Infant Security Systems

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!

The tag test station gives current and future users the ability to see the remaining battery life and warranty date on infant and mother tags. The tag test station also allows users to see the tag program number, exact battery percentage remaining and allows nurses’ to record tag notes.

The ID-TAD (Identification-Tag Activator/Deactivator) is a handheld device that brings additional functionality to the Cuddles system. Nurses can turn tags on/off, verify tag numbers, review warranty dates and check remaining battery life from the LCD screen. When coupled with mother tags, the ID-TAD brings mother/baby matching technology to the Cuddles infant protection system.

All Cuddles systems are shielded against RF interference for the life of the system. Each tag operates at a unique frequency (418 MHz) on the edge of a range available only to the Department of Defense. The embedded ID code on the RF chip in addition to the unusual frequency it is transmitted on combine to make Cuddles the most reliable infant protection system available – minimizing the problem of false alarms (and alarm fatigue).

The Cuddles infant protection system Soft Bracelet is a light-weight, self-adjusting band that fits snugly and comfortably around the 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.

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.

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.

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.

Hospitals use a variety of security measures to protect newborns, including controlled access to maternity units and camera surveillance. One of the most effective measures is the use of infant protection systems like Cuddles that attach a tamper-proof bracelet to the baby's ankle immediately after birth. If someone attempts to remove the tag or take the infant out of the designated area, alarms will sound.

Yes, many hospitals use infant security systems, such as the Cuddles Infant Protection system. These systems employ bracelets with embedded sensors that are placed on the baby's ankle. These bracelets communicate with a system that monitors the location of the baby within the hospital. If the bracelet is tampered with or the baby is moved outside of a designated area, an alarm is triggered.

An infant security system is a technology solution designed to protect infants in healthcare facilities. These systems use wearable tags or bracelets attached to the infant, which send signals to a central monitoring system. If the tag is tampered with or the infant is taken beyond a certain boundary, the system triggers an alarm. Systems like Cuddles also offer real-time location tracking and integrate with existing hospital systems.
