Please remember that we need to engrave your medical ID clearly preferably in a dominant color, like Black. Black offers by far the most visibility. Whatever you decide to wear, be it a ID bracelet or ID necklace, your medical jewelry will be visible to everyone. Doctors, caregivers and even your coworkers or people around you will be reading it and this will make it very easy for them. The moment they view this, they will know that this is important information, hence there is no chance of people not knowing your medical condition or wondering what to do next, in case of an emergency. Do remember an emergency can hit you anytime, anywhere, so make sure you are taking enough precaution and care. rnDo remember that it is important that the medical alert ID bracelet should be engraved with the most important medical information using the best possible color that communicates your medical condition. Black is really the best to use. The point is, your medical ID should be really simple and easy to read. In case of an emergency, and you are unable to speak and communicate, the ID will convey all that info easily and quickly. Ensure that the engravers shall also take care of how it looks. The information should be stated and centered on the ID. The engraving should be done in all caps for all information. The key is readability and clarity. After all, engraving in caps will make it easier to read, and that is what an ID is all about. When this is done in Black, it is even better. Remember to adjust the font to capitalize on the available space. Use the maximum font size to fit in all the text. Abbreviations are there for a purpose. Use the proper abbreviations only and if possible and appropriate. When listing Allergies, be specific and say “Penicillin Allergy” or “Allergies: Peanuts, Sulfa, Penicillin”. Do remember to use a proper sequence. List all allergies after any kind of other medical information so it does not get confusing. For example: Allergies: Peanuts, Sulfa, Asthma, On Coumadin is not very clear. Instead, write Asthma, On Coumadin, Allergies: Peanuts, Sulfa. When listing Medications clearly use the words “ON” or “USING” so that it does not get mixed up with any allergies or other medical conditions. Check spellings many times, to ensure that what is required is engraved exactly and correctly as there is no ability to correct anything once it has been engraved. Choose an engraver who delivers results quickly if possible within 24 hrs, so that the moment you have decided that you need to be safe, there is no delay in your safety. Some simple ideas of what you may consider to be engraved are: • Namern• Medical Conditionsrn• Allergies (Food, Drugs, Insects,) • Medications (Only list the ones that need to be known due to risk of complications, or other importance) • Medications (That need to be administered or your doctor recommends you add onto your ID) • ICE (Emergency Contacts) • Doctor’s telephone numberrn• Insurancern• Blood type If it is not clear on what is to be engraved, please be free to ask the engraver or service provider any time. Also ask a doctor if necessary, as these suggestions are only suggestions and not actual medical professional recommendation. The doctor will tell you what is important knowing your medical history. Black is the best as it is really clear and prominent. There are many styles and sizes that you can select from. As this is a jewelry people need to wear all the time, it should also look smart and presentable, whatever your age and gender. So that you are clear what you need to do, you should have the engraving be black on your medical id, which could be a bracelet, a necklace or any other identification jewelry. Engrave Medical ID
