1.0 Introduction to the System
The Patient Safeguard System (PSS) was designed to help Healthcare Workers (HCW) protect their patients from
the unintentional spread of pathogens. This is achieved by providing a tool to remind HCWs to perform hand
hygiene when the opportunities are presented. Hand hygiene opportunities, in a patient care environment, are
defined as instances when hand hygiene should be performed to reduce or eliminate a patient’s exposure to
harmful or even deadly pathogens carried on the HCW’s hands. These patient care hand hygiene opportunities
are described in detail by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) “Your 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene”.
PSS software provides HCWs with real-time feedback when hand hygiene opportunities occur and will also
provide a warning when hand hygiene opportunities are missed or ignored. The real-time data can be viewed at a
designated computer terminal or a tablet running the PSS application software. PSS may also be configured to
monitor and assess the hand hygiene performance of HCWs on either a group or individual basis. By assessing
how well a HCW recognizes and engages in hand hygiene opportunities, the HCW will receive feedback that lets
them know how well they’re doing. This feedback can then be used to establish performance benchmarks and
goals. HCW performance can then be tracked over time, measured against these benchmarks and goals to
assess overall compliance to identify specific areas where improvement is needed. Ultimately, the purpose of
PSS is to provide HCWs with a tool that allows them to improve upon, and then maintain, high levels of hand
hygiene performance, thus providing a safer environment for their patients and themselves.
2.0 System Components
PSS consists of 4 basic components; a HCW badge, a soap/sanitizer dispenser beacon, a patient bed beacon
and a patient bed antenna. These components work together to form a system that will allert HCWs when hand
hygiene needs to occur or alarm them when hand hygiene failed to occur.

2.1 Healthcare Worker (HWC) Badge
The badge is worn by HCWs, such as doctors and nurses, however, healthcare facilities may choose to
assign badges to therapists, visitors, students or any persons with patient contact. It is through the badge that
the HCW is made aware, in real-time, of their hand hygiene status. The badge achieves this by providing
both visual and audible status alerts. The badge’s visual alerts are provided by three visual indicator LED's
located just behind the badge’s clear window (see Figure 1). Only one visual indicator will flash at a time ,
with a flash occuring once every 1.5 seconds.
