 |
In addition to its real-time location system (RTLS) that monitors the location and status of medical equipment throughout the hospital, RadarFind, Raleigh, NC, has expanded its line and also offers a location tracking capability specifically designed to fit cardiac telemetry units. The system includes new asset tracking tags, which can be configured with the hospital’s RTLS to pinpoint the exact location of telemetry units and provide e-mail or pager alerts when the units approach prespecified locations, such as exits. Tracking information is available on any computer or PDA connected to the hospital’s Intranet. To prevent interference with other telemetry frequencies and Wi-Fi networks, the tags operate in the 900 MHz ISM band. Additionally, tags can be put into a maintenance mode within the tracking software if an assigned telemetry device is being repaired.
