CENTRAK PROBE-BASED TEMPERATURE

SENSOR TAGRIT-735P

Hospitals have a critical need for wireless monitoring of environmental fluctuations. They

require reliable real time monitoring and alerting capabilities as well as comprehensive

records of sensor data for reporting and analysis purposes. CenTrak’s advanced

temperature sensing technology was developed to meet those needs.

The IT-735 is a probe-based temperature sensing tag that has the ability to monitor a wide

range of temperatures, from cryogenic (-200C) to room temperature (+50C), reliably and

accurately with customizable reporting rates down to 12 seconds at 0.75C accuracy. It is

available for use with three specific temperature range probes : -20C to +50C (ITA-781),

-100 to -20C (ITA-782), and -200 to -100C (ITA-783)

The IT¬735 Tag creates a cost effective way to improve patient care as well as provide

automated and detailed reports for any time period. In conjunction with the CenTrak RTLS

this single Tag can be used to track, locate, identify and ensure correct temperature levels

and can generate alerts via email/SMS when the temperature goes above or below set

parameters. The system can also provide temperature logs which eliminate human error

and the cost of manual temperature documentation.

Tags send temperature readings in intervals specified by the user (e.g., every one minute). The

battery powered tags will even continue to monitor temperature and send a local alert in the

event of a power outage. Tags provide an automated and accurate solution that improves

regulatory compliance and saves time so that staff can focus on patient care and safety.

About CenTrak Technology

CenTrak’s core RTLS differs from legacy technologies in its use of a patented combination of

second-generation infrared (Gen2IR™) and active RFID technology called DualTrak. Battery

powered Monitors transmit a unique room number using Gen2IR which is received by any tag

in that room. The tag communicates the room number and its own unique ID via RF to the

CenTrak Location Server using a hospital’s existing wired or Wi-Fi network, where it can be

accessed in real-time by hospital personnel and integrated with third party solution providers.

Like light, Gen2IR will not pass through walls and does not suffer from traditional infrared

line-of-sight limitations. Therefore, when a tag reads a room number, there are no errors.

This is certainty-based RTLS. Unlike estimation-based information, certainty-based location

data can be used by hospitals to make important improvements to process flow and

automate decision making. Most healthcare workflow improvements can only be realized

when the location data is certainty-based.

InTouch Care Operation Instruction Introduction InTouch Care is an Active RFID tracking system. The system is comprised of four basic elements: 1. TAGS – The TAGs are battery operated and are comprised of an RF Transceiver and a few peripheral components. The TAGs are small devices with about 1” X 2” foot print. They are typically attached to assets or people that need to be tracked. 2.

STAR Installation and Operation Installation Stars should be installed as high as possible. It is preferred to attach them to the ceiling upside down such that the antennas point downward. The antennas should be positioned at 90 degrees to each other and perpendicular to each other. Stars can be fed through one of two methods: 1. Power Over Ethernet (POE) or 2. External 3.3 volts power supply. The STAR must be connected to the LOCAL AREA Network (LAN) which must be connected to InTouch Server.

battery is inserted. Also enclose in a pack of 10 TAGs a special tool to open and close the battery door. Operation There are five buttons on the TAG: The three buttons on top are used to signal the server a push button. The meaning of each button is programmable by the user on the PC level. There are two buttons on the bottom. One is a theft detection button. When the TAG is affixed to an asset the button is pressed in.

Operation The Spider communicates with other InTouch Components wirelessly. It also provides maintenance information to the server, such as low battery indicator and the “health” of its RF receiver signals from the STAR. Maintenance Once the low battery indicator sends the server the indication of low battery the batteries will have about 1-2 month operational time. The batteries should be replaced as soon as possible after such messages are generated.
