How-To Guide

Setting Options: The information below explains what the options are for each configurable setting.

Changes to SETTINGS, can be made through the POD ONLY FOR CUSTOM BADGES. For predefined

Role settings, changes are made through the Dashboard ONLY. Please ask your Ecolab representative if

you have any questions or need to make changes to predefined roles.

LED Brightness: There are four options for the LED visual reminders.

1. “Off”: Turns off all visual reminders on the badge (no LED lights will be visible).

2. “Non”: Turns on the LED reminders only for non-compliant badge status.

3. “On”: Turns on the LED reminders for all badge states (except sleep).

4. “Save”: Power Save Mode. Visual reminders are on for non-compliant states, + the green LED is

turned on for 20 seconds only after a HH event at a monitored dispenser. This will extend the Badge’s

battery life while still providing user feedback.

Audio Volume: There are three options for the audio reminders.

1. “Off”: Turns off all the Badge’s audio reminders

2. “Non”: Turns on the audio reminders only for non-compliant events or warnings prior to non-

compliance (after grace period 3 has expired, or during the state 2 grace period)

3. “High:” Turns on the audio reminders for all events, both compliant (e.g., after a HH event, or

compliant patient zone entry) and non-compliant

Grace Periods: Grace periods are designed to allow flexibility of the System, so that it fits realistically into the

workflow of a wide range of healthcare workers. Grace periods can be adjusted by an Ecolab System

Administrator, for all Roles, by entering the desired time (within the allowed range).

1. “Clean after Hand Hygiene: “Specifies the length of time the HCW’s Badge will ignore Patient Zones

after using a soap or sanitizer monitored Dispenser.

2. “Non-Compliant New Patient Contact”: Specifies the length of time the HCW Badge will ignore a

second Patient Zone after leaving a first Patient Zone without performing hand hygiene using a

soap or sanitizer monitored Dispenser. This grace period is meant to reduce unintended non-

compliant events when working between two (2) Patient Zones.

3. “Non-Compliant Same Patient Re-contact:” The length of time a HCW can be out of a particular

Patient Zone and return to the same Patient Zone, before performing hand hygiene is required.

4. “Unknown Hand Hygiene Status After Extended Time Away:” At times, a HCW will wash or sanitize

their hands, and then be away from patient care for an extended period (e.g., end of shift, charting,

etc.). During this time, their hands may come into contact with many surfaces. This grace period

sets the length of time, after performing hand hygiene, at which a HCW would be required to re-

wash or sanitize prior to approaching a Patient Zone.

5. “Non-Compliant After Leaving Patient Zone:” Specifies the length of time a HCW has after leaving

a Patient Zone to perform hand hygiene, in order to be compliant (assuming they have not tried to

enter another Patient Zone before this).

Note: For the Custom Role only, the allowed timing range for a grace period can be displayed by

hovering the cursor over the setting box for that grace period.
