Intent of the STAT
®
ID System
The RTLS Cutband Tags are designed to be placed on the infant’s ankle soon after birth. In the event the monitored
infant is taken near an exit monitored by the RTLS System, the system will arm and/or lock the door. If the
monitored infant is taken through a monitored exit location by an unauthorized person, the system will sound an
audible alarm indicating the exit location through which the infant has been taken.
If the strap of the RTLS Cutband Tag is tampered with, resulting in tearing of the conductive material within the
strap, the system will alert nursing staff of the event via an audible and visual alarm condition at the Nurse Station
location. All exit locations monitored by the system will arm and/or lock. In the event the door is open at the exit
location, the Exit Panel at the exit location will alarm, alerting nursing staff of the event via an audible and visual
alarm at the Nurse Station location.
In the event a cutband alarm condition occurs, existing security procedures should be enacted until staff have located
the infant and cleared the alarm condition.
The RTLS Cutband Tag is constantly being monitored by the GUI Nurse Station. In the event a Tag stops
transmitting, the Nurse Station will display a STAT alarm. In the event of a STAT alarm, the infant and Tag can be
located immediately with the RTLS information.
The RTLS Tag location is constantly being monitored and the position/location of the Tag will be displayed on the
GUI at the nurse station and/or the security monitor.
Tag Battery Monitoring
This Tag actively monitors the status of its battery. When the Tag battery is near the end of its useful life (less than
2.7v) it will issue a low battery signal that will trigger an audible and visual alert at Secure Care Software versions
2.8.3 and above. A “Low Battery Alert” will be displayed on the computer. The Tag should be replaced at this
time. Failure to replace a weak Tag will compromise performance of the system.
Ordering New or Replacement Tags
Tags and straps are purchased directly from Secure Care Products. Please call 1-800-451-7917 to order Tags.
Tags and a roll of straps will typically be shipped within two weeks after receipt of your order. All Tag sales are final
because they are date sensitive products. The Tag straps are sold on a reel.
Tag Warranty
The actual expiration date of the Tag is the last day of the month engraved on the Tag. If within the warranty period a
Tag is not performing to our specification, CALL our toll free number (1-800-451-7917), for a Tag Return
Authorization (TXRA) BEFORE returning any Tag.
A replacement Tag will be sent at a prorated fee (based on the end of the original warranty of the Tag being returned)
along with a postage paid label marked with a Return Authorization number. Simply replace the suspect Tag with the
new replacement and send the suspect Tag back to Secure Care Products within 15 days with facility name and address,
and the TXRA Number displayed, and a description of the Tag problem. When the Tag is returned to Secure Care
Products, it is tested on a system similar to that in the facility to verify that the Tag is not working to our specifications.
.
 If the Tag tests properly, and is in good working condition, the facility may be charged a prorated amount
up to the original due date, as well as freight charges incurred.
 If the Tag is physically damaged, the facility will be charged the full replacement Tag charge.
