transmit the Badge’s HH status (both just prior to and immediately after the dispense) to the Hub. The TDB will also
transmit the time, date and location of the event, along with the battery status of the HCW badge and the TDB. If the
user is not wearing a badge, or is not within the proximity bubble, the time, date and dispenser ID for the product dispense
event will be relayed to the hub as a “non-badged dispense”.
In addition to communication of dispense event data, all TDBs proactively send their ID and battery status information to
a Hub on an approximately hourly basis. If communication to a Hub is lost, all TDBs have the capability to store up to 512
events in their on board memory.
4. Dispenser Beacon Status Information
The Dispenser Beacon proactively sends its battery level and status information to a Hub at least once per hour, or when
product is dispensed. This information can be accessed through the Dashboard, to generate a report showing Dispenser
Beacons with low battery level. If communication to a Hub is temporarily lost, each TDB has the capability to store up to 512
events. If this number of events is exceeded before communication to the Hub is restored, the oldest events will be
overwritten, thus resulting in some loss of data.
4.1 Yellow LED – Successful Communication Between HCW Badge and Dispenser Beacon.
The Yellow LED which flashes once during or immediately after a dispense event, indicates that the HCW badge
information has successfully been communicated to the Dispenser Beacon. The Dispenser Beacon will then send this
information to a Hub for relay on to a Gateway, and eventually to the offsite server for compilation and archiving.
4.2 When an Empty Bottle is Removed and a New Bottle is Installed
The Yellow LED will flash twice when the empty bottle is removed, and the Yellow LED will flash once when a new bottle
is installed.
5. Touch Free Dispenser Beacon (TDB) Care and Maintenance
5.1 Handling
The TDB is an electronic device and should be handled with care. Like other electronic devices such as a cell phone, the
TDB must be protected from extreme heat, cold and moisture. Avoid handling the TDB with wet hands or exposing it to
water. Dropping or tossing the TDB can result in damage to the internal electronics.
5.2 Cleaning
Under normal conditions of use, the TDB should not require cleaning. On the infrequent occasions where the TDB might
become soiled, it should be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth. The cloth may be dry or slightly damp but not wet. Only
the exterior of the TDB may be cleaned. Do not attempt to clean any interior surface of the TDB, as this can damage the
circuitry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or spray cleaning products.
5.3 Battery Replacement
Typical Dispenser Beacon battery life is about 1 year but this may vary depending on use. When a Dispenser Beacon’s
battery is dead it will no longer communicate with other Encompass HH CMS devices. The Encompass HH CMS Dashboard
software also monitors the battery level of each TDB. It will send an email alert to a designated maintenance person,
assigned by the healthcare facility, when a TDB’s batteries are low (20% or less remaining battery capacity). The
maintenance person should replace the batteries as soon as possible to prevent loss of data.
5.3.1 Supplies
The following supplies are required to replace the Touch Free Dispenser Beacon’s battery:
