Event Types
Cut Band Alarm
When the banding material on a patient’s alarming band transmitter is cut or tampered with, an alarm is sounded
on every Client 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 Client
computer(s).
If your facility has enabled the Lockdown on Cut Band Alarms feature, a Cut Band Alarm will trigger a Global
Lockdown.You can configure the Global Lockdown feature to lock doors at All exits or By transmitter units.
However, if a Cut Band Alarm is initiated during an Escort or a Transfer, the systems automatically locks All exits
and displays the alarm on all Client computers and Quick Look displays.
To respond to a Cut Band Alarm
1. Always follow your facility’s policies and procedure to ensure patient safety and secure the area.
2. Verify transmitter is applied correctly and without signs of damage.
3. From the Client computer, click anywhere in the Cut Band Alarm Message Box to access the Event
Information window.
4. Select one of the following event causes:
• Clasp open —one of the clasps on the transmitter was open.
• Band cut—the banding material on the transmitter was cut.
• Band worn—the banding material on the transmitter is worn and must be replaced.
• Unauthorized open-—an unauthorized person opened the transmitter clasp.
• Adjust—a transmitter was being adjusted without authorization, an adjust was not requested or
an adjust occurred after the adjust time expired.
• Discharged —the transmitter was being removed in a discharge without authorization, a
discharge was not requested or a discharge occurred after the adjust time allowed.
• Tes t —the system was being tested.
• Other—opens a Clear Reason window, user must enter the cause in this window.
You cannot clear an event until you select the appropriate cause for the event. The event is cleared from
the Event List of every Client computer configured to monitor the unit.
NOTE: You can click Silence to stop the alarm sound at the Central Server or Client
computer. The alarm is silenced, at that computer only, for the configured length of time;
however, the event still appears in the Event List. The next event automatically restarts the
alarm sound.
