Wristband printer solution
August 1st 2008 Varlink has introduced the
new HC100 wristband
printer from Zebra
Technologies. The HC100
Patient ID printing solution
was developed to meet the
needs of healthcare
providers. The HC100 direct
thermal printer is combined
with easy-to-load cartridges
containing the Zebra's ZBand
antimicrobial-coated
wristbands.
"Zebra products can help
VARs offer healthcare
professionals solutions to
comply with new legislation
coming into force on July
18th standardising the use
of patient wristbands," says
Sabine Kelly, Varlink
marketing manager. "All NHS
organisations will have to
issue patient wristbands
containing the patient's
name, date of birth, NHS
unique number and first line
of address. This information
can be easily incorporated
into a 2D barcode printed on
the patient wristband. The
barcode can be scanned at
the point of care to help
eliminate errors." More articles from Varlink Ltd: |
