop the wristband cartridge into the printer
and the HC100 automatically detects the wristband size,
immediately calibrates, and prints. Z-Band® wristbands are
available in three sizes infant, pediatric, adult and are
designed to withstand exposure to soaps, solvents, blood,
and other hospital elements, and still remain scannable for
longer than the average patient stay.
Easy to integrate!
Zebra partners with the leading Admissions
Discharge Transfer (ADT) software providers
to enable hospitals’ easy integration of our
wristband print solutions.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership!
Producing patient wristbands with a laser
printer is common in hospitals, but more
expensive in the long run. Here are some ways that thermal
printing with the HC100 Patient I.D. Solution provides a lower
total cost of ownership than laser wristbanding:
• Laser has higher maintenance costs.
With laser, the
adhesive backing on the wristband and label forms can
ooze and jam the printer. This leads to increased help desk
calls and higher maintenance costs.
• Laser wristband printing can be time consuming and
labor intensive.
With some laser bands, the staff must load
forms into a special tray, print labels, apply a label to the
band, and then fold a laminate over the band to protect
the bar code image. Compare this to the HC100 Patient I.D.
Solution, which is two simple steps—print and apply to the
patient.
• Laser is wasteful.
Many laser forms include extra
wristbands and labels that are not needed and must be
destroyed under HIPAA guidelines. With the HC100, you
only print the bands you need, which saves money. And
the HC100 printer automatically calibrates to the wristband
size, meaning no wristbands are wasted.
• Laser toner is expensive, and more toner is used to print
high-density bar codes than plain text. The HC100 Patient
I.D. Solution uses thermal print technology, which requires
no toner or ribbons.
