Cut Band
When the banding material on a patient's alarming band transmitter is cut, tampered with or
opened without authorization (which includes opening the transmitter when a timed event
has expired), an alarm is sounded on the computer configured to monitor the unit, a
message is displayed in the Event List, and the location of the Alarming Band Receiver that
detected the event is indicated on the map on the computer(s).
How to Respond
1. Always follow your facility’s policies/procedures to ensure patient safety and
secure the area.
2. Verify transmitter is applied correctly and without signs of damage to banding
material or transmitter piercing contacts. Ensure that both clamps are securely
fastened with banding material in place on both sides.
3. Clear alarm at Client computer.
a. Click anywhere in the Cut Band alarm message box.
b. Select event cause from Event Information window.
c. If necessary, use your access card or enter your login/password.
d. Select OK or ENTER.
4. Proceed to any doors that reported Perimeter alarms associated with the Cut
Band. Reset each door with the four-digit security code or use your card reader
access card (if applicable). Cut Band alarms must be cleared at the computer
before you reset the doors.
NOTE: You must ensure transmitter is banded properly following every Cut
Band alarm. If you are experiencing multiple Cut Band alarms for a particular
transmitter in use, request and perform an Adjust for the transmitter.
