Does the curvature of the wrist interfere with the scanning of the bar code?
It can, depending on the bar code symbology used. Too many characters contained within the bar code causes the bar code to be too long and the curvature of the wrist will interfere with the scanning. On infant or pediatric wrists, a form of 2 dimensional bar code, (Aztec) is recommended because information can be stacked in a small space and easily scanned by a dual (linear and 2 dimensional reader).
