not bring “PRODUCT” into the MR system area and follow your facilities
policies to classify and label “PRODUCT” as MR Unsafe.
CAUTION
DISPOSAL—At the end of their service life the products described in this
manual, as well as accessories (i.e. lithium batteries, banding material,
disposable pads, etc.), must be disposed of in compliance with all applicable
federal, state and local guidelines regulating the disposal of products containing
potential environmental contaminants. Dispose of the packaging material by
observing the applicable waste control regulations.
Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Ind ustry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain
de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité
nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
The term “IC” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry
Canada technical specifications were met.

Preface
Overview
This guide provides important information about the Smart Sense transmitter, a component
of the 9450 System. It provides detailed instructions about using the transmitter as well as
specific requirements.
9450 System
The 9450 System monitors doors, elevators, hallways, and stairwells, to assist staff in
monitoring patients and assets in a facility. The various transmitters and devices of the
system alerts staff if a transmitter’s banding material is tampered with, cut or opened
without authorization (referred to as Cut Band or Band Off for Infant and/or Emergency
Department systems only) or if monitored devices in the system are not functioning
properly. An alarm also sounds if a transmitter breaches an Exit Alarm Zone. Additionally ,
if the system fails to detect a transmitter within its monitored area, a No Signal alarm is
issued.
Depending on which equipment options your facility has installed, the 9450 System can
automatically lock doors and deactivate elevators. In addition, the system sounds an alarm
at the Central Server and its network of Client computers when the event occurs. If
configured, alarms are also annunciated at remote notification locations (i.e. pagers, walkietalkie, Quick Look Interface).
With the Mother/Infant Matching feature activated, an alarm is generated if there is a
mismatch, meaning the Infant and Mother transmitters do not match; a linking error,
meaning there is a problem linking the Smart Sense transmitter to a Mother transmitter; or if
a discharge is attempted without first matching the Smart Sense transmitter with the Mother
transmitter.

Chapter 1
The Smart Sense T ransmitter
Introduction
When using an Smart Sense transmitter, the transmitter is placed on the ankle of an
infant. If the transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone, for example if a child is
being abducted, an alarm sounds at the exit as well as at a Central Server and its
network of Client computers. The Central Server and Client computer(s) also
identify which infant transmitter sounded the alarm and t he exit where the alarm
occurred.
The 9450 System provides further security by alerting staff if a transmitter’s special
ba n d i n g m a t e r i a l i s r e m o v e d , t a m p e r e d w i t h o r c u t . If your system is confi gured for
Supervision, and the transmitter fails to regularly communicate to the system, a No Signal
alarm will post in the Event List of the computer.
For more information about the computer, Band Off alarms or No Signal alarms,
refer to Chapter 2, Alarms and Troubleshooting or see your system’s Software User
Guide.
When using the Smart Sense transmitter in conjunction with a Mother transmitter, a
Smart Sense transmitter is placed on the ankle or the wrist of an infant and a
Mother transmitter is placed on the wrist of a n ew mother. For more information
regarding the Mother transmitter refer to the Mother/Baby Match Mother
Transmitter User Guide (PN 0510-1020).
WARNING: The 9450 System Mother/Baby Match feature
option is designed and intended to work in conjunction with a
facility’s overall infant identification program, including
identification bands and reasonable operating policies and
procedures. The 9450 System Mother/Baby Match feature
option, by itself, cannot prevent the mismatch, abduction or
elopement of patients.
