Overview
Preface
PREFACE
The SAFE PLACE transmitters are
components of the 9450 System which
monitors doors, elevators, hallways, and
stairwells to assist staff in monitoring patients
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 No
Signal/Check Transmitter alarm is issued.
Depending upon which equipment you have
installed, the 9450 System can automatically
lock doors and deactivate elevators.
In addition, if the system in your facility
includes computers, an alarm also sounds at
a Central Server and its network of Client
computers. The computer software will
identify which patient sounded the alarm and
the exit where the alarm occurred.
WARNING: The 9450 System is designed
and intended to work in conjunction with a
facility’s overall patient security program,
including reasonable operating policies and
procedures. The 9450 System, by itself,
cannot prevent abductions or the elopement
of patients.

Introduction
Transmitters
GENERAL INFORMATION
This chapter provides general information
about the transmitters. It includes:
Transmitters types
Warranty dates
Banding the transmitters
Testing and care
The transmitters are lightweight and
compact. They can be left on the patient
during bathing but prolonged exposure to
wet conditions and complete submersion
should be avoided.
SUBMERSION—Prolonged submersion may
result in equipment and/or system failure and
voids any and all Product Warranties.
Safe Place Transmitters User Guide Page 9 of 33
0510-1121-J
How do the transmitters work?
When activated, a transmitter sends a signal
that is received by Exit Alarm and Alarming
Band Receivers. If a patient wearing a
transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone
and the door is open, an alarm sounds at
the exit as well as at a Central Server and
its network of Client computers.
RADIO FREQUENCY: The radio frequency
(RF) characteristics of certain metal crib carts
may interfere or block the Infant transmitter’s
signal during transport, preventing detection
by the system’s Exit Receiver.
General Information
Transmitter Types
Standard
Umbilical
Smart Sense
There are four types of Safe Place
transmitters:
The Smart Sense transmitter is worn on an
infant’s ankle and senses when the
transmitter is loose or no longer in contact
with the infant.
The Smart Sense technology combines the
Smart Sense transmitter and Smart Sense
banding material to give you the capability
to recognize if a transmitter has been
removed from an infant or if it has been
tampered with or is loose.
The following are the measurements for
tamper detection:
Resistance—banding material no
longer stretching with infant's movement
Capacitance—change in contact
between transmitter and infant
Infant
Cord
Page 10 of 33 Safe Place Transmitters User Guide
Like Smart Sense, the Standard Infant
transmitter is worn on the infant’s ankle and
provides cut-band protection.
The Umbilical Cord transmitter is secured in
the infant’s umbilical cord clamp and is worn
on the umbilical stump.

Expiration
Date
General Information
The Patient (locking) transmitter is worn on
the wrist or ankle and provides cut-band
protection, but requires a key to open and
lock. It is ideal for older pediatric to adult
patients who may be prone to opening
clasps.
Each transmitter is stamped with a warranty
expiration date. This date indicates the date
that RF Technologies’ warranty on that
transmitter expires. If the warranty period
has expired, discard the transmitter
immediately.
WARNING: Using a transmitter beyond the
printed expiration date can result in system
failure, elopement, and/or abduction.
Smart Sense Standard Infant Patient Transmitter

Transmitters have a 1 year life expectancy.
Umbilical Cord

General Information
Banding
Smart Sense
NOTE: All banding material types must not
remain on a patient for longer than 72 hrs (3
days). If the material is kept on longer than
this specified period of time, you may
receive false alarms from that transmitter.
CAUTION: You must test all transmitters
prior to use to verify proper operation. This
includes every time that the band is
replaced. Failure to test the transmitters
before use can result in system failure,
abduction, and/or an elopement. In addition,
failure to test transmitters voids the RF
Technologies Product Warranty.
To band the Smart Sense transmitter:

1. Remove the Smart Sense banding
material (with the plastic guide tabs still
attached) from the plastic backing.
WARNING: Only Smart Sense banding
material can be used to fasten Smart Sense

NOTE: In order to avoid nuisance alarms,
cleaning procedures must be performed at
least 100 feet from any Alarming Band
Zone.
CAUTION: Using an approved cleaner does
not confirm the suitability of the cleaner to
meet your infection control standard; it only
indicates that the transmitter will not be

Testing and Care
Replacing
the Clamp
In some cases, you need to replace
damaged transmitter clamps. This is done
by opening the existing clamps, snapping
them off of the transmitter, and inserting
new clamps.
To replace a transmitter clamp:
1. Open the clamps all the way and gently
remove them from the transmitter.
2. Insert the first clamp into the transmitter
by inserting the right oval-shaped pin
into the hole on the right of the
transmitter.
3. Next, line the
left ovalshaped pin up
with the hole
on the left side
of the
transmitter.
4. Gently snap
the left ovalshaped pin into
the hole.
5. Close and secure the clamp.
6. Repeat the previous steps for the
second clamp.

CAUTION: Use care around the piercing
contacts on the transmitter as they are
extremely sharp. Placing your fingers
directly on the piercing contact can result in
