ABOUT THIS DOCUME NT
Intended Audience
This manual is intended for system users (typically duty nurses), team leaders, and supervisory level users who manage the system and the system users.
Scope
This manual will provide step-by-step instructions for users and supervisors who administer the usage of
the system. The HALO™ system features a very simple user interface that guides the user through each
step.
About the Halo Infant Protection System
• HALO™ is a premium infant protection system.
• HALO™ works in conjunction with the EXI P-tag patient transponder that is capable of sensing
if it has been removed from the infant.
• HALO™ is an electronic system, which, in conjunction with staff diligence, creates a secure
perimeter to deter infant abductions.
• HALO™ will detect if an infant is near a controlled exit and invoke countermeasures.
• The system will identify the infant, the location and the time.
• Alarms must be accepted by staff using password access to the system.
• The system maintains a log of all activity.
Access Levels
The HALO™ system has three separate access levels:
• User
• Team Leader
• Supervisor

System Conventions
Each user in the system has a unique identity (username) and password. The Supervisor assigns both the
username and password. It is suggested that both be kept between 4-8 characters to provide sufficient
security and allow users to easily enter and remember their system access codes. For example: a user
named Barbara Smith would have a username such as bsmith or barbs. Note that that each user must
have a unique name.
The system prompts the user for any text entry such as usernames or infant names, etc. To move from one
field to the next, the user may press Tab key on the keyboard or place the mouse cursor over the field and
Click the left button.
System Support
The first Supervisor is setup by the
installing dealer. This Supervisor may
add more assigned supervisory access.

1. SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
1.1. System Components
HALO™ Software:
Controllers:
Receivers:
Transponders:
Primary user interface that assists in the assignment and tracking of Transponders,
and displays alarms and other activities in graphical format. It also stores and allows printing of all system events that have been logged.
Controls an egress point and reports any Tag presence at the egress point to the
computer. Depending on sys tem configuration, c ontrollers may control door locks
and local alarms, and allow keypad input for door bypass. They may also provide a
“Nurse Saver” and “Loiter” feature. The “Nurse Saver” feature eliminates nuisance
alarms by not setting off an alarm when the presence of a Tag is detected and the
door is se nsed as closed. In the event that the door is open, or is opened when the
Tag is at the egress point, the system will alarm. The “Loiter” feature sounds an
alarm if a Tag detected at a door rema ins at that door for a peri od of time, regardless of the fact that the door may be sensed as closed.
Controllers will also detect a “Tag off body” condition in its area, as does a Receiver.
Detects “Tag off body” condition when a Tag is removed from a patient, and reports
this activity to the computer.
Also referred to as “Tags”, these devices are attached to the patient. Tags initiate
two different kinds of alarm conditions as follows:
TIC - Tag-initiated-Communications:
This alarm is initiated in the event that a Tag is removed from a patient. This
occurs when the Tag can no longer sense the body of the patient.
TIF - Tag-in-field Communications:
This alarm is initiated when a Tag enters an area protected by a Controller.
The Controller’s antenna(s) emit a constant field of radio waves that is
picked up by the Tag when in the proximity of the Controller. The Tag reports its presence to the Controller, and therefore the system, when it senses
this field of radio waves.

shown graphically.
- Names of buttons are shown as on screen.
1.3. Computer Display Conventions
The computer displays various types of information, which is color -coded, to differentiate between the
Supervisor and Use r mode s. In addi tion, the “Icons” that displ ay the l ocations of the various system
components such as the Controllers and the Receivers, and the on-screen “buttons” may also change
color to indicate their status.
The table below shows the various icons, and alarm conditions.
Icon Name Description
The controllers are located near egress points, such

communication problem.
Receivers
Elevators
Console
Pre-alarm
Alarm Condition
Receivers can be placed anywhere, and will only
detect off-body TIC alarms.
Elevators are controllers which detect TIC or TIF
alarms near an elevator.
The console is the computer that runs the HALO™
softw ar e.
Controllers or Receivers will flash these two icons
when they receive a TIC, a TIF, or a loiter alarm.
