In case of emergency (ICE) is a program that enables first responders, such as paramedics, firefighters, and police officers, to identify victims and contact their next of kin to obtain important medical information. Displayed on PolarTags ID tags, ICE is an internationally recognized acronym that enables paramedics to quickly identify the ID system and retrieve the riders ID.

Originally the ICE designation was used to identify emergency numbers stored on a mobile phone, the designation is recognised by paramedics & medical personnel worldwide and is being more widely used and incorporated into a number of safety products.

Make sure the person whose name and number you are giving has agreed to be your ICE partner

Make sure your ICE partner knows about any medical conditions that could affect your emergency treatment - for example allergies or current medication

Make sure if you are Under 18, your ICE partner is either your mother or father or an immediate member of your family authorised to make decisions on your behalf - for example if you need a life or death operation
