Industry Need
The Health Industry Business Communications Council and the American National
Standards Institute have developed the ANSI/HIBC standards for packed and item level
bar coding for the health care industry. Bar code technology is a proven valuable tool for
reducing labor costs, human error and automating data to improve the quality of patient
care. Standards for proper identification can be found at http://www.hibcc.org. Analytical
diagnosis begins with specimen analysis in laboratories that submit samples to extreme
conditions such as solvent and stain exposure, centrifugal separation, and cryogenic
freezing. Reusable tools and containers are commonly exposed to repeated wash and
autoclave sterilization cycles.
Extreme applications have been at the core of Intermec’s business since the development
of the bar code, with label solutions ranging from pharmaceutical clean rooms designed for
temporary ID to durable military code applications for transcontinental deployment.
Intermec Solutions
Intermec’s identification products address the industry’s challenging requirements such
as resistance to extreme temperatures, sensitivity to particle generation in clean room
environments, and label durability when exposed to harsh chemicals. Many common
configurations are in stock for quick shipment, ensuring that options are readily available
when new demands arise. Custom products can be tailored to more unusual needs. With a
comprehensive product set ranging from durable film labels to economical paper options,
the right products are available to optimize performance and price across the enterprise.
