New Borns Protected Against Kidnapping, Mix-Ups

January 1, 2007


The Hugs system is the leading electronic security system to deter abductions of infants from hospital obstetric and pediatric departments. A small tamper-proof tag is placed on the infant, which is automatically enrolled in the system the moment it is attached and the tag reports to the system every ten seconds. The facility has a designated “safe area” where infants are normally located, and they may be moved freely within this area. Door monitors protect all exits of the safe area. As soon as a tagged infant comes near an exit, an alarm occurs showing the specific tag and its exact location. And with the special tamper-proof strap, an alarm immediately occurs if anyone attempts to cut off the tag. There is also a Kisses mother/infant matching option, which makes the Hugs system the only product to offer automatic audible indication that nurses have the right mother matched with the right baby when the two are brought together.
