St. John Bio-logics Wristband - Label Based

The Bio-logics Label Based Admitting wristband is a complete, hospital-wide patient ID system for facilities using label printers in their admitting process. This band consolidates the Admitting, Blood Bank and Nursing Alerts into a single band which will help you increase patient safety and reduce your overall wristband costs.

St. John’s proprietary consolidated Bio-logics wristbands eliminate the need for separate admissions, alert and blood bank bands by combining all three into one. This innovative approach:
     • Promotes 24X7 Patient Identification™ and increases patient safety with the ability to
       immediately re-band the patient at bedside.
     • Increases patient safety by communicating critical patient information in one spot as part
       of the primary admitting band.
     • Provides better comfort for patients because it combines multiple bands into a single ID
       band.
     • Helps reduce the likelihood of information getting lost when replacing multiple
       wristbands.
     • Reduces costs because a consolidated wristband eliminates the need for multiple bands.
     • Helps reduce the likelihood of information getting omitted when replacing multiple
       wristbands.
     • Latex Free
