Instructions for the Halo™ Infant Tag

Introduction

As an essential part of the Halo infant
protection system, the infant tag helps
to protect and identify infants in your
care. Each tag is labeled with a unique
serial number and manufacturing date
for easy, accurate identifi cation.

The tag is designed to ensure a snug and
comfortable fi t.

Tag pulse technology allows tags to emit
periodic signals to the Halo system that
allow facilities to accurately track and
locate infants.

Top

Arm

Bottom
(Sensing Surface)

Proper banding will limit the incidence
of nuisance alarms. A properly fastened
strap should keep the bottom of the tag
against the infant’s skin, without either
restricting the infant’s circulation or
causing discomfort.

Xmark offers the Velcro Strap and
Stockinette for attaching the tag. How­ever, facilities are free to use other
banding solutions, such as the Coban™
Self-Adherent Wrap family of products
from 3M.

the tag (green
side), insert
the tab of the
strap through
the arm of
the tag opposite
the serial number,
making sure the tan colored side of
the strap faces the tag.

Pull the strap tight.2.
Carefully peel the backing from the 3.

Secure Strip to expose the adhesive.
Place the tag on the infant’s limb, 4.

usually just below the calf.

Guide the tab end of the strap 5.
around the limb and insert the tab
through the other arm of the tag,
from the bottom.

Make sure that the strap is snug 6.
enough not to be dislodged but not
so tight that it restricts circulation
or causes chafi ng, then fold the tab
over the tag arm and press it into the
Velcro to hold the tag in place.

Cover the tag with a stockinette 7.
to help prevent the tag from being
dislodged.

Periodic Check and Bathing

It is good practice to check the tag at the
start of every shift. Rotate the tag on a
regular basis to relieve impressions on the
infant’s skin. Although these marks are not
injurious or permanent, rotation may ease
any parental concerns.

Be sure to apply a new Secure Strip when­ever the position of the tag is changed,
including after bathing.

Storage

Store tags in the Tag
Rack (AGETR01-
