Sizes
The Tap2Tag Medical wristband comes in six sizes (extra small, small, medium, large, extra large and XXL) measuring 141mm, 157mm, 173mm, 189mm, 204mm and 233mm in diameter. The best way to work out what is the best size for you is to get a piece of string or flexible measuring tape and measure around your wrist. If you are looking for 'casual' wear then choose a band slightly larger than your own wrist measurement. If you want the snug and sporty look then choose a size slightly smaller. The wristbands are great for wearing during sporting activities and extreme sports. Make sure you buy a band that is comfortable and will be a comfortable fit in the place you want to wear it. For instance you may want a larger band to fit over a wet suit if you are scuba diving or surfing in the chilly waters in Cornwall.
Colours
The colours are stunning. You can choose White, Black, Blue, Pink, Purple and Red wristbands to fit your mood or style preference. For sports usage we recommend you select a brighter colour so first responders can see the colour of the band as a direct contrast to your other clothing.
Technical information
The wristbands contain an NXP NTAG203 chip (168 bytes). The chips are locked to prevent over-writing of the information. Any attempt to over write the data will invalidate the data and make the wristband inactive. The wristbands have no internal source of power and rely on the NFC data transfer abilities of an NFC enabled device to access the information on the chip.
Durability
Our new design of wristband has been laser etched to ensure durability. The front of the band is a new teardrop design that has the medical snowflake and sword and serpent etched on it. The words "SCAN WITH NFC OR SEE REVERSE" are also inscribed over the motif. On the reverse of the band is the phrase "ENTER [CODE] AT WWW.TAP2.ME". On the outside of the band are the words "EMERGENCY MEDICAL WRISTBAND". This has also been lasered into the silicone.
The wristbands are tough, really tough. We have taken a wristband diving in the Red Sea to a depth of 30 metres. They worked first time when we arrived back on the dive boat. Hence they are waterproof! We have passed the wristband through a medical autoclave reaching temperatures of 135C. Again they worked first time. In fact we have run the same wristband through the autoclave10 times and the device continued to work. We have driven over the wrist band in a car, boiled it in water, frozen it in a block of ice and shouted abusive at it too. Each time it has come through with flying colours.
Suggested uses
Anyone with a medical condition, allergy or who may need to advise healthcare professionals of particular medications they are taking should consider wearing a wristband.
