New Infant Bar Code Tag Improves Positive Patient Identification for Medication Administration in Hospital Labor & Delivery Departments

Precision Bar Code Tag is First of Its Kind for Infant Identification Bar Code Products

San  Fernando, CA (December 12 2005) – Precision Dynamics Corporation (PDC), a global leader in automatic wristband identification, introduced its new Precision Bar Code Tags for infants. PDC created the bar code tag to meet the needs of hospital labor and delivery, pediatric and NICU departments asking for a reliable bar code identification solution for infants.

Traditional infant identification wristbands or anklebands are small and do not provide sufficient room for patient information. What’s more, bar codes on these small bands are prone to curvature, which decreases the scanability of the bar code. Precision Bar Code Tags are threaded on to the wristband thereby eliminating the curvature issue and enabling more successful first time scans.

Precision Bar Code Tags accommodate either linear or 2D bar codes, along with up to three lines of text. This frees up space on the wristband for pertinent patient information and reduces cost by eliminating the need for extra ID bands. The tags are printed using direct thermal printers which provide high quality legibility of bar codes and text. The tags are compatible with most thermal printers that have 1.5” and 3” core sizes.

Positive patient identification is critical to patient safety. Hospitals are using Precision Bar Code Tags for medication administration, specifically to verify that the right patient is receiving the right medication. The product comes with two infant tags and slightly larger tags for mother and father wristbands, providing additional patient identifiers for nurses. Infant only tags will be available in the beginning of 2006, and sets of four Pediatric sized tags are available now.

PDC wristbands come with pre-printed alpha-numeric serial numbers which are typically used as an additional cross-match between newborn and parents. The tags accommodate any PDC mother/infant wristband; SnugFit^® and Veri-Color^® are recommended.
