The system will log the following incident details:
• Alarm type (tag removal or egress alarm)
• Infant name
• Tag number
• Time
• ID of staff member accepting the alarm
• Staff member notes on alarm incident
2.4. “Nurse Saver” and “Loitering” Features
If the system is installed with the “Nurse Saver” feature, Tags detected at egress points which are se-
cured will not set off nuisance alarms. A Tag detected near a door that is closed will result in the floor
button on the computer screen turning yellow (pre-alarm), and the icon associated with that door also
turning yellow. If a bypass keypad is installed at the door, it will flash a light and emit periodic “beeps”
to indicate the presence of the Tag. This event is logged into the computer as “Tag detected at location
xxx”, but will not create an alarm condition. An alarm is initiated if the door was to be opened while
the Tag was still present at the door. For this feature, the door has to be equipped with a magnetic
switch to sense whether it is in the closed or open position.
If the tag remains at the door for a period of one minute or more, an egress alarm will be initiated and
the button on the screen and the icon will turn to red. This is the “Loitering” feature.
The Halo system is usually set up to create multiple detections of an alarm for security purposes.
When multiple system devices see the same tag in alarm, the system will condense this into one
incident for the staff member to accept.
When multiple alarms occur, the staff member much accept each alarm before the system will
clear the alarms. This normally means more that one infant tag alarmed simultaneously.
All alarms are maintained in a log for supervisor review.
