Brother mobile is answering the call by providing rapidly deployable mobile, desktop and industrial printing and labeling solutions, said Ravi Panjwani, vice president of Brother mobile solutions. “These high-demand public health applications require governments, healthcare organizations, laboratories, and even pharmaceutical companies to make informed decisions that include the best technologies, processes, and workflows to get mobile sites up and running quickly

Public Health Solutions
Today’s demand for testing or vaccine solutions traditionally located within hospitals or laboratories does not easily extend to mobile environments beyond the four walls of a medical facility. However, large-scale mHealth rollouts now require rapidly deployable solutions to print labels, barcodes, receipts or tickets—on-demand and in real-time. Brother’s line of standalone mobile, desktop and industrial printers are ideally suited for remote and mobile application needs due to their top-of-the-line connectivity, integration, internal database capabilities, and durability to operate in virtually any type of environment .
Several real-world use cases highlight the benefits of Brother printing and labeling solutions in the fight against the pandemic:
Rapid Deployment of Vaccination Receipts Holmium To kickstart the rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine, Brother recently partnered with Canadian provincial health authorities to provide a mobile printing solution for vaccinators. The agency is currently deploying hundreds of vaccinations across the province and is issuing three receipts for each vaccinated patient.
Health Canada has selected the Brother RuggedJet 4 Series, which easily prints 4×4-inch receipts via Airprint® and Apple® iPad®. These popular printers print receipts in English and French with details including patient name, location, date of vaccine, type of vaccination and date of second injection. Durable printers can withstand hundreds of prints per day, are easy to set up, and give employees mobile printing flexibility.
Test Tube Labels for COVID-19 Testing Sites Holmium To support testing at remote and pop-up testing sites, Brother’s RuggedJet 2 mobile printer is paired with software and mobile devices from leading lab providers. The ability to print 2-inch tube labels on the side of the car allows testing sites to improve testing accuracy. Brother printing and labeling solutions can help complete large numbers of tests quickly and help increase test throughput. In addition, additional efficiencies are achieved using Brother premium top-coated paper.
Non-Contact Temperature Measurement Stations – As more establishments open and businesses return to work, Brother’s TD 2 series printers play a key role in real-time temperature screening at kiosks. The solution uses advanced analytics to detect and record critical temperature and visitor data, providing contactless fever checks. Brother printers provide on-screen visual evidence to quickly clear personnel entry and display compliant, easy-to-view wearable labels. Innovative contactless solutions are being used to screen people entering health facilities, schools, workplaces and gyms, and to help keep workplaces and people safe.

In addition to COVID-19 tube labeling and vaccination receipt printing, Brother Mobile’s portfolio of award-winning printers are used in healthcare applications such as patient ID wristbands, patient record labels, sample collection, lab and slide labels, and Multiple types of wearable tags. They are also widely used for all types of security signage in medical facilities, as well as for remote printing of documents in home health settings.
