Anti-Microbial Protection

To protect your Vocera Badges from microbes, some germicide agents are used.

Most exterior surfaces of badges incorporate an antimicrobial additive from BioCote® to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, mold, and fungi. This additive is molded into the badge material, and you cannot wear it off or remove it by scratching the badge, protecting the product's surface from deterioration.

A topical solution, also from BioCote, is applied to the buttons and the plastic display screen of badges. The battery compartment, the inner surface of the battery, and the microphone screen do not incorporate antimicrobial protection.
