Z-Band® QuickClip™ Wristbands

Direct thermal polypropylene wristband with secure clip closures

The direct thermal polypropylene wristband with secure clip closures offers exceptional image durability and tensile strength, making it an ideal choice for healthcare environments. These wristbands align with healthcare patient ID and safety goals, as set by The Joint Commission, while also minimizing risks associated with data retention on ribbons (HIPAA Secure) and preventing medication and blood transfusion errors as per FDA standards. They are latex-free, waterproof, and resistant to smearing, abrasion, alcohol, mild cleaners, and more, ensuring reliability in various conditions. Additionally, with color-coated clip options and a standard offering in white, these wristbands are made from polypropylene and vinyl, featuring MR-Safe properties due to the absence of metal content and the use of UV varnishes and water-based inks.

Durability Testing 

 

The image durability of a 5 mil narrow-bar 16 digit Code 128 C bar code printed on a Z-Band Comfort wristband at Zebra’s recommended darkness and print speed settings was measured by scanning with a MS1690 Focus Area Imaging Bar Code Scanner after exposure to solvents, abrasion and water. For each test performed, a “Pass” or “Fail” designation was noted. Following are definitions of the designations:

• Pass = Immediate scan of bar code without repeated attempts
• Fail = Failure of bar code to scan or required repeated attempts to scan

Abrasion TestPass: Exceeds 1000X with a dry crocking cloth
WaterPass: Withstands total immersion in 105° F/40° C water for up to 6 hours
