Pedz™ Tag User Sheet
Instructions for the Pedz™ Tag
Applying the Tag
The tag is not sterilized at the factory and should be
cleaned before first use. The Pedz Tag may be applied
to either the wrist or ankle as per hospital policy.
1 Measure the child’s extremity using the
Sizing Guide.
2 Use the Band Clippers to cut the Banding
Material to obtain a cut-to-length band.
3 Firmly push one end of the band into either
of the openings on the side of the tag until
you feel the locking mechanism engage .
4 Wrap the band around the extremity.
5 Firmly push the loose end of the band into the
opposite opening on the side of the tag until
you feel the locking mechanism engage. A
flashing light on the front of the tag indicates
a successful connection.
6 Optionally, for children over three years of
age, snap a Tag Skin onto the face of the tag.
7 Verify that the tag has been admitted into the
system at the Pedz computer.
Assessing Tag Fit
When you apply a tag to the child, ensure that a
secure fit is obtained. A secure fit is defined as a fit
snug enough to prevent the tag from being slipped
off the hand/heel, and loose enough to wiggle but
not rotate freely.
8 It is recommended that a staff member examine
each Pedz Tag and tag site regularly (per hospital
policy) for appropriate fit and the absence of
any skin irritation.
9 If the Pedz Tag appears to be too tight, as evi-
denced by tag / band impressions on the child’s
skin or the inability to move the tag on the skin
surface, remove the tag immediately and apply
a new band.
Removal Key
The Removal Key is used by
authorized staff to quickly release
the band from the tag. It can be
attached to a lanyard.
Removing the Tag
1 If there is a Tag Skin, remove it by lifting one
edge and pulling it away from the tag’s face.
2 Slide the Removal Key over the face of the tag
from either side (for left or right-handed use).
3 Apply pressure using your thumb and forefinger
to release the end of the band from the tag.
4 Discard the band if the child is being dis-
charged. Return the tag for cleaning and reuse.
Cleaning the Tag and Removal Key
Consult with your Infection Control representative
for cleaners available to your hospital that have
been approved for use on plastics as stated in
STANLEY Healthcare Technical Bulletin [KB#
8184] “Approved Cleaning Materials for Patient
Security Tags” – available on the STANLEY
Healthcare Support Community (stanleyhealthcare.

also be soaked in a cleaning solution.
4 Clean the surface and openings with a small
brush, as needed.

allow to air dry.
