5. 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 MDB 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.
5.1 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.
6. Manual Dispenser Beacon Care and Maintenance
6.1 Handling
The MDB is an electronic device and should be handled with care. Like other electronic devices such as a cell phone, the
MDB must be protected from extreme heat, cold and moisture. Avoid handling the MDB with wet hands or exposing it
to water. Dropping or tossing the MDB can result in damage to the internal electronics.
6.2 Cleaning
Under normal conditions of use, the MDB should not require cleaning. On the infrequent occasions where the MDB
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 MDB may be cleaned. Do not attempt to clean any interior surface of the MDB, as this can
damage the circuitry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or spray cleaning products.
6.3 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 HH 360™ devices. The HH 360™ Dashboard software also
monitors the battery level of each MDB. It will send an email alert to a designated maintenance person assigned by the
healthcare facility when a MDB’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.
6.3.1 Supplies
The following supplies are required to replace the Manual Dispenser Beacon’s battery:
1. Two (2) alkaline AA Duracell® Coppertop Batteries
6.3.2 Battery Replacement Steps
The following steps describe how to remove the MDB from the Nexa Manual Dispenser, and replace the batteries:
1. Open the dispenser by depressing the top latch button.
2. Remove product bottle (if any) from the dispenser and set aside.
3. With one hand, gently depress the retention tab (see figure 5) to release the beacon and allow it to be
removed.
4. With the other hand, gently pull on the removal strap at the top of the MDB to lift it out of the
compartment at the back of the dispenser.
5. Holding the MDB so that the rear side is facing up, remove the battery compartment door by gently pulling
back on the battery door tab.
