The Baby Check Transmitter
Introduction
The Baby Check transmitter is used in conjunction with the Infant
transmitter. The Infant transmitter is placed on the ankle of an infant. The
Baby Check transmitter, although portable, is placed in its wall mount
cradle in the hallway just near the door to the mother's assigned room.
Whenever someone needs to verify that the infant is being returned to the
correct mother, one just need to bring the Baby Check transmitter in
proximity to the Infant transmitter and one button push will indicate a
correct match. The Baby Check transmitter will flash green to indicate
that the Infant and Baby Check is a match. If a Match does not exist
between the Baby Check transmitter and the Infant transmitter the Baby
Check transmitter will flash red.
CAUTION: The radio frequency (RF) characteristics of
certain metal crib carts may interfere or block the Infant
transmitter’s signal during transport, preventing detection by
the system’s Exit Receiver or the Baby Check transmitter.
WARNING: The 9450 System Baby Check 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 Baby Check Match feature
option, by itself, cannot prevent the mismatch, abduction or
elopement of patients.
