Identification
is the Heart
of Patient
Safety
Positive identification provides the foundation for
patient safety through the systematic prevention of medical errors. It is the gatekeeper for
quality care, connecting the patient to all critical hospital functions.
The combination of Precision Dynamics Corporation (PDC), the global leader in healthcare
identification solutions, and TimeMed Labeling Systems, Inc. provides hospitals with a one-of-a-kind
patient safety offering. Now you can choose from the widest selection of wristband and label systems that
directly interface with your information technology and revenue cycle systems to track patient care from
admission to discharge.
With increased confidence that medical processes are managed correctly, nurses can focus on face-to-face
patient time, fostering a blame-free workplace.
Both caregivers and patients feel peace of
mind from technologies that are
designed to work for them.

PDC-TimeMed Products Meet
The Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals
1: Improve the accuracy of patient identification
2: Improve the effectiveness of communication among caregivers
3: Improve the safety of using medications
8: Accurately & completely reconcile medications across the
continuum of care
9: Reduce the risk of patient harm from falls
13: Encourage patients’ active involvement in their own
care as a patient strategy
16: Improve recognition and response to changes in a
patient’s condition
The Best & Safest Hospitals Use PDC-TimeMed Products
The Joint Commission and the FDA identify inaccurate
oral and written communication as the primary barrier
to patient safety and have mandated bar coding for
automated medication administration. The use of such
systems will aid in a 50% reduction in medical errors,
prevent more than 500,000 adverse events, and save
$93 billion over the next 20 years, according to the FDA.
Considering the safety benefits, it’s easy to understand
why both patients and caregivers prefer hospitals that use
advanced information technology.
Patient safety was the focus of Hospital & Health
Networks 2008 annual survey of the “100 Most Wired
Hospitals,” and U.S. News & World Report’s 2008

Quality & Innovation
Continuous innovation and a passion for patient safety compel the
design of all PDC-TimeMed products, which are designed and
tested to the highest quality standards. We are the only patient
identification-focused company to earn ISO-9001: 2000 and ISO
13485: 2003 certification at our main facility in San Fernando, CA.
• Only the highest quality materials and components are used in our products
as needed to maintain integrity when exposed to liquids and chemicals, while
withstanding smearing, seepage, or puckering.
• Wristbands are rigorously tested for durability and strength to provide greater
tensile strength and less elongation compared to competitive products. They
also provide maximum security with features like our patented SecurSnap®
closure to prevent tampering and transfer of bands.
• Wristbands are constructed of soft materials and smooth edges that are delicate
to patient’s skin. Unlike other wristbands, you’ll never find stiff, sharp, or rigid
materials that can be damaging to skin.
• Wristbands and labels are latex and DEHP-free (except vinyl).
• PDC-TimeMed strictly adheres to proper handling of substances through MSDS
(Material Safety Data Sheet). MSDS ensures the safe and responsible handling of
any chemical products to prevent injury or damage to our employees, patients, or
the environment.
