Zebra Z-Bands — Leading Durability and Scannability
Consistently Exceptional Quality
A barcode that fails to scan jeopardizes patient safety and staff productivity. That’s why we design, produce and rigorously pre-test our own line of Z-Band direct thermal wristbands. You get optimum image durability and scanning performance — ensuring first-scan readability even for narrow barcodes.
Up to Six Times More Durable Than Other Wristbands
Barcodes on Z-Band wristbands are proven to withstand water, soap, foams, alcohol and other common solvents found in healthcare. Independent laboratory testing showed that Z-Bands were two to six times more durable than leading competitors after repeated exposure to common hand sanitizers.¹ And that Z-Band barcodes will remain scannable for longer than the average patient stay.
Wide Range of Wristband Colors and Sizes
The ZD510-HC accommodates Zebra’s entire line of white and color Z-Band wristbands. Z-Bands are available in a variety of sizes, from infant to adult, with both adhesive or clip closures. Z-Bands are resistant to hand sanitizers and are non-irritating. You can ensure the comfort of patients with the most sensitive skin with Z-Band UltraSoft, one of the softest wristbands in the market. And Z-Bands have been determined to be MR-Safe and do not appear to present an additional hazard to patients undergoing MRI procedures.
Designed to Improve Safety and Data Security
Easy to Clean and Sanitize
The ZD510-HC printer’s disinfectant-ready UV-resistant housing is designed to handle regular sanitizing with harsh chemicals and UV light, helping to increase patient safety.
Medical Grade Power Supply
The ZD510-HC’s power supply is IEC 60601-1 compliant for use in healthcare facilities.
Secure solution for HIPAA compliance
The ZD510-HC’s Direct Thermal printing technology simplifies HIPAA compliance — there’s no ribbon to secure, incinerate or shred. Advanced security and management features to help secure patient data.
Quiet Operation
The ZD510-HC’s quiet operation won’t disturb patients and other healthcare professionals.
Comprehensive Remote Management Options
Zebra Print DNA — Transforming Printers From the Inside
The ZD510-HC is powered by Link-OS, Zebra’s robust printer operating system, and Print DNA, a combination of productivity, management, development and visibility tools. The result is a superior printing experience through better performance, simplified remote manageability and easier integration.
