Limitation of Liability
This Product has been designed for use to assist in the prevention of infant abduction
and/or mother/infant mismatching.
The range, accuracy, function and performance of this Product may vary from the
published specifications due to many factors, including, but not limited to, site
impairments from structural effects, metal objects in the vicinity, placement of the
receiver and transmitter, interference from other electrical devices, atmospheric
effects, installation, and maintenance. There may be other factors, which also affect
performance of this Product.

Latex-Free Parts
The parts listed below do not contain latex in the material and have had no contact
with latex during the manufacturing process:
• Hugs tag - p/n806A4801
• Kisses tag - p/n 806A2201
• Soft Infant Band (for use with Hugs tag) - p/n 806A1401
• Soft Pediatric Band (for use with Hugs tag) - p/n 806A2001
Cleaning Tags
Note: The Hugs tag is not sterilized at the factory. You may wish to clean it before first use.
The Hugs tag can be cleaned using a soft-bristle brush. Follow these guidelines for
cleaning the tag:
• Consult with your Infection Control representative for approved cleaners that
can be used on plastics. Prolonged exposure with cleaners containing a high
percentage (>60%) of isopropanol may cause some crazing of the tag’s surface.
• Do not use pathogenic cleaners specified for TB.
• Do not use an autoclave to clean the tag or serious damage may result.
Cell Phones and the Hugs system
The 217 MHz frequency (434 MHz for international sites) of the Hugs system was
specifically chosen because cellular phones and pagers, among other devices, do not
operate in this frequency range and should not interfere with the operation of the
Hugs system. The receivers in the Hugs system were designed with filters to reject
interference.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The tags contain metal components and must be removed before an infant undergoes
an MRI scan.
Ultraviolet (UV) Light
Because the tag is made of an ABS plastic, it is not as susceptible to UV light as other
plastics such as poly carbonate materials. Minor stains, such as label ink and plastic
discoloration, can be avoided by regular tag rotation to ensure that the same tags are
not continually exposed to UV light. A crack appearing on the tag’s surface would be
noticed immediately by staff, eliminating any chance of reducing the integrity of the
infant security system.
Warnings
• Do not operate other software programs at the same time as the Hugs software - do
not use these or other software:
1
Disk compression - do not use compressed disk drives. Drive compression
technology is not recommended.
2
When using anti-virus software do not schedule the scan to run as it will slow
down the system response time due to the amount of CPU resources it
consumes.
3
Back-up programs - the only back-up program supported while running the
PS system is the SQL Studio Express included on the Patient Security (PS)
Server Software Installation DVD. If any other backup program is used, the
PSS would need to be stopped to allow access to the database for backing up.
When the PSS is running, it seizes the database not allowing other programs
to access it.
• Turn off power management for all computers used in the Patient Security system power management can interfere with the proper operation of the PS system
software.
• Turn off Auto-Updater - restarts of the Server computer as a result of auto-updater
will bring the system down unexpectedly. OS and security updates should be
applied on a planned schedule.

INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER 0
The Hugs User Guide provides instructions on how to use all aspects and
features of the Hugs® application software. It is intended for facility staff who
are responsible for using and maintaining the Hugs system. Although there are
sections on setting tag and alarm parameters, the general assumption is that
your Hugs system has been installed and verified by your authorized Hugs
dealer.
Hugs User Guide
1–1
What is the Hugs System?
What is the Hugs System?
The Hugs system is designed to prevent the abduction of infants from hospitals.
The system consists of Hugs tags with tamper-proof bands that are worn by
infants, Exciters strategically placed at exits, and Receivers installed at regular
intervals throughout the monitored area.
In a typical setup, the obstetrics department of a hospital is defined as a “safe
area.” Within this area, infants may be moved about freely. Exits from the safe
area are equipped with Exciters mounted above or beside doorways. As an infant
approaches an Exciter, the tag sends a special signal to the Receiver identifying
itself and its location. This information is relayed to the Patient Security Server,
where an alarm message is automatically displayed.
The tag is automatically enrolled into the system as soon as it is applied to the
infant. From the moment it is activated, the tag begins sending a regular
Heartbeat® message to indicate that it is OK. These messages are continually
monitored by the Patient Security Server, and an alarm is generated if the system
fails to detect the Heartbeat message for a certain period of time.
Infants can be removed from the safe area for testing and other legitimate
purposes. The tag is “Transported” from the system for a set time, either
through the Hugs computer, or through optional keypads placed at exits. If the
tag is not detected by the system after the Transport time has expired, an alarm is
automatically generated.
The Hugs system employs a network based on the LonWorks® protocol. The
Patient Security Server is connected over the LonWorks network to every
Receiver and Exciter, along with optional devices such as I/O Modules. All
devices are continually supervised, and an alarm is automatically generated if
communication is lost.
The Hugs system is modular in design, providing flexibility during installation,
and easy expansion. Small systems can be enlarged to cover larger areas, or to add
other applications.

Hugs System Components
Hugs Tags
At the heart of the Hugs system is the Hugs tag. This small radio transmitter
combines state of the art technology with an unobtrusive ergonomic design. The
tag incorporates a tamper mechanism that is enabled as soon as the tag is applied
to the infant with the tamper-proof band.
Once applied, the tag emits a signal and is automatically admitted into the
system. From this time forward, the system constantly monitors the tag. If the
tag is not seen by the system for a certain period of time, an alarm is generated in
the system.
The BabySense™ feature of the tag ensures that it is always securely applied to
the infant. The band and the back of the tag together sense the baby’s skin. If for
any reason the tag does not sense the baby for a certain period of time, a message
appears in the Hugs system software. The BabySense properties can be disabled.
The band can be adjusted to accommodate normal weight loss and is
hypoallergenic. Tags are reusable and have a warranted life of one year. They are
latex-free and also waterproof to allow bathing of the infant.
The Hugs tag is made of a durable, impact-resistant, very strong Acrylonitrile
Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic. ABS plastic is considered superior to
polycarbonate materials because of its hardness, gloss, toughness, and electrical
insulation properties.
For cleaning, applying and tag maintenance instructions, see “Tag Instructions
and Maintenance”.

Hugs System Components
Receivers
Receivers are radio frequency reception devices installed at regular intervals
throughout the monitored area of the facility. Receivers receive the Hugs tag
transmissions (within a 35 - 50 ft radius), time stamp them, and relay them to
the Patient Security Server via a LonWorks network. Receivers are installed in
ceilings, usually out of view.
The Patient Security Server monitors the operation of each Receiver to ensure a
high level of operational confidence. If the Receiver fails to operate for any
reason, an alarm occurs.
Figure 1.4 Receiver
1–6
Hugs User Guide
Hugs System Components
Exciters
Exciters monitor the exits from the safe area (usually, the maternity ward).
Installed above or beside a doorway, the Exciter emits a detection field that
covers the opening. When a tag enters the field, it immediately transmits a
special message to the Patient Security Server via the Receivers. In a typical
installation (with door contacts connected to the Exciter), an alarm will only
occur if the door is open, as the infant is then at immediate risk of being
removed without authorization. Once an alarm does occur, an Exit Alarm
message is automatically generated at all PCs.
Each Exciter also includes two relays, which can be used to control a variety of
devices including magnetic door locks or high output alarms. Optional keypads
may be connected to enable staff to remove infants under local password
control.
Exciters may also be placed strategically throughout the hospital to allow the
progress of an abduction attempt to be monitored. For very large openings or
areas, a Master Exciter Range Extender can be used along with an Exciter to
extend coverage. This device is similar to an Exciter in appearance and
functionality.
Like all devices on the LonWorks network, Exciters are continually monitored
by the Patient Security Server, and a warning message is automatically displayed
if there is a problem.

Hugs System Components
Patient Security (PS) Server Software and Workstations
Patient Security Server Software
The Patient Security (PS) Server is a software package installed on a
Microsoft® Windows® based com puter that provides services for Stanley
Healthcare Solutions appli cations. These applications, such as Hugs or
Pedz, are known as clients and require the PS Server in order to run. The
PS Server supports up to 30 concurrent connections (PCs running an
application).
The PS Server automatically updates the status of all tags, and monitors
the opera tion of PS Receivers, Exciters, Clients and other network devices.
All activity, including alarms, is recorded within a database.
The Hugs software can be configured using the PS System Manager to respond
to system events automatically. For example, door locks can be activated during
an alarm or when specific events occur.
The Patient Security Server is fully supervised and automatically updates the
status of tags and monitors the operation of the Receivers, Exciters,
Workstations and other network devices. The software records all activity,
including alarms, within an SQL database. A variety of reports of system activity
can be viewed on screen and printed, and the user can create custom reports.
Workstations
Typically located at a Nurse Station or
at a facility’s Security Station, the
Workstations enable users to view/
manage the list of enrolled Hugs tags.
The Workstation is connected to the
Patient Security Server over a dedicated
local area network (LAN). The
Workstation receives all data
concerning infant status and other
events in real time, through an intuitive
interface that includes customized
maps of the facility. All system events,
such as alarms, are displayed through dialog boxes giving users a clear
description of what has occurred. Only task-critical information is offered. The
software also supports an optional touch-screen interface. User accounts can be
created and permissions assigned according to each facility’s requirements.

ALARMS AND EVENTS
CHAPTER 0
The Hugs system software automatically generates messages when certain
events or alarms occur.
Events are non-urgent reminders. They appear in the Alarms-Events window,
and do not require immediate action. The software continues to operate
normally.
Alarms signal an important risk to the security of the infant, and must be
responded to right away. When an alarm occurs, the Alarms-Events area
appears on the computer display. The software continues to operate, and the
Alarms-Events tabs flash in red until the alarm has been cleared.
This chapter describes the most common alarms and events. Refer to Appendix
A - “Alarm Quick Reference” for a complete list of alarms.
Note
Alarms should only be cleared once the security of the identified infant has been
verified. Facility procedure should be followed when responding to alarms.

Facility Maps
Facility Maps
The settings for the maps and zones will have been completed by your
authorized Hugs dealer.
Maps are used to represent the area covered by the Hugs system. Depending on
the size of the facility, more than one map may be required to provide an
appropriate level of detail. (Icons for a single device can be added to more than
one map.)
When an alarm occurs, the software automatically displays the appropriate map,
and shows the location of the tag in alarm if it is at an Exciter (exit).
Maps must be in the graphical bitmap (.bmp) or JPEG (.jpg) form, and can be
either color or gray scale. For consistent colors across several Hugs system
computers, choose the same number of display colors within each computer.
Zones
Zones are a way of dividing the area covered by the Hugs system into sections,
and customizing the system alarm responses in each section to suit your security
requirements. The benefit is that users in one area only see alarms that occur in
their section.
How Zones work
Each Exciter in the Hugs system is assigned to a Zone. When admitting a tag,
indicate in which Zone the tag is currently located. Then, every time the tag sees
an Exciter, the Zone information is updated automatically. The tag alarms are
only reported to the Zone that the tag has been assigned to during the
admittance procedure.
PCs can also be configured to display alarms from only selected Zones. Staff at
that PC receive immediate notification of the alarm, while staff in other areas are
not disturbed.

Example Response Procedures for Alarms
Auto Discharged Tags
Under certain circumstances, the software automatically discharges a tag from
the system. This is called Auto Discharge, and occurs under one the following
conditions:
a) A tag has been manually admitted, but has not been detected by the
system.
When a tag is manually admitted, the system begins to look for the tag’s
Heartbeat messages. If it does not receive any within 7 minutes the tag
is discharged. (If Supervision Timeout Alarms are enabled and the
Supervision period is set to less than 7 minutes, the tag will be
discharged at the same time as the Supervision Alarm appears in the
Alarm window.)
b) A tag has been in Tamper Alarm condition for over 7 minutes.
After approximately 7 minutes in Tamper mode, the tag automatically
goes to sleep. Since the system is no longer receiving messages from the
tag, it is discharged. To avoid this, it is important to make sure that
the band is properly re-applied when a Tamper Alarm occurs; just
clearing the alarm in the Hugs system software will not fix the
problem.
In both these circumstances, the tag is not being safely monitored, and the
system discharges it and generates the dialog box below. The tag is also
highlighted in gray in the Census List. Notice how the wording below differs
from the standard Discharge dialog box: the tag has already been discharged,
and the user is only being asked to acknowledge that this has occurred.
Note:
Frequent Auto Discharge messages are an indication of improper system use.
Facility procedures should clearly define when and how to manually admit an
infant. In addition, Tamper and all other alarms must be responded to
promptly. Auto-discharged tags stay in the system until they are manually
discharged by the user.
Example Response Procedure
1 Discharge the tag (highlighted in gray in the Census List). See “Discharging
an Infant” on page 4-16.

Admitting an Infant
Admitting an Infant
An infant is automatically admitted into the Hugs system when a band is applied
to the tag on the infant’s ankle. The tag becomes active and automatically sends
an admit message to the Patient Security Server.

tag admittance. The Hugs system software can be configured to admit tags
automatically without generating this dialog box; see “Return Prompt” on
page 4-23.
Note
The Admitted dialog box remains open until the OK button is clicked. However, the
system still monitors the tag during this time.
If your system has been configured to require you to select a Zone for the

ordering a replacement tag. Otherwise, the software will not allow a tag with
that ID number to be enrolled in the system.
This procedure should only be done when the low battery tag has been disposed
of.

Tag Diagnostics
Tag Diagnostics
Tag Diagnostics is used to diagnose issues with Patient Security tags. Data
displayed indicates the relative quality of the transmission and reception of the
Patient Security system.
You can set various parameters to filter the messages, in order to concentrate on
messages from one device or group of devices.
Tag Diagnostics can be used for and not limited to the following:
• Hugs and Kisses tags not matching
• Door not locking down
• Tag Supervision Timeouts on site
• Tag Tamper not working
• Tag Low Battery issues
• Tag banding issues
• Tag not admitting
• Tag auto-discharging
Interpreting Results
The PS tag transmits a variety of status codes depending on what conditions are
occurring at the time of the transmission. These status codes can be displayed
and analyzed in real time using the Tag Diagnostics feature.
Generally, you should note the following:
• The more Receivers that see a Tag’s message, the more coverage you have.
• The higher the RSSI on each message, the stronger the signal being
received.
• If there are NO messages from a given tag, then the system is NOT seeing
the tag.

TESTING
CHAPTER 0
Note
Your facility was thoroughly tested and verified when the Hugs system was
installed, however, it is suggested to perform checks on a regular basis to ensure
optimal performance, as conditions can change over time.
This chapter provides a list of guidelines to follow when checking your Hugs
system. It is recommended to have a Testing Procedure or Preventative
Schedule in place. Check with your dealer if you need assistance creating or
implementing this schedule.
Regular use of the Hugs system should immediately identify any coverage issues.
Hugs User Guide
7–1
Testing Guidelines
Testing Guidelines
Use the following list as a guideline when regularly checking your Hugs system:
Doors
You must test the Exciter and Receiver coverage on a monthly basis to ensure
that all door locks (if configured) and alarms are working properly. See Example
Procedure below:
Example Procedure to Check Doors
1
2
3
Select a tag that will be used only for testing purposes and name it Test Tag.
Use this tag to verify all doors and exits in the protected area.
Run a Report to view the activity for this tag. See “Hugs Tag Alarm
Summary” on page 5-11.
Low Battery List
Low Battery alarms are generated when a tag’s battery power drops below a
certain threshold. You must separate the low-battery tag from tags to be reused,
and inform the System Administrator. Information for the tag ID number must
also be reset. A tag with low battery indication should be removed from use within
48 hours of the alarm.
See “Resetting Low Battery Tags” on page 6-25 for details.
Tag Inventory
Tag usage must be rotated to ensure that the same tags are not being used all the
time. Run a Report to verify Tag Usage. See “Hugs Tag Usage Report” on
page 5-13.

Make sure “This side out” is on the outside, away from the infant’s skin.
Insert the band into the tag slot starting from the bottom of the tag.
Pull through until the brown material extends beyond the slot.
Wrap the tag around the baby’s ankle, with the tag on the outer aspect of the
ankle and insert the loose end of the band into the second tag slot.

Assessing Tag Fit
Assessing Tag Fit
When you apply a tag to the infant, you need to make sure that a secure fit is
obtained. A secure fit is defined as a fit snug enough to prevent the tag from
slipping over the heel while ensuring that the back of the tag maintains light
contact with the infant’s skin.
Procedure:
To assess a tag’s fit
It is recommended that a staff member examine each Hugs tag and tag site
regularly (per hospital policy) for appropriate fit and the absence of any skin
irritation.
• If skin irritation is noted, re-locate the tag site immediately.
• If the Hugs tag appears to be too tight, as evidenced by tag or band
impressions on the infant’s skin or the inability to move the tag on the skin
surface, remove the tag immediately and apply a new band.
• If the Hugs tag appears to be too loose, tighten it by pulling gently on the
band end until the fit is secure.
A–4
Hugs User Guide
Cleaning Tags
Cleaning Tags
The tag is not sterilized at the factory. You may wish to clean it before first use.
The Hugs tag can be cleaned using a soft-bristle brush. For minimal surface
degradation and cracking over time, use the following guidelines:
• First, consult with your Infection Control representative for cleaners
available to your hospital that have been approved for use on plastics.
• Use a disinfectant with no more than 20% alcohol or enzymatic cleaners
with a mild pH such as Enzol or Maxizyme.
• Do not use pathogenic cleaners specified for TB.
• Do not soak the tag.*
• Do not use an autoclave to clean the tag or serious damage may result.
*Note
It is very important to keep the tag from being totally submersed in water since it
completes the electrical circuit thereby falsely admitting the tag! When you remove
the “active” tag from the flowing water, a nuisance alarm triggers.

Maintaining Tags
Maintaining Tags
Storing
• Avoid leaving tags in a detection field for long periods of time as this may
result in false alarms and can significantly reduce battery life.
• Do not store Hugs and Kisses tags together for the first hour after being
discharged, since unintentional bonding may occur.
• Separate low battery tags from tags to be reused.
• The Hugs tags should be stored at room temperature in the shielded bags
provided or in the tag dispenser as shown below. The tags can be stacked
to save space and it provides an easy way to rotate tag usage (tags are placed
in at the top of the dispenser and removed from the bottom).

Maintaining Tags
Battery Status
Hugs Tags
• The Hugs system software automatically displays a Low Battery
notification if the Hugs tag enters a low battery state during use.
• If you do not hear the battery status chime (two short beeps) while
applying the band to the tag, immediately pull the tag from service and
give it to your System Administrator or Dealer for Tag Diagnostics. Apply
a new tag to the infant.
• The front of the Hugs tag shows the warranty date. The tag may have
many months of use after this date, but you should exercise caution when
using a tag out of warranty. Always listen for the battery status chime, and
check that the tag has Auto Admitted in the Hugs system software.
Handling Information
Battery Handling - this device contains a lithium battery. Do not force open,
heat to 212°F (100°C), or dispose of in fire.
X-rays - Do not directly expose the tag to X-rays. (The tag is not affected by
stray radiation.)
MRI - this tag contains metal components and is not approved for use near
MRI.
Hugs User Guide
A–7
Maintaining Tags
Regular Maintenance
Use the following tips to ensure that you get maximum use from the tags:
• Examine tags regularly for physical damage when they are received and
before each use
• Rotate tag usage - last in, last out
• Check the tag’s warranty date on the front of the Hugs tag. The tag may
have many months of use after this date, but you should exercise caution
when using a tag out of warranty. Always listen for the battery status
chime, and check that the tag has Auto Admitted in the Hugs system
software.
Between Uses
Hugs tags must “sleep” for ten (10) minutes between uses. If a Hugs and Kisses
tag have been bonded for any length of time, the Hugs tag must “sleep” for an
hour before being put back into service since the Hugs tag retains its bond
information for one hour after discharge.
Out of Service Tags
When a tag has reached the low battery state or is unfit for use (cracked surface,
past the warranty date etc.), return it to your System Administrator.

Response
1
Check that the Receiver is properly
installed. Single-antenna Receiver:
antenna points downward. Dual-antenna
Receiver: main antenna points
downward, secondary antenna points
away from metal.
2 Generate a Receiver Stats report. This
shows the RSSI, measured every 30
minutes. Check for a pattern in noise
variation. It may be possible to:
a) Identify noise sources, such as new
or mobile equipment. Eliminate
these or;
b) Optimize the RSSI Threshold. Set it
above the highest RSSI recorded in
the last week. Raising the threshold
may reduce Receiver coverage, and
if set too high, effectively disable the
Receiver. Retest coverage after
every change.
3 If coverage is inadequate as a result of
raising the RSSI Threshold, the
Receiver will have to be moved, or
another Receiver added.
Test Receiver coverage in the area of the
indicated Receiver.
The most likely cause is interrupted firmware
download. Download the firmware again. If
the problem persists, replace the Receiver.
Run Auto Configure, and install the Receiver
into the software.
Inspect the Receiver. Check power and
network connections. If these appear normal,
replace the Receiver: contact your dealer or
Stanley Healthcare Solutions.
These alarms auto-clear when the condition
ends. Intermittent alarms may be caused by
temporary conditions, such as unusually high
