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.

3.0 Soap/Sanitizer Dispenser Beacon

The soap/sanitizer dispenser beacon is installed next to a soap/sanitizer dispenser. In order for it to communicate
with the dispenser, it is attached to the dispenser via a flat ribbon cable. The dispenser beacon will create an
invisible “bubble” approximately 36 inches around the dispenser when the dispenser is activated. When a HCW
activates the dispenser and the HCW’s badge is within the bubble, the badge will communicate with the dispenser
beacon. The dispenser beacon will then reply to the badge and the badge will immediately change its hand
hygiene state to sanitary (green flashing LED). If the badge is already in the sanitary state, it will remain in the
sanitary state.

The dispenser beacon provides both audio and visual alerts to indicate that it has successfully communicated with
a HCW’s badge. Upon successful communication, the status LED will flash green one time followed by a two
tone chime (see Figure 3).

3.1 Adjusting the Soap/Sanitizer Dispenser Beacon Communication Range

The dispenser beacon range of communication is adjusted during installation to maximize communication
with the Healthcare Worker (HCW) badge. To adjust the communication range, remove the battery cover
located on the front of the beacon using a #2 Phillips screwdriver (see Figure 3). Note: the battery cover has a
retaining ring to prevent the screw from being detached. After the cover has been removed, the beacon
communication range is adjusted by repeatedly pushing either the “+” increment or the “–“ decrement range
buttons (see Figure 4) to achieve the desired range. The total adjustable range of each beacon is 1 to 32
increments between the lowest and the highest setting. Each push of either the “+” or “–“ button will produce
an audible beep indicating one increment up or down. When the lowest or the highest setting is reached, four
audible beeps will be heard. To reset a beacon’s range back to the factory default setting, push and hold both
the “+” and the “–“ buttons down, at the same time, until four audible beeps are heard. The factory default
range setting for the dispenser beacon is 31. Replace the battery cover when the adju stment is complete.

There may be circumstances which require a beacon’s range to be adjusted, after the initial installation, to
properly communicate with a badge. Examples of why dispenser beacon’s range may need to be adjusted
are explained below.

Case for Dispenser Beacon Range Adjustment
In tight quarters, there may be two or more HCWs standing in close proximity to a dispenser. If one of the

HCWs activate the dispenser, the dispenser beacon may communicate with the incorrect HCW badge. Thus,
when the intended HCW approaches a patient bed, the system will record that the intended HCW did not
sanitize/wash their hands. The badge status LED will then be set to the red warning state even though the
intended HCW did actually sanitize/wash. The dispenser beacon can be adjusted to reduced the
communication range between the dispenser beacon and the HCW’s badge. This is accomplished by
removing the beacon’s battery cover and pressing the “–“ button to shorten the range. Continue pressing the
“-“ button until the desired range and thus proper communication is achieved.

4.0 How the System Works

When a Healthcare Worker (HCW) begins their shift, they will attach an assigned badge to their clothing in a
location above the waist that is clearly visible to HCW as well as others. The badge will be dormant with no
blinking LED visible. This is normal because the badge will go into a “sleep” state to conserve battery power
when not in use for a period of 30 minutes or more.

The first thing the HCW will do, after attaching their badge, is wash or sanitize their hands. The dispenser beacon
attached to the soap/sanitizer dispenser will communicate with the badge when the dispenser is activated. Even
though the badge is in a sleep state, it is always listening and the dispenser beacon’s communication will wake it
up. The badge will produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third
tones. This indicates successful communications between the badge and the dispenser beacon. The badge will
then be set to the sanitary or clean state with the green LED blinking about once every 1.5 seconds. The HCW is
now ready to begin their normal work routine.

When the badge is set to the sanitary state, the badge starts an internal timer. If there is no interaction between
the HCW and a dispenser or patient bed, the timer will continue to increment. If the timer reaches 20 minutes, the
badge will automatically change from the sanitary state to the cautionary state. When this transition occurs, the
badge will produce 2 quick beep tones with both having the same pitch. This indicates to the HCW that the badge
has automatically changed state. The badge’s yellow LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds. The
cautionary state does not imply a violation of hand hygiene protocol. In this case, it is indicating to the HCW and
anyone else able to see the badge’s yellow LED that the HCW has not washed or sanitized their hands for at
least 20 minutes and that they may not approach a patient until doing so.

If the HCW does approach a patient while in the cautionary state, this event will be considered a violation of hand
hygiene protocol and the badge will change from the cautionary state to the warning state. The badge will
produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third tones. This indicates
successful communications between the badge and the bed beacon located within the patient zone. The badge’s
red LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds. Immediately after changing to the warning state, the badge
will produce a rapid burst of 4 tones with each having a different pitch. This will be repeated 4 more times over
the next 20 seconds and will indicate to the HCW that they must wash/sanitize their hands immediately.

If the HCW approaches a patient while in the sanitary state, the badge will change to the cautionary state. The
badge will produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third tones. This
indicates successful communications between the badge and the bed beacon located within the patient zone.
The badge’s yellow LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds. The cautionary state does not imply a
violation of hand hygiene protocol. In this case, it is indicating to the HCW and anyone else able to see the
badge’s yellow LED that the HCW is currently in contact with a patient or has had contact with a patient within the
last 5 minutes.

While the HCW is inside the patient zone, their badge will remain in the cautionary state. When the HCW leaves
the patient zone, the badge starts an internal timer. If there is no interaction between the HCW and a dispenser,
after leaving the patient zone, the timer will continue to increment. If the timer reaches 5 minutes, the badge will
automatically change from the cautionary state to the warning state. When this transition occurs, the badge will
produce 2 quick beep tones with both having the same pitch. This indicates to the HCW that the badge has
automatically changed state. Immediately after changing to the warning state, the badge will produce a rapid
burst of 4 tones with each having a different pitch. This will be repeated 4 more times over the next 20 seconds
and will indicate to the HCW that they must wash/sanitize their hands immediately.

A HCW may contact a patient, leave the patient zone briefly and then re-contact the same patient without
washing/sanitizing their hands. However, the HCW may not re-contact the patient without first using a
soap/sanitizer dispenser if they are outside of the patient zone for more than 1 minute. As long as the HCW
remains inside the patient zone, their badge will remain in the cautionary state. Whe n the HCW leaves the patient
zone, the badge starts an internal timer. If there is no interaction between the HCW and a dispenser, after leaving
the patient zone, the timer will continue to increment. If the HCW then reenters the patient zone and the internal
timer has not reached 1 minute, the badge will remain in the cautionary state and the internal timer will be reset.
However, if the HCW reenters the patient zone and the internal timer has reached or passed 1 minute, the badge

will change to the warning state. The badge will produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in
pitch than the first or third tones. This indicates successful communications between the badge and the bed
beacon located within the patient zone. The badge’s red LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds.
Immediately after changing to the warning state, the badge will produce a rapid burst of 4 tones with each having
a different pitch. This will be repeated 4 more times over the next 20 seconds and will indicate to the HCW that
they must wash/sanitize their hands immediately.

A HCW may not go from one patient zone to another without washing/sanitizing in-between. While a HCW is in a
patient zone, their badge will be in the cautionary state. When they leave the patient zone, their badge will remain
in the cautionary state for up to 5 minutes beyond which time their badge will automatically change to the warning
state or until they wash/sanitize at which time their badge will then change to the sanitary state. If the HCW
leaves a patient zone and then enters a different patient zone without first interacting with a soap/sanitizer
dispenser, the badge will change from the cautionary state to the warning state. The badge will produce 3 quick
beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third tones. This indicates successful
communications between the badge and the bed beacon located within the patient zone. The badge’s red LED
will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds. Immediately after changing to the warning state, the badge will
produce a rapid burst of 4 tones with each having a different pitch. This will be repeated 4 more times over the
next 20 seconds and will indicate to the HCW that they must wash/sanitize their hands immediately.

5.0 Installing the System

5.1 Soap/Sanitizer Dispenser Beacon Installation

The soap/sanitizer dispenser beacon will be mounted on the wall next to the soap/sanitizer dispenser. It may
be mounted on the left or right side of the dispenser but never below the dispenser. The dispenser beacon
must know when the dispenser has been activated by the HCWs. For this reason, the dispenser beacon is
physically connected to the dispenser via a 6 wire ribbon cable. This needs to be taken into consideration
when selecting a mounting location for the dispenser beacon.

The dispenser beacon is to be powered by two alkaline AA-cell batteries or optionally by an UltraClenz
DSP2000 ProClenz series touch-free dispenser if available at the installation site.

Mount Using Tape

Double sided tape may be used to mount the dispenser beacon to a wall. A minimum of a single strip, at
least 3 inches long, should be used.

To insure the best adhesion of the tape, make sure that the mounting surface of both the dispenser beacon
and the wall are clean and free of dirt and oil. A soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol will work well to
clean both surfaces. Most tape adhesives require about 24 hours of curing. Avoid installing batteries into
the dispenser beacon until the tape’s adhesive has had a chance to cure. Otherwise, the extra weight may
cause the dispenser beacon to detach from the surface of the wall.

Mount Using Screws

The rear surface of the dispenser beacon has two keyhole shaped openings that are 4

The keyhole openings will accept #6 or #8 screws and it is advisable to use properly sized wall anchors.
Using a correctly sized drill bit, drill a hole in the wall for each mounting screw at the locations marked. Insert
the wall anchors into the wall and then install the screws. Both screws will need a gap between the base of
the screw’s head and the surface of the wall. Start with about 1/8 of an inch.

Attach the dispenser beacon to the wall by lining up the large portion of the keyhole openings with the
mounting screw heads and push the bed beacon flush against the wall. Then, gently slide the bed beacon
left until the smaller portion of the keyhole openings make contact with the shaft of both mounting screws.
The dispenser beacon may slide to the left as much as ½ inch so take this into consideration when selecting
a mounting location especially if mounting on the right side of the dispenser.

If the dispenser beacon is not in tight contact with the wall, remove the dispenser beacon and tighten both
mounting screws a little more to reduce the gap between the screw’s head and the surface of the wall.
