Preface
Preface
Overview
This guide provides important information about the Baby Check 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 for Infant and
Emergency Department systems only), or if monitored devices in the system are
not functioning properly. An alarm also sounds if a transmitter is detected in an
Exit Alarm Zone. If the system fails to detect a transmitter within its monitored
area, a Check Transmitter (v3-v6) or No Signal (v7 and above) 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, walkie-talkie, Quick Look display).
With the Baby Check/Infant Matching feature activated, an alarm is generated if
there is a mismatch, meaning the Infant and Baby Check transmitters do not
match; a linking error, meaning there is a problem linking the Infant transmitter
to a Baby Check transmitter; or if a discharge is attempted without first
matching the Infant transmitter with the Baby Check transmitter.
