Zebra’s HC100 Patient I.D. Solution
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 printerand 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 ourwristband 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 andlabor 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.
