Q. Is using printed patient hospital bracelets more expensive than using hand-written bracelets?
BRENMOOR hospital bracelets are slightly more expensive than traditional hand-written bracelets, however, the patient information is legible for the whole stay of the patient, the bracelets last longer, the information is printed straight from the hospital system reducing the chance of human error and barcodes can easily be added to help improve patient safety.
Q. What type of information can I print onto your products?
The patient hospital bracelets & blood bag tags are easily printed with text, barcodes and images.
Q. If the products are not laminated, is the print still resistant to fluids, alcohol, soaps and water?
Yes, all of the BRENMOOR hospital bracelets and blood bag tags offer a high resistance to alcohol, soaps, fluids and water without the use of a laminate cover.
Q. The clasp for the FAST ranges look bigger than it needs to be, why is that?
We have purposely developed a larger clasp so that it reduces the chance of pressure sores. Using basic physics this reduces pounds per square inch pressure.
Q. What kind of printer can I use to print details on your hospital bracelets and blood bag identification products?
The standard patient id products we supply on rolls are designed and manufactured to be used in a wide variety of thermal printers. These include but are not restricted to SATO, Zebra (2824, 2844 & G-Series), TEC, Brother, Citizen & Avery. There is no need to use thermal ribbon as we manufacture all of the products from heat sensitive material.
Q. Your website indicates that your patient bracelets are supplied in either white or red, do you manufacture in different colours?
We manufacture our bracelets in a variety of colours. The colours you see on the site are the most popular wristband colours used. We can however, produce them in any colour.
Q. I would like the patient bracelet or blood bag tag customised with the name of my organisation, can you do this for me?
The name of your organisation can be printed onto the hospital wristband during manufacture; however, it is also possible for you to add the name to your print template which could be printed as the patient details are produced.
Q. Do I have to print the patient identification bracelets from a hospital system or can they be produced from a “stand alone system”?
The patient id bracelets can be used with HiruMed’s LMS printing software – a very economically priced package that has been specifically written to print patient information onto BRENMOOR hospital wristbands and labels by the user.
Q. Where are the patient id products manufactured?
All BRENMOOR patient identification bracelets and blood bag tags are manufactured in the United Kingdom.
Q. Will BRENMOOR help me to set up a hospital wristband solution?
We will offer help and guidance that you will find invaluable as you set up the system. We will also supply you with free products as you set up templates and show colleagues how easy the patient identification solutions are to use.
