Alarming Band Receivers
Alarming Band Receivers are placed strategically throughout the monitoring area to receive signals from the
alarming band transmitters worn by patients. If the Cut Band feature is enabled, the system provides an alert if the
banding material that holds the transmitter to the patient is tampered with, cut, or opened without authorization.
Multiple receivers are used to ensure reception of the signal if there is an effort made to shield the transmitter
during abduction or elopement attempts. For more information, see the Alarming Band Receiver Installation
Guide.
Alarming Band Zone
An Alarming Band Zone is the area within range of an Alarming Band Receiver, several of which are mounted
above the ceiling tiles of a facility. If a Cut Band alarm is triggered in an Alarming Band Zone, an alarm is sounded
on all Client computers assigned to monitor the transmitter’s 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 Client
computer(s). Cut Band alarms are also posted on remote notification devices.
Transmitters
A transmitter is a device that periodically transmits a signal containing data to uniquely identify it from other
transmitters. Some transmitters are also capable of transmitting information to identify that the band has been
cut.
Wander Management Transmitter
A Wander Management transmitter is a wireless, mobile transmitter that can be worn around the wrist or ankle.
An event is reported in the Event List when a patient is near a monitored door or attempts to leave an Exit Zone.
NOTE: The Mother/Infant function requires applicable Alarming Band Receivers.
