Frequently Asked Questions

Where did IDAIDE come from?

IDAIDE originally was advertised as Browel's Manufacturing Ltd. For over 30 years, we have specialized in making high quality medical ID bracelets and necklaces.

What are the benefits of wearing a medical ID?

Emergency medical ID tags contain medical information that speaks for you when you might be unable to speak for yourself. Emergency responders and medical staff are trained to look on the left wrist or around the neck for a medical ID. A brief description of vital medical facts engraved on your medical ID ensures appropriate and timely medical care. In short, IDAIDE Emergency Medical Alert Systems save lives!

Because of their quality, our stainless steel bracelets and necklaces have a lifetime warranty. If you break it or wear it out, we will repair or replace it for free. You will pay a small shipping fee. Bracelets or necklaces made of precious metals are non-returnable if they have been engraved.
