16 Smart Sense Infant Transmitter (0510-1093-C) - User Guide
Check Band
Initially, when the Smart Sense banding material on a Smart Sense infant transmitter is
removed, tampered with or comes off of the infant's extremity, a Check Band 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. From the Client computer, click anywhere in the Check Band Alarm Message
Box to access the Event Information window.
3. Select one of the following options:
a. Start Adjust—this option opens the Adjust confirmation window. Click
Confirm to start the Adjust for this patient and follow the Adjust procedure.
b. Close—this option closes the dialog window but does not clear the alarm.
The Check Band alarm will persist until it is addressed. To address the Check
Band you must perform an Adjust within the Event Information window or
an Adjust or a Discharge from the Function/Login menu.
NOTE: If Band Off Escalation is enabled, the Check Band alarm will escalate
to a red Band Off alarm if it is not addressed (by requesting an Adjust or a
Discharge).
