Recipient verification systems and methods of use including recipient identification
First Claim
1. A recipient verification system comprising:
- a band including;
a base defining;
a band identification portion displaying a predetermined band identifier, the band identification portion forming opposing first and second passages,a recipient information portion adjacent the band identification portion for receiving recipient-specific information,a trailing shield segment disposed over the band identification portion,a leading shield segment disposed over the recipient information portion, the leading shield segment having a first end secured to the base and a second end initially free of the base and subsequently bondable to the base for protecting recipient information applied to the recipient information portion,a strap extending from the base and terminating at a tail end; and
a label strip extending from the base and including a first removable label displaying the predetermined band identifier;
wherein the recipient verification system is transitionable from an initial state in which the strap is free of the band identification portion to a worn state in which the strap is wrapped about a wearer'"'"'s appendage, the tail end is passed through at least one of the passages, and a section of the strap is maintained along the band identification portion, and further wherein the predetermined band identifier on the band identification portion is visible through the trailing shield segment in the worn state.

Abstract
A recipient verification system including a band and a label strip. The band includes a base, a trailing shield segment, and a strap. The band defines a band identification portion displaying a band identifier, as well as opposing passages. The trailing shield segment is disposed over the identification portion. The strap extends from the base and terminates at a tail end. The label strip extends from the base and includes at least one removable label displaying the predetermined band identifier. In an initial state, the strap is free of the band identification portion. In the worn state, the strap is wrapped about a wearer'"'"'s appendage, with the tail end passing through at least one of the passages and a section of the strap maintained along the identification portion. The predetermined band identifier displayed on the identification portion is visible through the trailing shield segment in the worn state.

12. A method of manufacturing a recipient verification system, comprising:
-
forming a band including; a base defining a recipient information portion and a band identification portion forming opposing passages, a leading shield segment disposed over the recipient information portion, the leading shield segment having a first end secured to the base and a second end initially free of the base and subsequently bondable to the base for protecting information applied to the recipient information portion, a trailing shield segment disposed over the band identification portion; forming a label strip including a first removable label; and assembling the label strip to the band; wherein upon final assembly, a predetermined band identifier is displayed on the band identification portion and the first removable label; and further wherein the recipient verification system is transitionable from an initial state in which the strap is free of the band identification portion to a worn state in which the strap is wrapped about a wearer'"'"'s appendage, the tail end is passed through at least one of the passages, and a section of the strap is maintained along the band identification portion, the predetermined band identifier on the band identification portion being visible through the trailing shield segment in the worn state. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
