Band Off
When the Smart Sense Banding Material on a Smart Sense Infant Transmitter is removed,
tampered with or comes off of the infant's extremity, an alarm is sounded on the computer
configured to monitor the unit, a message is displayed in the Event List, and the location of
the Alarming Band Receiver that detected the event is indicated on the map on the
computer(s).
How to Respond
1. Always follow your facility’s policies/procedures to ensure patient safety and
secure the area.
2. Verify transmitter is applied correctly and without signs of damage to banding
material or transmitter piercing contacts. Ensure that both clamps are securely
fastened with banding material in place on both sides.
3. Clear alarm at Client computer.
c. Click anywhere in the Band Off alarm message box.
d. Select event cause from Event Information window.
e. If necessary, use your access card or enter your login/password.
f. Select OK or ENTER.
4. Proceed to any doors that reported Perimeter alarms associated with the Band Off.
Reset each door with the four-digit security code or use your card reader access
card (if applicable). Band Off alarms must be cleared at the computer before
you reset the doors.
5. If the transmitter is loose or off, an Adjust must be requested and completed in
order to refasten the transmitter.
NOTE: You must ensure transmitter is banded properly following every Band
Off alarm. If you are experiencing multiple Band Off alarms for a particular
transmitter in use, request and perform an Adjust for the transmitter.
