Cleaning the Transmitter
Secure Care recommends transmitters are cleaned after each use. To properly clean the transmitter use lint free IPA (Isopropyl
Alcohol) wipes. With the transmitter removed from the infant, wipe the transmitter on all sides with the IPA wipe. We
recommend using the MediChoice brand medium sized alcohol wipes (See Figure 2.1). Using larger wipes could cause false
alarms. Ensure there are no lint fibers attached to the gold pins on the transmitter.
To clean the latching mechanism of the strap:
1. Fold the prep pad in half-length wise and insert upward in the same direction as the strap was inserted.
2. Grab the pad on both ends and slide it back and forth along the width of the latching mechanism (See Figure 2.2).
3. Once clean place in the containment box.
NOTE: ALWAYS STORE TRANSMITTERS IN THE TRANSMITTER
CONTAINMENT WHEN NOT BEING USED ON RESIDENTS
Alarm Procedures
1. If Exit System is in alarm:
• Identify the location of the alarm shown on the nurse station display or computer monitor.
• Follow the hospital Policy and Procedure.
2. If one or more cutband zones are in alarm with an infant’s name and room number:
• Go to the area of the alarm condition and locate the baby.
• Follow the hospital Policy and Procedures.
3. If the transmitter has not been cut off the infant or the strap looks intact:
• Verify that the transmitter strap is not too tight on the infant
• Excess strap has been secured to transmitter case with tape.
4. If the transmitter passes the visual test and the system is still reporting a cutband alarm:
• Remove the transmitter by cutting the strap.
• Replace the strap and apply the transmitter to the infant.
• Verify that the alarm has been silenced.
