Zebra HC100 Patient ID Direct Thermal Wristband Printer, Z-Band Cartridges

Zebra HC100 Patient I.D.
Direct Thermal PrinterIntroducing the HC100 Patient I.D. Solution: an easy and cost-effective way to improve patient safety This all-in-one print solution combines the reliable HC100 direct thermal printer with easy-to-load cartridges containing the only antimicrobial-coated wristbands on the market—Zebra’s Z-Band® wristbands.

Developed specifically to meet the unique needs of healthcare providers, Zebra’s reliable HC100 Patient I.D. Solution makes wristband printing easier and more cost-effective than laser solutions.

This solution combines the reliable HC100 direct thermal printer with easy-to-load cartridges containing the industry's only antimicrobial-coated wristbands—Zebra’s Z-Band® wristbands. The HC100 printer detects wristband size—adult, pediatric, infant—and automatically calibrates its settings for optimal print quality.

There’s minimal training required! 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 bar codes 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 partners with the leading Admissions Discharge Transfer (ADT) software providers to enable hospitals’ easy integration of our wristband print solutions. For added peace of mind and a cost-effective way to plan for your annual maintenance expenditures, protect your investment with a ZebraCare™ service agreement.
