Protecting newborn patients from the threat of abduction is a top priority in all well-run hospitals and birthing centers. Providing high-quality infant security in a hospital environment is easier and more affordable than ever with Cuddles Infant Protection System from Accutech Healthcare Security Solutions. Now available with multiple system options to fit any budget.
HOSPITAL INFANT SECURITY SYSTEMS
Every baby needs to be safe, secure, and well cared for. How can hospitals take their security systems to the next level? By using advanced technology, nurses get the flexibility they need to provide seamless care to patients while keeping your facilities' protected zones intact in real-time - ensuring that safety is never compromised. With caring nurses, skilled doctors, attentive hospital staff, and advanced security technology, your patients are in the best of hands.
From the moment a baby is born, you want to keep them safe. Unfortunately, even within the confines of a hospital, danger lurks and the risk of abduction is present. Prevention is possible with the right balance of security and accessibility to give your patients both the freedom and safety they need.
With more than 35 years of experience, there's a reason the Cuddles infant protection system is the market leader. Call Accutech Healthcare Security Solutions today to find out more about how installing an infant safety system in your facility is a great benefit for you, your staff, and your patients.
With the Cuddles Pulse Infant Protection system, your facility can take advantage of the following technologies:
- Automatic tag check-in every 1.5 seconds. An alarm will sound if the tag goes missing within 15 seconds (up to 90 seconds earlier than the competition)
- Stand-alone and independent systems that won't go down even if your network does
- Automated tag transfers allow nurses to focus more on patient care and less on administrative duties
- Bands that can be used on babies of all sizes without false alarms
- Scalable, intuitive software with no recurring costs
- Door controllers that will respond to each baby's infant security tag and lock doors or sound an alarm when a patient is not cleared to exit.
- The ability to integrate with your current video surveillance system
INTRODUCING NEW CUDDLES PULSE SYSTEM
The Cuddles Pulse infant protection solution is the latest in infant protection technology. When not in an alarm state, the Cuddles Pulse tags send out a signal every 1.5 seconds to check in with the system. If seven of these signals are missed in a row, the system will notify your staff and can lock down the floor within 15 seconds of a tag's presence not being detected. That's up to 90 seconds earlier than the competition. This system does not replace Cuddles; rather, it elevates an already uniquely effective system. Think of it as an upgraded system with more bells and whistles than the original Cuddles solution. Learn more about the Cuddles Pulse Infant Protection System.

Automatic Tag Check-Ins
When not in an alarm state, the Cuddles Pulse tags send out a signal every 1.5 seconds to check in with the system. If seven of these signals are missed in a row, the system will notify your staff and can lock down the floor within 15 seconds of a tag’s presence not being detected. That’s up to 90 seconds earlier than our competitors!
No More "Too Loose" Alarms!
Experience the Cuddles light-weight, self-adjusting band that fits snugly and comfortably around the baby’s ankle. Made of an ultra-soft polyester blend, the bracelet won’t cut or chafe the skin, and won’t fall off due to movement or changes in weight. The tag will never come in contact with the baby’s skin.
What happens if the infant ID bracelet is cut or removed?
If this were to occur, the soft bracelet immediately activates an alarm—preventing abductions and ensuring the continued safety and security of the infant wearing it.
PC Enhanced, Not Dependent!
Only 7 alarm types and FREE upgrades for the life of your system.
If your computer goes down, our hospital infant security system is still hard at work. Our easy-to-use software only has seven alarm types and enables you to activate tags, admit and discharge patients and generate reports more simply and quickly than ever before.
Multi-floor monitoring and auto-transfer capabilities are available. Rest assured you always have the newest version of our software with free upgrades and no maintenance agreements required.
Other Reasons to Implement Cuddles At Hospitals
You may think your hospital is safe with cameras, locks, and dedicated security staff, but surveillance equipment alone cannot always prevent infant abductions. While protecting infants is reason enough to install effective security equipment, there are a few other benefits to the Cuddles Infant Protection System:
- Reduction of liability and improvement in patient safety
- A safe facility makes your hospital a place where parents want to have their babies
- Improved hospital reputation as a trusted, secure healthcare provider
Infant security is a paramount concern for maternity wards, and baby identification is a critical part of keeping newborns safe. Footprints from birth are a recognized and viable way to uniquely identify each baby. CertaScan by Accutech is the leading provider of digital footprinting, allowing hospitals to identify infants from the time of birth.

Healthcare Security & Infants ID Bracelets FAQs
You’ve probably heard of infant bracelets or newborn tracking systems, but you may not know much about how an infant security solution works. Accutech Healthcare Security Solutions has representatives that are happy to answer any questions you have about newborn security systems in hospitals. Reach out now to speak to a member of our team. You can also read through the infant security Q&As below.
Accutech’s infant abduction system works by combining soft, comfortable newborn bracelets with an electronic infant monitoring system. If someone tries to remove a baby without authorization, the system will alert nursing staff of the breach. Other protective mechanisms are in place, such as alerts that go off if someone should try to remove the bracelet/baby tag. Newborns are safe and secure with the Cuddles protection system, providing peace of mind to parents, while reducing liability and improving nurse efficiency.
Yes, medical ID bracelets are used to identify patients currently staying at a hospital. This is typically a plastic tag with a label containing the patient’s name or other identifying information on the bracelet. Medical IDs are not used for infant security. The Cuddles infant security band is made of soft material that is comfortable and safe for newborns’ sensitive skin, but it is also secure. This band is used to protect the baby from unauthorized removal from a hospital or maternity ward. Inside the bracelet is an electronic device that connects with a perimeter protection system.
Because babies are all different sizes, Accutech’s Cuddles band is designed to be flexible and adjustable. However, it is also made to be secure and not easily removed. The bracelet should not fall off, and it should not be easy to remove unless properly unfastened by a nurse or cut off. If the band is cut off or removed, an alarm will alert nursing staff, which sets off an immediate response to recover the infant before the child is removed from the hospital.
Accutech’s infant protection system was created to be simple and reliable, and the tagging system is easy to use. Our solution fits the workflow of maternity ward nurses, so they can protect their little patients while focusing on patient care.
