RFID Wristbands

The Most Effective Patient ID Technology

PDC Smart Band Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Wristbands represent the next generation in positive patient identification—delivering unmatched accuracy and efficiency. These innovative wristbands connect patients, staff, equipment, locations, and procedures to streamline workflows, reduce costs, and enhance patient safety. Each Smart Band RFID Wristband is embedded with a microchip and antenna carrying a unique ID, allowing seamless data exchange with RFID readers. Patient data can be accessed instantly by nearby devices and applications—no scanning required—while the system continuously collects data for billing, process optimization, and infection control.

Why choose RFID over barcoding?

  • Greater capacity & speed: RFID offers larger memory, longer read ranges, and faster processing.
  • No line-of-sight needed: Tags can be read through clothing, blankets, or the human body, allowing caregivers to check patient info without disturbing them.
  • Real-time data updates: RFID tags can be reprogrammed anytime, unlike barcodes, which must be reprinted to reflect changes.
  • Enhanced security: RFID tags are more difficult to duplicate than barcodes, reducing the risk of identification errors.
  • Improved Read Rates: RFID delivers higher first-time read accuracy, increasing system reliability.
  • Consistent performance: RFID tags are less affected by the wristband's shape or orientation, unlike barcodes, which can fail depending on angle or curvature.
