Today’shospitalshaveacriticalneedtolocatepersonnelthroughouttheir
facilities.TheyrequireareliableRTLStooptimizepatientcareandensurethe
safetyofitspersonnel.TheCenTrak staffbadgewasdevelopedtomeetthis
needandincludesseveraluniquefeaturesthatimproveuponlegacystaff
locatingtechnology.

hospital‐issuedemployeebadge. TheStaffBadgeisdesignedtostaywiththe
caregiver,thuseliminatingtheneedforseparateprocessesthatrequiredaily
taggingofpersonnel.Itiswaterresistantandcanbeeasilycleaned.EachStaff
BadgehasthreecustomizablebuttonsthatcanbeassignedbasedupontheRTLS

AboutCenTrak Gen2IR™Technology
TheCenTrak coreRTLSdiffersfromlegacysystemswithitscombineduseofa
patentedsecond‐generationinfrared(Gen2IR™)andactive‐RFIDtechnology.
Battery‐poweredMonitorstransmitauniqueroomnumberusingGen2IRwhich
isreceivedbyanytaginthatroom.Thetagcommunicatestheroomnumber
anditsownuniqueIDviaRFtotheCenTrak LocationServerusingahospital’s
existingwiredorWi‐Finetwork,whereitcanbeaccessedinreal‐timeby
hospitalpersonnelandintegratedwiththirdpartysolutionproviders.
Similartolight,Gen2IRwillnotpassthroughwallsanddoesnotsufferfrom
traditionalinfraredline‐of‐sightlimitations.Therefore,whenatagreadsaroom
number,therearenoerrors.Thisiscertainty‐basedRTLS.Unlikeestimation‐
basedinformation,certaintybasedlocationdatacanbeusedbyhospitalsto

makeimportantimprovementstoprocessflowandautomatedecisionmaking.
Mosthealthcareworkflowimprovementscanonlyberealizedwhenthelocation
dataiscertainty‐based.
*IT‐744andIT‐744EareforusewiththeCenTrak 2.0system.OrderIT‐741
