The EMT3 Optimized All Risk®; Wristband Triage Tag is specifically engineered as an integral part of the new EMT3 (Enhanced Method of Triage, Treatment and Transportation) System. It features updates such as a larger, more detailed Transportation Receipt, an added Ambulance receipt, and a repositioned Contamination strip now located at the bottom of the tag. This forces determination as to whether patient is contaminated or not before triage. We've added a Red/Yellow/Green RE-TRIAGED check circle receipt above Morgue making it possible to downward triage without deploying a second triage tag. We have also added a shortened tag number for easier radio transmission.
Other new features include:
• Blast Injury indicator
• Tourniquet Applied
• Airway Management (OPA/NPA)
• Glasgow Coma Scale Indicator
• Known Allergies area
NOTE: Florida Version uses the term "EXPECTANT" rather than "MORGUE"
NOTE: Military Version uses the terms "EXPECTANT" rather than "MORGUE" and "MINIMAL" rather than "MINOR"
IMPORTANT: For all tags that utilize adhesive strips on wristbands, adhesive manufacturer recommends replacing tags every 2 years to ensure adequate adhesion.
