5. Characteristics and applications

MYSPHERA Tag (TAGBS0203) is a fundamental part among MYSPHERA location system.
This device transmits an identification frame which includes an Organizationally Unique
Identifier (OUI) every few seconds (3 seconds by default). This period can be modified upon
request for longer battery life when 3 seconds location precision is not required.

Any other device in MYSPHERA family is capable of receiving and processing identification
frames, and either identify a certain Tag when approached inside a pre-determined range, or
send information about its position to MYSPHERA Location Platform server which will calculate
its location inside a monitored area.

Thanks to the ultra-low-power technology used in the design of MYSPHERA Tracking Sensor,
its CR2354 coin battery life reaches values higher than 4 years, with a location period of 10
seconds.

MYSPHERA Tag is prepared to fit the most common hospitalary plastic identification bands
for patients. It also can be stuck to any asset assuring fixation during the whole life of the tag.

It meets the IP-67 normative, guaranteeing 1 meter immersion up to 30 minutes without internal
leakages. It allows the user to wear the device while washing hands or taking a shower without
further consequences. This is also important during the cleaning procedure, where water or
common disinfectants can be used to keep the Tag as clean as possible.

Two versions of the Tag are available: with or without button. The button may be used for
emitting several alerts to the system. Both versions have 3 LED indicators (green, yellow, red)
to give notifications to the user.

MYSPHERA Tag can be also used to locate assets (furniture, other devices…). This is done
by attaching the Tag to the asset by using a fixing bracket that allows replacing the sensor
when the battery is low. The Tag is able to detect automatically if it is set or removed from the
bracket.

FEATURES

 Personal and asset location.
 Battery life:

o Up to 1 year at high responsiveness location.
o Up to 4 years at low responsiveness location.

 User interface including a press button with configurable function and LEDs to indicate

user-defined states such as: battery low, in use, identify…

6. Tag assignment

A specific Tag can be added to the system, in order to locate its position, by assigning it to a
patient or asset. This procedure can be done using several applications: the MYSPHERA
software (MYHOSPITAL), the hospital’s own HIS and a specific software for assets logistics
(by an integration with MYHOSPITAL).

To add a new Tag from the assignment feature of the specific software, select the person or
asset to locate and then read the tag using a MYSPHERA Reader.

Figure 2 MYSPHERA Reader states.

Once the assignment is completed, the system starts tracking the Tag, storing every position
of the person or asset.

For assets or professional (physician, nurses…) tags, they are assigned only once until the
end of the battery life, when the Tag shall be replaced.

For patient tags, they are assigned to the person until the moment it leaves the hospital, when
the device shall be freed in the application and cleaned to be ready for a new user.

Depending on the desired security level, the Tag may only be freed by reading it with the
Reader in the application.

7. Tag use for assets

MYSPHERA Tags are designed to be attached to assets by using a fixing bracket. Although
due to the different forms of every asset and the diversity of the surfaces and materials, as well
as the different security measures required in every scenario, the procedure to attach the
device may vary from one asset to another.

In the pictures below, there are some examples of installations in different assets:

10. Cleaning and disinfecting

These general cleaning instructions are indicated for active tags of the TSB-SPHERAhospital
solution. It is important that you clean the tags according to the following procedures.

Disinfection and sterilization are essential for ensuring that medical and surgical instruments
do not transmit infectious pathogens to patients. Because sterilization of all patient-care items
is not necessary, health-care policies must identify, primarily on the basis of the items' intended
use, whether cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization is indicated.

Disinfection describes a process that eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms,
except bacterial spores, on inanimate objects. In health-care settings, objects usually are
disinfected by liquid chemicals or wet pasteurization. Each of the various factors that affect the
efficacy of disinfection can nullify or limit the efficacy of the process.

Cleaning is the removal of visible soil (e.g., organic and inorganic material) from objects and
surfaces and normally is accomplished manually or mechanically using water with detergents
or enzymatic products. Thorough cleaning is essential before high-level disinfection and
sterilization because inorganic and organic materials that remain on the surfaces of
instruments interfere with the effectiveness of these processes. Decontamination removes
pathogenic microorganisms from objects so they are safe to handle, use, or discard.

The methods followed for TSB-SPHERAhospital tags are similar to the one used to disinfect
oral and rectal thermometers, hospital pagers, scissors, stethoscopes,…

The tag fulfills IP-67 normative, allowing be disinfected by liquids and fluids. IP67 signifies
protection against the effects of immersion from 15 cm to 1 m for 30 min without water ingress.
The tag can be worn permanently by the patient during hospitalization, even getting shower or
any washing activities.

10.1. Chemical solutions

Disinfection is a process by which vegetative growing forms of pathogenic organisms are killed.
Four types of chemical solutions are recommended to be used during disinfection, depending

of the kind of action: quick or medium/slow action

Before equipment is to be disinfected or sterilized, it should be thoroughly cleaned to remove
any visible dirt or secretions. This involves washing with water and detergent (soap). Protective
clothing (an apron, gloves and a facemask) should be worn.

Each tag shall be wiped with chemical disinfectant solutions described on the table above. In
case of glutaraldehyde-based disinfectant dilution, the tag shall be wiped by immersion several
minutes.

Glutaraldehyde is a high-level disinfectant most frequently used as a disinfectant for heat­sensitive equipment such as dialysis instruments, surgical instruments, suction bottles,
bronchoscopes, endoscopes, and ear, nose, and throat instruments. Glutaraldehyde is also
used as a tissue fixative in histology and pathology laboratories and as a hardening agent in
the development of x-rays. Glutaraldehyde products are marketed under a variety of brand
names and are available in a variety of concentrations (solutions range in concentration from
2 – 3.4%), with and without surfactants.

Disinfect tags with an EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) - registered hospital
disinfectant using the label's safety precautions and use directions. Most EPA-registered
hospital disinfectants have a label contact time of 10 minutes. However, multiple scientific
studies have demonstrated the efficacy of hospital disinfectants against pathogens with a
contact time of at least 1 minute.

1. Remove the band or fixing bracket of the Tag.

2. Clean the tag (both sides) to remove any visible dirt or secretions. This involves washing
with water and detergent (soap). It is recommended to use a brush to enhance cleaning.

3. Wipe the tag with chemical disinfectant products as described in the table above

following the instructions of the product label.

10.2. The process

Disinfect any tag after using it on a patient who is on contact precautions before using this
equipment on another patient.
