Warning bracelets for allergies

As usual we are searching the net for IV news. Today we came across this little item about patient safety and the use of bracelets. They use red bracelets for allergies, yellow if you are at risk of falls and wait for it… purple if you are ‘not for resuscitation’. Imagine waking up one morning in hospital…  you look around… you see a cannula in your right hand… you think of your time browsing the IVTEAM site… suddenly that warm glow is shattered as you glance to your left wrist and you notice a purple wristband!
