Daily Transmitter Testing
Each day, the aide responsible for the care of the infants utilizing the Secure Care System, must ensure that the ankle
transmitter is in place. This must be done at each shift change. Documentation of this check should be made by the nurse's
aide. This should be recorded on the aide's daily checklist for the particular infant. Each transmitter should be tested daily
to ensure working properly. Date imprinted transmitters should be checked for expiration date at this time. The #A07300943
Tester is available to purchase for fast, easy testing of all transmitters.
A documented test of each ankle transmitter at the facility must be made each day. This testing should also include those
transmitters not currently in use. The procedure involves using the Transmitter Tester and/or the Exit Panel on the wall by
the exit, and documenting the performance of the transmitter.
Attached is a daily transmitter testing log, which you may find useful. (Section 7)
Applying the Transmitter to the Infant
1. Remove the Transmitter from the Transmitter Storage Box.
2. Cut the needed length of strap from the strap reel (cut the strap at a 45 degree angle as to better feed the strap through
the transmitter latching mechanism).

3. Admit the infant’s information into the software with their name, room number, and any other identification
information that may be pertinent.
4. Begin feeding the strap up through the transmitter on one side ensuring the silver conductive side of the strap is
facing the transmitter label. Only go to the first notch leaving enough strap to hold onto (See Figure 1.3). Repeat this
step for the other side of the transmitter ensuring the loop is large enough to slide over the infant’s ankle.
