There’s minimal training required, simply pop the wristband cartridge into the printer and the HC100 automatically detects the wristband size, immediately calibrates, and prints. You get long lasting wristbands with barcodes that remain scannable for longer than the average patient stay.  When the cartridges are empty, return them for recycling.  For optimal printing quality and proper printer performance, the HC100 printer is designed to work only with cartridges of genuine Zebra™ Z-Band wristbands.

Zebra’s HC100 Patient I.D. Solution accommodates our entire line of white and color Z-Band wristbands, both Z-Band Direct with an adhesive tab and Z-Band QuickClip™ with clip closure, in infant, pediatric and adult sizes.  Barcodes on Z-Band wristbands are proven to withstand water, soaps, foams, alcohol and other common solvents found in a healthcare environment.

For added patient protection, Z-Band wristbands are the only bands on the market to feature our patent pending antimicrobial coating. Independent lab tests have shown this coating protects the wristband against S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and MRSA Type II, III, and IV which are the leading causes of hospital infections.  Z-Band additionally meets the patient I.D. guidelines of the American Hospital Association, the Joint Commission and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

These wristbands are also great for event management.  Zebra partners with the leading Admissions Discharge Transfer (ADT) software providers, to enable easy integration of our wristband print solutions.

Why use the Zebra HC100 over laser printed wrist bands?

- The HC100 is a one step process.  The HC100 prints all the information you need directly on to the wrist band
- Laser printing is a two step processs of getting the sticky label and placing it the plastic sleeve
- When printing labels or wristbands on a laser printer, the glue used can cause problems to the print head and rollers meaning higher maintainance   costs to the printer
