Do Typenex Barcode Blood Bands work with any Blood Bank Information
System?
- Typenex Barcode Blood Bands work with any 510(K) approved information system, as long as the barcode scanners can read GS1-128 linear barcodes. Many 2-D barcode readers can read linear barcodes in addition to 2-D, so please check with your scanner manufacturer.
Why does Typenex have 5 colors of the Original and Next Generation blood
bands?
- Typenex has many US customers who were required to change their blood band colors because of state by state “alert wristband” color standardizations to cut down on confusion among nurses at different facilities.
Typenex now offers red, green, yellow, blue and orange blood bands in both Next Generation Barcode Blood Band versions, as well as the Original Blood Band.
