X-Tag

Active Tagging Ltd (trading as Xtag Medical) is the market leader for active Low Power Radio Baby Tagging Systems. Based near Leeds in the UK, we have been trading since 2002, and have successfully developed an impressive portfolio of over 50 NHS Trusts.

Our mission is to provide a reliable and efficient infant protection system using the latest technology, and we continually invest in research and development to ensure we offer the best possible product to our customers.

Aftercare is paramount to us, and we give full training to midwifery staff, and offer telephone support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so there is always technical support available if you need help.

In addition to this, our administration team check our Baby Tagging Systems remotely on a daily basis to ensure everything is running smoothly.

We also offer a number of service packages, and our engineers will do a thorough maintenance check of the System periodically depending on the level of cover, and provide a full report for your records.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

TAGS

• Small and light, with no sharp edges, for all sized babies

• IP67 waterproof hypoallergenic case – no need to remove for bathing

• Easy to fit strap, which can be tightened if baby loses weight

• Each tag has a unique ID – transmits its status and location in real time

• 2 to 3 year battery life, depending on use, with low battery warning

• Easy to clean and sterilise, ready for re-use

ALARMS & ALERTS

• Near exit ‘loiter’ alert when tag is near exit door, triggers local exit ‘lock down’

• Exit/abduction alarm if tag passes exit door, triggers ward-wide ‘lock down’

• Perimeter security readers track tags which breach exits and transmit location

• ’Tag off’ alert if the tag is removed from the baby – location sent to User PC

• ‘Tamper’ alarm if tag strap is cut – location sent and ward doors ‘lock down’

• Signal lost alert if a tag is not seen by the system for any reason

TAG MANAGEMENT

• Wall mounted touch screen with barcode reader enables quick enrolment of tags

• Password protected with unique access code per user and separate supervisor access level

• Status of all tags shown in real time on the screen’s traffic display

• ’Transfer’ function enables tagged baby transfer to other secure wards

• ‘Off Watch’ function enables transfer to examination, treatment wards etc.

• False alarms can be muted by supervisors, or via remote access, to minimise disruption

• ’Help’ button provides user with emergency support link to XTAG Medical specialists 24/7
