Smart Sense Infant Transmitter (0510-1093-C) - User Guide 3
Chapter 1
The Smart Sense Transmitter
Introduction
When using an Smart Sense transmitter, the transmitter is placed on the ankle of an
infant. If the transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone, for example if a child is
being abducted, an alarm sounds at the exit as well as at a Central Server and its
network of Client computers. The Central Server and Client computer(s) also
identify which infant transmitter sounded the alarm and the exit where the alarm
occurred.
The 9450 System provides further security by alerting staff if a transmitter’s special
banding material is removed, tampered with or cut. If your system is configured for
Supervision, and the transmitter fails to regularly communicate to the system, a No Signal
alarm will post in the Event List of the computer.
For more information about the computer, Band Off alarms or No Signal alarms,
refer to Chapter 2, Alarms and Troubleshooting or see your system’s Software User
Guide.
When using the Smart Sense transmitter in conjunction with a Mother transmitter, a
Smart Sense transmitter is placed on the ankle or the wrist of an infant and a
Mother transmitter is placed on the wrist of a new mother. For more information
regarding the Mother transmitter refer to the Mother/Baby Match Mother
Transmitter User Guide (PN 0510-1020).
WARNING: The 9450 System Mother/Baby Match feature
option is designed and intended to work in conjunction with a
facility’s overall infant identification program, including
identification bands and reasonable operating policies and
procedures. The 9450 System Mother/Baby Match feature
option, by itself, cannot prevent the mismatch, abduction or
elopement of patients.
