Color Coded Bands

Endur ID offers Color Coded Alert Bands

In response to confusion caused by the lack of standards in color coding leading to potential risks to patients, State Hospital Associations across the US are working to establish standards for color coded wristbands. The states working together have developed consistent standards, adopted by over 18 states as of this release and it is expected to be adopted by all 50 states soon.

The standards are

Allergy - Red

Fall Risk - Yellow

DNR - Purple

Latex Allergy - Green

Restricted Extremity - Pink

Endur ID, a long time proponent of color coding has been offering systems to add these and other alerts to the primary band using desktop color laser printers. While Endur ID offers solutions that incorporate color coding onto the primary identification band we have recognized the immediate need of many healthcare facilities to meet the new color coding standards without a complete replacement of ther patient identification system.

To meet these standards, Endur ID now offers a complete set of Color Coded Alert Bands, these are supplied ready to use and are applied with a simple adhesive closure, requiring no clasps or clips. The bands are pre-printed in the appropriate color and feature large and easily read text denoting the risk. The bands are designed to be durable, comfortable and easy to use.

Endur ID is pleased to offer these as a companion product to their complete line of patient identification products.
