Single use
A single-use device, also referred to as a disposable device, is intended for use on one patient during a single procedure. It is not intended to be reprocessed (i.e., cleaned and disinfected or sterilized).
The product is part of at least one Kit.
A kit is a collection of products (medical and/or logistic) that are needed for a certain intervention in emergency. The choice and quantity of the articles reflects the MSF protocols for this specific situation. The use of Kits allows to start an intervention without a detailed evaluation.

Instructions for use
Patient identification bands are worn by inpatients. The primary purpose of an identification band is to identify the patient wearing the band.
The core patient identifiers should be limited to
- Name
- Date of birth
- Medical record, or other identification number.
Patient identification bands have black text on a white background as this provides the best contrast, which is an important factor in legibility.
