1. A recipient verification system comprising:
- a primary band including;
a base defining a band identification portion for displaying a recipient identifier,first and second slots formed through a thickness of the band,a strap defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an intermediate segment between the first and second ends, wherein the first end is contiguously formed with the base such that the strap extends from the base to the second end,a closure device attached to the base opposite the first end of the strap; and
a secondary band provided apart from the primary band;
wherein the primary band is configured to provide a primary worn state of the system in which the intermediate segment of the strap is looped about a recipient'"'"'s appendage and is secured relative to the base by the closure device independent of the slots;
and further wherein the system is configured to provide a replacement worn state in which the secondary band is looped about recipient'"'"'s appendage and is assembled to the base via the slots.

Abstract
A recipient verification system including a band having a base, a strap, and a closure device. The base defines a band identification portion for displaying a recipient identifier. The strap extends from the base, and the closure device is attached to the base opposite the strap. First and second slots are formed through the band. In a primary worn state, the strap is looped about a recipient'"'"'s appendage and secured to the base via the closure device independent of the slots. In a replacement worn state, the base is severed from a majority of the strap and is secured to the recipient'"'"'s appendage by a secondary band assembled through the slots.

16. A method of applying a recipient verification system to a recipient, the method comprising:
-
receiving a band including; a base defining a band identification portion for displaying a recipient identifier, first and second slots formed through a thickness of the band, a strap defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an intermediate segment between the first and second ends, wherein the first end is contiguously formed with the base such that the strap extends from the base to the second end, a closure device attached to the base opposite the first end of the strap; looping the intermediate segment of the strap about an appendage of the recipient; securing the intermediate segment to the closure device to establish a primary worn state in which the band is secured to the recipient'"'"'s appendage; wherein the step of securing the intermediate segment to the closure device is characterized by the strap not passing through either of the first and second slots; severing the base from the closure device and a majority of the strap to detach the band from the recipient'"'"'s appendage following the step of securing the intermediate segment to the closure device; assembling a secondary band to the first and second slots; looping the secondary band about the recipient'"'"'s appendage; and securing the secondary band to establish a replacement worn state in which the base is secured to the recipient'"'"'s appendage. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
