History

Precision Dynamics Corporation was co-founded in 1956 by Dr. Walter W. Mosher, a student in engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles who developed the first single-piece wristband for hospitals which did not require any parts or tools.[2]

PDC first developed into the prisoner management/law-enforcement and entertainment markets in the 1970s, with inmate ID and patron management wristbands, respectively.[3][4]

In November 2008, Precision Dynamics Corporation acquired TimeMed Labeling Systems, Inc., an American producer of specialty healthcare labels[5]

PDC has maintained ISO 9001:2008 certification for many of their products as following safety and other standards for medical devices.[6]

In June 2010, Precision Dynamics released Securline Bar Code Blood Band, an identification wristband system that automatically identifies a patient for blood transfusion, specimen collection, and tracking.[7]

Today, PDC is one of the leading wristband manufacturers with facilities and offices in Mexico, the USA, and in the EU.
