Instructions for the Hugs Infant Tag
Introduction
The Hugs tag is part of the Hugs Infant
Protection System. The tag is attached
to the infant using a Hugs tamper-proof
strap. From the moment of attachment,
the infant is automatically enrolled in the
system, and protected against abduction.
Cutting the band or attempting to remove
the infant without authorization from the
protected area will immediately cause an
alarm.
The Hugs tag is also used with the
optional Kisses Mother/Infant Matching
component of the Hugs System. Kisses is
designed to confi rm that the correct infant
is matched with the correct mother each
time they are brought together. The Hugs
tag emits an audible beep to indicate either
a correct or incorrect match.
The tag is reusable, and does not interfere
with other hospital or personal medical
equipment.
The patented asymmetrical shape of the
tag ensures that it does not pinch or irritate
the baby’s skin, and also helps prevent it
from being kicked off, while still allowing
the ankle joint to move freely.
The tag is water proof which allows bathing of the infant. It is also resistant to
soiling and UV light.
Please refer to the instructions included
with the Hugs straps for details on attaching the tag to an infant.
Note: The tag is not sterilized at the factory. You may wish to clean the tag prior
to fi rst use.
Cleaning the Tag
The Hugs tag can be cleaned using a softbristle brush and a disinfectant soap or
similar solution with no more than 20%
alcohol content (for example, Butcher’s
Heptagon Disinfectant Cleaner, or KleenAseptic from Metrex Research Corp.). Dry
the tag thoroughly before use.
A small soft-bristle brush can be used to
clean the tag slots. Pass the brush carefully through the tag slot moving from the
bottom to top of the tag.
Notes:
• Do not use an autoclave to clean the tag
or serious damage may result.
• Do not soak the tag in alcohol or alcohol-based cleaners.
• Do not immerse the tag when cleaning.
