1. A system comprising:
- a first identification band comprising a first aperture;
a second identification band comprising a second aperture, wherein the first and second identification bands show evidence of tampering upon removal, the evidence of tampering comprising shredding, tearing, discoloration, delamination, change in physical dimensions, or necking;
a bridging band connected to the first and second identification bands; and
a sensor signal cable passed through the second aperture of the second identification band, extended along the bridging band, passed through the first aperture of the first identification band to attach to an oxygen saturation sensor.

Abstract
A method that includes configuring a first and a second identification band with unique serial numbers, each of said bands being connected to a signal cable attached to a sensor is provided. The first identification band is securely fixed to a first location on the patient and the second identification band is securely fixed to a second location on the patient. The first and second identification bands are connected with a bridging band. The signal cable is connected to a diagnostic test monitoring system and the patient'"'"'s oxygen saturation is monitored. The first and second identification bands are configured to evidence tampering when removed.
