Operation
A small radio transmitter is attached and locked
on to the wrist of the patient. Door stations (resonators) are
mounted near each door leading to any unsafe areas. This allows
normal traffic through, but alerts and or restricts access to special
patients, by either instantly locking access doors and or notifying
personnel of the event.
If the patient wearing a wrist transmitter opens
a monitored door, an alarm is generated, warning staff of the breach.
For security at night, the system can be switched to NIGHT MODE
in which any opening of a monitored door will alert staff for their
own protection.
If a monitored patient opens a monitored door, the
door station beeps and flashes the ALARM light, then immediately
contacts the nurse's station or carer and pages the relevant staff,
either locally on-site, wide area or a remote control centre.
The system can be configured in several different
applications. One is to instantly notify relevant personnel, both
local or remote, of the event and can even lock the relevant door
when the restricted patient approaches, still allowing normal traffic
access.
SmartWalk can be integrated with other SmartLink
products or can operate as a stand alone unit. |
