Positive patient identification

Every year, over 17 million treatments are carried out in more than 2100 hospitals. The length of hospital stays is constantly decreasing while the pressure to match safety with cost-efficiency grows.

Mediaform’s focuses on patient safety, producing printable, personalized patient wristbands, which are quick to generate and easy to issue to every patient. Doctors and nurses have the responsibility to check the identity of a patient prior to any care or treatment measure.

Patienten identification with Armilla^®

Armilla^® patient wristbands and identification bracelets

Thanks to the ergonomic shape and the materials used, the patient wristbands are very comfortable to wear and allow maximum freedom of movement. The customized clasp means the patient wristbands can be individually sized and tamper-proofing ensures the identification bracelets is non-transferable.

Maximum safety – all Armilla patient wristbands meet the strict guidelines for the biological analysis of medical products according to ISO 10993-5, 1999: “Test for in vitro cytotoxicity”. Armilla patient wristbands do not release any cytotoxic substances, which could, for example, trigger allergies. Testing for cytotoxicity is recognized as the standard test for medical products and is mandatory.
