Certascan Baby Footprint Scanner
Certascan, a footprint scanner by Accutech, offers a simple, digital way for parents to capture and keep their newborn’s footprints as a lasting keepsake. The state-of-the-art scanning technology ensures detailed and clean prints, eliminating the need for ink or paper. This method is not only more efficient but also more accurate than traditional ink-and-paper footprinting, providing a permanent digital record that can be easily accessed and shared. Additionally, Certascan’s digital footprint records could be invaluable in crisis situations, such as child trafficking, airport security or border control. By providing precise, accessible identification, it supports authorities in quickly matching children with their records during critical moments.


More Precise Infant Identification Over Traditional Ink and Paper
Just like a fingerprint scanner identifies people by their unique fingerprints, a footprint scanner helps identify infants. A baby’s footprint is unique. Digital scanning of footprints can help identify a child if something happens, like abduction.
It is not always easy to recognize babies and young children by their faces. This is because their features change quickly in early life. Infant footprint records are important for helping police find missing children. CertaScan by Accutech Healthcare Security Solutions offers precise identification through footprint scanning technology. Footprint scanning is a safe way to identify your baby. You don’t need to worry about it being invasive. To learn more about how an infant footprint scanner can help, call Accutech now.
