BABY TAGGING
Baby Shield is an anti abduction system (baby tagging) for neo natal and infant units within a Hospital environment and is equally effective for toddlers in an educational establishment or the vulnerable elderly in sheltered residences.
Baby tagging uses a discreet active RFID fob and is purposefully designed to protect vulnerable groups. Although Tagging is a widely used term baby tagging should not be confused or associated with the wider term.
Baby tagging uses safe technology very low powered, providing ultra fast short duration transmission to a specialised inert receiver.
Baby tagging should not be a simple tripwire system that activates a tag by a magnetic field around a door. The use of strong magnetic fields in a newborns area for baby tagging is not ideal and it cannot provide active assurance that the baby tagging is active safe, functioning and present requiring no attention or action.
A typical example of baby tagging would be a Neo natal wing with a 50m long corridor with an entrance on one end and a fire exit to the other. There are wards to both sides.
Two discreet inert receivers would be placed in the corridor and linked to a PC. This then creates a monitored area superimposed over the whole wing. The baby tagging system is now effective. The small fobs report to the receivers every 2.4 seconds sending a unique ID number matched to an infant confirming they are present and are in positioned on the infant. Staff may attend to their duties confident in the knowledge that a silent baby tagging system confirms that the all is well.
