Medical Alert Bracelets for Severe Allergies
(QR Medical ID)

One scan shows your allergens, anaphylaxis plan and emergency contacts—so responders know what to avoid and how to help fast.

Why a medical alert matters for anaphylaxis​

Allergic reactions can escalate quickly. When breathing tightens, hives spread, or dizziness hits, there’s no time to explain your history. A medical alert bracelet or necklace signals “this person has a serious allergy,” and with QR Medical ID it goes further: a scan opens your exact allergens, EpiPen/Anapen details, known triggers (foods, medications, stings), and who to call. In the chaos of an emergency—at a café, playground or sports field—clear information reduces delays and mistakes.

What to include in your QR Medical ID profile

  • Keep details crisp and practical for first responders, teachers and carers:

  • Allergens: e.g., peanuts, tree nuts (specify), shellfish, eggs, milk, sesame, stings (bee/wasp), antibiotics (which ones).

  • Severity & history: anaphylaxis history, last reaction date, typical early signs.

  • Adrenaline device: EpiPen / Anapen (adult/junior), dose and where it’s kept (bag pocket, belt case).

  • Action plan summary: “Give adrenaline for breathing/swelling; call 000; lay flat (or left side if pregnant).”

  • Other meds: antihistamine, asthma puffers (brands/doses).

  • Co-conditions: asthma, mast cell activation, FPIES, eczema.

  • Contacts & clinicians: parent/carer numbers, GP, allergy specialist.

  • Environment notes: “Allergen-safe lunchbox only”, “Carry auto-injector at all times”.

  • Update the profile when your plan changes or the device expires—you control it.
     

  • Which product is best for allergies?

  • Medical alert bracelet: Most visible; silicone straps suit sport and swimming; stainless options for daily wear.

  • Medical alert necklace: Easy to spot over uniforms/clothes; good for older kids/teens who dislike wrist bands.

  • Tip for parents & schools: Use a bracelet or necklace plus a QR wallet card in the school bag. Add a sticker to the EpiPen/Anapen case with “Scan for my allergy plan”.
