Made in Canada P 4. System Maintenance HALO is designed to assist staff in providing a higher degree of safety for patients. It is not intended as the sole means of protection in preventing a wanderer or infant from leaving the premises. Regular checks to verify that your HALO system is operational is highly recommended. EXI Wireless Systems Inc. 32 March 2000 Revision 5.0 EXI HALO User Manual 980-000002-000 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

All Tags should be checked for physical damage after each cleaning, disinfecting or sterilization procedure. Each Tag should be tested for correct operation before being attached to an infant. The HALO software prompts for testing of Tags prior to their deployment. Please refer to the appropriate section in this manual for the instructions. The warrantee on Tags is 2 years, and the batteries within the Tags are expected to last in access of the warrantee period depending on the usage pattern. Do not leave Tags in the detection field for long periods of time, and store them in the foil bags supplied. Failure to do so will result in false alarms, and will reduce battery life. Set up a regular system check schedule to verify that the Controllers, Receivers and Tags are op-

erational. Controllers should have the Ready light illuminated to show that they are powered. Check the operation of the Controller daily by starting a bypass or triggering an alarm using a Tag to ensure that it is fully operational and protecting the egress point where it is located. Check each Receiver on a regular basis to ensure that it can receive signals from Tags in the Off Body condition. Failure to regularly check for this operation may lead to failure to detect a Tag that is removed from an infant, and therefore compromising protection for the infant. Whenever you see a known wandering patient, look for the Tag on their person to verify they are still wearing it. This may require special knowledge as to the placement of the Tag. Conduct frequent back-ups of Activity Logs for future reference. Intended Audience This manual is intended for system users (typically duty nurses) and supervisory level users who manage the system and the system users. Scope This manual will provide step by step instructions for users and supervisors who administer the usage of the system. The Halo system features a very simple user interface that steps the user through and provides in-

structions at each step. About Halo Infant Protection System Halo is a premium infant protection system. Halo works in conjunction with the EXI P-tag patient trans-

ponder that is capable of sensing if it has been removed from the infant. Halo is an electronic system, which, in conjunction with staff diligence, creates a secure perimeter to deter infant abductions. EXI Wireless Systems Inc. 32 March 2000 Revision 5.0 EXI HALO User Manual 980-000002-000 Halo will detect if an infant is near a controlled exit and invoke countermeasures. The system will identify the infant, the location and the time. Alarms must be accepted by staff using password access to the system. The system maintains a log of all activity. Access Levels The Halo system has three separate access levels:

User Supervisor Dealer Level Password required User Yes Supervisor Yes Dealer Yes Functions Access Management Admit Patients Discharge Patients Accept/Silence alarms Toggle between floor plans (No Password required) All user functions Manage user list Assign usernames and passwords View and annotate activity logs Add/Delete tags from fleet Initiate System Data Backups Print logs Exit the Halo system All user/Supervisor functions System Diagnostics System modifications Importing floor plans Access controlled by Supervisor or Dealer level users The first Supervisor is setup by the installing dealer. This Supervisor may add more assigned supervisory access. Controlled by EXI System Conventions Each user in the system has a unique identity (username) and password. The Supervisor assigns both the username and password. It is suggested that both be kept between 4-8 characters to provide sufficient secu-

rity and allow users to easily enter and remember their system access codes. For example:

A user named Barbara Smith would have a username such as bsmith or barbs. Note that that each user should have a unique name. EXI Wireless Systems Inc. 32 March 2000 Revision 5.0 EXI HALO User Manual 980-000002-000 The system prompts the user for any text entry such as usernames or infant names etc. To navigate from one field to the next, the user may press tab or place the mouse cursor over the field and Click the left button.

Primary user interface that assist in the assignment and tracking of Transponders, and displays alarms and other activities in graphical format. Also stores and al-

lows printing of all system events that have been logged. Controllers:

Controls an egress point and reports any Tag presence at the egress point to the computer. Depending on system configuration, Controllers may control door locks and local alarms, allow keypad input for door bypass, and offer a Nurse Saver and Loiter feature. The Nurse Saver feature eliminates nuisance alarms by not setting off an alarm when the presence of a Tag is detected and the door is sensed as closed. In the event that the door is open, or is opened when the Tag is at the egress point, the system will alarm. The Loiter feature sounds an alarm if a Tag detected at a door remains at that door for a period of time, regardless of the fact that the door may be sensed as closed. Controllers will also detect a Tag off body condition in its area, as does a Re-

ceiver. Receivers:

Detects Tag off body condition when a Tag is removed from a patient, and re-

ports this activity to the computer. Transponders:

Also referred to as Tags, these devices are attached to the patient. Tags initiate two different kinds of alarm conditions as follows:

Tag-initiated-Communications (TIC) This alarm is initiated in the event that a Tag is removed from a patient. This occurs due to the fact that the Tag can no longer sense the body of the patient. Tag-in-field Communications (TIF) This alarm is initiated when a Tag enters an area protected by a Control-

ler. The Controller emits a constant field of radio waves which is picked up by the Tag when in the proximity of the Controller. The Tag reports its presence to the Controller, and therefore the system, when it senses this RF field. 1.2.

EXI Wireless Systems Inc. 32 March 2000 Revision 5.0 EXI HALO User Manual 980-000002-000 Alarm type (tag removal or egress alarm) Infant name Tag number Time ID of staff member accepting the alarm Staff member notes on alarm incident The Halo system is usually set up to create multiple detections of an alarm for security purposes. When multiple system devices see the same tag in alarm, the system will condense this into one incident for the staff member to accept. When multiple alarms occur, the staff member much accept each alarm before the system will clear the alarms. This normally means more that one infant tag alarmed simultaneously. All alarms are maintained in a log for supervisor review. 2.4. Nurse Saver and Loitering Features If the system is installed with the Nurse Saver feature, Tags detected at egress points which are se-

cured will not set off nuisance alarms. A Tag detected near a door that is closed will result in the floor button on the computer screen turning yellow (pre-alarm), and the icon associated with that door also turning yellow. If a bypass keypad is installed at the door, it will flash a light and emit periodic beeps to indicate the presence of the Tag. This event is logged into the computer as Tag detected at location xxx, but will not create an alarm condition. An alarm is initiated if the door was to be opened while the Tag was still present at the door. For this feature, the door has to be equipped with a magnetic switch to sense whether it is in the closed or open position. If the tag remains at the door for a period of one minute or more, an egress alarm will be initiated and the button on the screen and the icon will turn to red. This is the Loitering feature.
