Infant Tag User Guide AR4TA02-00P AR4TA01-00P INFANT TAG OVERVIEW Infant Tag Infant Tag w/ Tag Pulse As an essential part of the HALO Infant Protection System, the Infant Tag helps to protect and identify infants in your care. Each tag is labeled with a unique serial number and expiry date for easy, accurate identification. The bottom of the tag is curved to ensure a snug and comfortable fit. Tag pulse technology allows tags to emit periodic signals to the HALO system that allow facilities to accurately track and locate infants. Infant Tags are available with and without tag pulse technology. Top Arm Arm Curved Bottom -
Sensing Surface APPLICATION Proper banding will limit the incidence of nuisance alarms. A properly fastened strap should keep the bottom of the Infant Tag against the infants skin, but it should neither restrict the infants circulation nor cause discomfort or chafing. eXI recommends using either the Velcro Strap or the Stockinette to attach the Infant Tag. However, other options are available. For more information, contact your dealer or eXI directly. AR3WS01-VLC

Wipe each tag individually (using a new alcohol wipe for each) METHOD 2
Use cold sterilization in Cidex or Totacide Note: Do not immerse tags for more than 30 minutes METHOD 3
Use gas diffusion sterilization methods Note: Battery leakage may occur if tags are exposed to heat in excess of 57C (135F) Important: Tags are incompatible with disinfectants containing Glycol Ether.
