Field Operations Policy and Procedures <br />2.5 Changes to Incorrect/Incomplete White Identification Band <br />Policy. Incorrect/incomplete information on a decedent's white identification band must be <br />corrected and may involve replacing the white identification band to ensure all information is <br />legible with no cross -outs, correction fluid or write -overs. Two Company representatives must be <br />present when correcting or replacing and attaching a white identification band to a decedent. <br />Information such as the middle initial or middle name may be written on the white identification <br />band as long as it can be added legibly. <br />Procedure. As soon as it is determined that any information on the white identification band is <br />incorrect or incomplete: <br />The Company representative who identifies the discrepancy immediately stops the <br />process and researches the inconsistencies. This may include contacting the funeral <br />home, removal service, next-of-kin or place of death to verify the identification and <br />information of the decedent. <br />2. Once the discrepancies have been thoroughly researched and resolved, the Company <br />representative fills out the Incorrect/Incomplete Identification Band Form (FIN-CS005) <br />noting the confirmed accurate information. <br />3. Two Company representatives correct the existing white identification band (or replaces <br />and attach a new white identification band) with the confirmed accurate information (see <br />White Identification Band) and sign the Incorrect/Incomplete Identification Band Form <br />(FIN-CS005). <br />4. Once the replacement white identification band is placed on the decedent, remove the <br />incorrect/incomplete white identification band and dispose of it as biohazardous waste. <br />Note: The Incorrect/Incomplete Identification Band Form (FIN-CS005) must <br />accompany the decedent along with the Chain of Custody and Identification <br />Confirmation Form (FIN-CS004) throughout the handling process up to final disposition <br />(see Changes to Incorrect/Incomplete Information on Forms). <br />Example of incorrectly changed bands: <br />Version 2.1 Page 6 of 70 Revised: 07/10/2015 <br />Document Owner: Operations Support © 2015 SCI Funeral & Cemetery Purchasing Cooperative, Inc. <br />
