TheAlertTag(IT‐753)hasthecapabilityofalertingwithaudiblesound.The
AlertTagisavailablewithastaffbadgeholderandcomesstandardwith1
programmablebutton.
ThistagwasdevelopedtoworkalongwiththeHygieneMonitoraspartofthe
CenTrak HandHygieneComplianceSystem,butcanalsobeusedforsolutions
suchasstafflocating,staffduresscallandworkflowoptimization.Whenused
forhandhygienecompliance,itworksasaproactiveremindertocaregiversof
non‐complianceevents;thesystemautomaticallycapturesaspecific
caregiver’sbadgeIDandentrytoandexitfrompatientcareareasalongwith
handhygieneevents.TheHygieneMonitorcommunicateseacheventtothe
networkandrecordseachcaregiver’scomplianceperformance.Allofthe
recordeddataisstoredonCenTrak’s localorhostedserverandcanbe
accessedbycompliancemanagementandreportingsolutions.Thebattery
poweredHygieneMonitorscanbemountedtoanydispenser,canister,pump,
orsinktotracktheirusage.
AboutCenTrak HybridRTLSTechnology™
TheCenTrak coreRTLSdiffersfromlegacyinitscombineduseofapatented
second‐generationinfrared(Gen2IR™)andactiveRFIDtechnology.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WiFi network,whereitcanbeaccessedinreal‐timeby
hospitalpersonnelandintegratedwiththirdpartysolutionproviders.
Similartolight,Gen2IRwillnotpassthroughwallsanddoesnotsufferfrom
traditionalinfraredlin‐of‐sightlimitations.Therefore,whenatagreadsaroom
number,therearenoerrors.Thisiscertainty‐bas
ed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.
*IT‐753isforusewiththeCenTrak 2.0system.OrderIT‐751forusewiththe1.0
