Sizes

Our Version 2 wristband now has the added benefit of an adjustable strap making it easier to size. For children it is a great option as the band will expand as they grow. The adjustable strap will fit a wrist with a circumference from 141mm to 204mm.

Colours

As Henry Ford is alleged to have said "You can have any colour as long as it is black". Our first band in this new format only comes in black, which is our most popular colour.

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 has a clearer design showing the medical sword and serpent etched on it.  In addition there is a unique QR code that links to the same medical information as the internal chip. This has also been lasered onto the wristband to ensure durability. The words "EMERGENCY MEDICAL DATA" is also printed on the front of the band.  On the reverse of the band is the phrase "ENTER [CODE] AT WWW.TAP2.ME".  

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.  However anyone undertaking a sport (subject to the regulations of that sport) should consider whether the use of a Tap2Tag Medical would assist paramedics in the event of an emergency.  Details such as your full name, address and emergency contacts may be stored on the device even if you have no known medical problems.  We have considered many possible uses of the devices including those who

• have allergies to
• nuts

• have a medical condition such as 
• having a pacemaker
