Event Types
Cut Band Alarm
When the banding material on a patient’s alarming band transmitter is cut, tampered with or opened without
authorization (which includes opening the transmitter when a timed event has expired), 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). Cut Band Alarms
are also displayed on remote notification devices.
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 system automatically locks All exits
since the transmitter in Escort or Transfer may be outside of its protected unit 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 procedures to ensure patient safety and secure the area.
2. Verify the transmitter is applied correctly and without signs of damage or tampering.
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: Any perimeter alarms that occur due to a door open during a Cut Band Alarm
require that the Cut Band Alarm be cleared at the computer first, before the doors are reset
or cleared.
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.
