Introduction

The Hugs

is part of the Hugs infant pro-

tection system. The tag is attached to the

infant using a tamper-proof strap. From

the moment of attachment, the infant is

automatically enrolled in the system, and

protected against abduction.

The Hugs tag incorporates a special sensor

to detect if the strap is cut. In addition,

attempting to remove the infant without

authorization from the protected area will

immediately cause an alarm.

With optional with BabySense

™ functional-

ity, the Hugs tag can also detect when it is

not securely attached to the infant.

The Hugs tag may also be used with the

optional Kisses

mother/infant matching

component of the Hugs system to conﬁ rm

that the correct infant is matched with the

correct mother. The Hugs tag automati-

cally emits an audible beep to indicate an

incorrect match.

The Hugs tag is reusable, and does not

interfere with other hospital or personal

medical equipment.

The patented asymmetrical shape of the tag

ensures that it does not pinch or irritate the

baby’s skin, and also helps prevent it from

being kicked off, while still allowing the

ankle joint to move freely.

The tag is water proof which allows bathing

of the infant. It is also resistant to soiling

and UV light.

Note: The tag is not sterilized at the fac-

tory. You may wish to clean the tag prior

to ﬁ rst use.

Battery Status Information

The Hugs system software automatically

displays a Low Battery notiﬁ cation if the

Hugs tag enters a low battery state during

use. However, depending on conditions, the

battery may expire between uses.

If you do not hear the battery status chime

(two short beeps) during tag attachment,

immediately dispose of the tag and attach

a new tag to the infant.

The front of the Hugs tag shows the war-

ranty expiration date. The tag may have

many months of use after this date, but

you should exercise caution when using a

tag out of warranty. Always listen for the

battery status chime, and check that the

tag has Auto Admitted in the Hugs system

software.
