PREFACE
Overview
The SAFE PLACE transmitters are
components of the 9450 System which
monitors doors, elevators, hallways, and
stairwells to assist staff in monitoring patients
in a facility.
The various transmitters and devices of the
system alerts staff if a transmitter’s banding
material is tampered with, cut, or opened
without authorization (referred to as Cut Band
for Infant and Emergency Department
systems only), or if monitored devices in the
system are not functioning properly. An alarm
also sounds if a transmitter is detected in an
Exit Alarm Zone. If the system fails to detect
a transmitter within its monitored area, a No
Signal/Check Transmitter alarm is issued.
Depending upon which equipment you have
installed, the 9450 System can automatically
lock doors and deactivate elevators.
In addition, if the system in your facility
includes computers, an alarm also sounds at
a Central Server and its network of Client
computers. The computer software will
identify which patient sounded the alarm and
the exit where the alarm occurred.
WARNING: The 9450 System is designed
and intended to work in conjunction with a
facility’s overall patient security program,
including reasonable operating policies and
procedures. The 9450 System, by itself,
cannot prevent abductions or the elopement
of patients.
