Patient Safeguard System – Healthcare Worker Badge User’s Guide                                       UltraClenz, LLC Page 4 1.Healthcare Worker (HWC) Badge FAS1509 1.0  Introduction to the System The Patient Safeguard System (PSS) was designed to help Healthcare Workers (HCW) protect their patients from the unintentional spread of pathogens. This is achieved by providing a tool to remind HCWs to perform hand hygiene when the opportunities are presented.  Hand hygiene opportunities, in a patient care environment, are defined as instances when hand hygiene should be performed to reduce or eliminate a patient’s exposure to harmful or even deadly pathogens carried on the HCW’s hands.  These patient care hand hygiene opportunities are described in detail by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) “Your 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene”.   PSS software provides HCWs with real-time feedback when hand hygiene opportunities occur and will also provide a warning when hand hygiene opportunities are missed or ignored.  The real-time data can be viewed at a designated computer terminal or a tablet running the PSS application software. PSS may also be configured to monitor and assess the hand hygiene performance of HCWs on either a group or individual basis.  By assessing how well a HCW recognizes and engages in hand hygiene opportunities, the HCW will receive feedback that lets them know how well they’re doing.  This feedback can then be used to establish performance benchmarks and goals.  HCW performance can then be tracked over time, measured against these benchmarks and goals to assess overall compliance to identify specific areas where improvement is needed.  Ultimately, the purpose of PSS is to provide HCWs with a tool that allows them to improve upon, and then maintain, high levels of hand hygiene performance, thus providing a safer environment for their patients and themselves.   2.0  System Components  PSS consists of 4 basic components; a HCW badge, a soap/sanitizer dispenser beacon, a patient bed beacon and a patient bed antenna.  These components work together to form a system that will allert HCWs when hand hygiene needs to occur or alarm them when hand hygiene failed to occur.                    2.1  Healthcare Worker (HWC) Badge The badge is worn by HCWs, such as doctors and nurses, however, healthcare facilities may choose to assign badges to therapists, visitors, students or any persons with patient contact. It is through the badge that the HCW is made aware, in real-time, of their hand hygiene status.  The badge achieves this by providing both visual and audible status alerts.  The badge’s visual alerts are provided by three visual indicator LED's located just behind the badge’s clear window (see Figure 1).  Only one visual indicator will  flash at a time , with a flash occuring once every 1.5 seconds.   3.Patient Bed Beacon FAS1511 2.Soap/Sanitizer Dispenser Beacon FAS1510
Patient Safeguard System – Healthcare Worker Badge User’s Guide                                       UltraClenz, LLC Page 5 Each indicator LED (green, yellow and red) represents the current level or state of the HCW’s hand hygiene compliance.  Each badge has a uniquie programmed identification adress.  For group monitoring, badges are not assigned to a particular HCW. For individual monitoring, badges are assigned to a designated HCW.                    The GREEN LED (see Figure 2) indicates a SANITARY state which occurs when a HCW  has recently used a soap/sanitizer dispenser .The soap/sanitizer dispenser must have a beacon attached to achieve a sanitary state.  The YELLOW LED (see Figure 2) indicates a CAUTIONARY state which occurs when a  HCW is currently in a patient zone or has recently come in contact with a patient.  It may also indicate that the HCWs has not used a soap/sanitizer dispenser within the last 20 minutes.  Please note that this is only a cautionary state and it does not imply noncompliance. The HCW must use of a soap/sanitizer dispenser before patient contact to remain compliant with the system’s hand hygiene requirements.  The RED LED (see Figure 2) indicates a WARNING state which occurs when a HCW comes in contact with more than one patient without using a soap/sanitizer dispenser between patient contacts.  It may also indicate that the HCW has not used a soap/sanitizer dispenser within 5 minutes after leaving a patient zone.  When a HCW’s badge is in the warning state (red  flashing LED), it is possible that they may have already spread pathogens from one patient to another.  They should use a soap/sanitizer dispenser immediately and avoid contact with everyone until proper hand hygiene has occurred.    The audible alert is generated by a piezoelectric sounder located behind the badge’s audio port opening (see Figure 1).  The piezoelectric sounder is basically a very small speaker that produces pleasant sounding beeps and chimes.  These beeps and chimes occur when the badge’s state is changing or when the badge is in the warning state.  The badge placement is not critical with respect to system detection, however the clear window is designed so the HCW and patient can view the current badge status.   Figure 2.

Patient Safeguard System – Healthcare Worker Badge User’s Guide                                       UltraClenz, LLC Page 6 3.0  How the System Works When a Healthcare Worker (HCW) begins their shift, they will attach an assigned badge to their clothing in a location above the waist that is clearly visible to HCW as well as others.  The badge will be dormant with no blinking LED visible.  This is normal because the badge will go into a “sleep” state to conserve battery power when not in use for a period of 30 minutes or more.  The first thing the HCW will do, after attaching their badge, is wash or sanitize their hands.  The dispenser beacon attached to the soap/sanitizer dispenser will communicate with the badge when the dispenser is activated.  Even though the badge is in a sleep state, it is always listening and the dispenser beacon’s communication will wake it up.  The badge will produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third tones.  This indicates successful communications between the badge and the dispenser beacon.   The badge will then be set to the sanitary or clean state with the green LED blinking about once every 1.5 seconds.  The HCW is now ready to begin their normal work routine.  When the badge is set to the sanitary state, the badge starts an internal timer.  If there is no interaction between the HCW and a dispenser or patient bed, the timer will continue to increment.  If the timer reaches 20 minutes, the badge will automatically change from the sanitary state to the cautionary state.  When this transition occurs, the badge will produce 2 quick beep tones with both having the same pitch.  This indicates to the HCW that the badge has automatically changed state.  The badge’s yellow LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds.  The cautionary state does not imply a violation of hand hygiene protocol.  In this case, it is indicating to the HCW and anyone else able to see the badge’s yellow LED that the HCW has not washed or sanitized their hands for at least 20 minutes and that they may not approach a patient until doing so.  If the HCW does approach a patient while in the cautionary state, this event will be considered a violation of hand hygiene protocol and the badge will change from the cautionary state to the warning state.  The badge will produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third tones.  This indicates successful communications between the badge and the bed beacon located within the patient zone.  The badge’s red LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds.  Immediately after changing to the warning state, the badge will produce a rapid burst of 4 tones with each having a different pitch.  This will be repeated 4 more times over the next 20 seconds and will indicate to the HCW that they must wash/sanitize their hands immediately.  If the HCW approaches a patient while in the sanitary state, the badge will change to the cautionary state.  The badge will produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third tones.  This indicates successful communications between the badge and the bed beacon located within the patient zone.  The badge’s yellow LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds.  The cautionary state does not imply a violation of hand hygiene protocol.  In this case, it is indicating to the HCW and anyone else able to see the badge’s yellow LED that the HCW is currently in contact with a patient or has had contact with a patient within the last 5 minutes.  While the HCW is inside the patient zone, their badge will remain in the cautionary state.  When the HCW leaves the patient zone, the badge starts an internal timer.  If there is no interaction between the HCW and a dispenser, after leaving the patient zone, the timer will continue to increment.  If the timer reaches 5 minutes, the badge will automatically change from the cautionary state to the warning state.  When this transition occurs, the badge will produce 2 quick beep tones with both having the same pitch.  This indicates to the HCW that the badge has automatically changed state.  Immediately after changing to the warning state, the badge will produce a rapid burst of 4 tones with each having a different pitch.  This will be repeated 4 more times over the next 20 seconds and will indicate to the HCW that they must wash/sanitize their hands immediately.  A HCW may contact a patient, leave the patient zone briefly and then re-contact the same patient without washing/sanitizing their hands.  However, the HCW may not re-contact the patient without first using a soap/sanitizer dispenser if they are outside of the patient zone for more than 1 minute.  As long as the HCW remains inside the patient zone, their badge will remain in the cautionary state.  When the HCW leaves the patient zone, the badge starts an internal timer.  If there is no interaction between the HCW and a dispenser, after leaving the patient zone, the timer will continue to increment.  If the HCW then reenters the patient zone and the internal timer has not reached 1 minute, the badge will remain in the cautionary state and the internal timer will be reset.  However, if the HCW reenters the patient zone and the internal timer has reached or passed 1 minute, the badge
Patient Safeguard System – Healthcare Worker Badge User’s Guide                                       UltraClenz, LLC Page 7 will change to the warning state.  The badge will produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third tones.  This indicates successful communications between the badge and the bed beacon located within the patient zone.  The badge’s red LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds.  Immediately after changing to the warning state, the badge will produce a rapid burst of 4 tones with each having a different pitch.  This will be repeated 4 more times over the next 20 seconds and will indicate to the HCW that they must wash/sanitize their hands immediately.  A HCW may not go from one patient zone to another without washing/sanitizing in-between.  While a HCW is in a patient zone, their badge will be in the cautionary state.  When they leave the patient zone, their badge will remain in the cautionary state for up to 5 minutes beyond which time their badge will automatically change to the warning state or until they wash/sanitize at which time their badge will then change to the sanitary state.  If the HCW leaves a patient zone and then enters a different patient zone without first interacting with a soap/sanitizer dispenser, the badge will change from the cautionary state to the warning state.  The badge will produce 3 quick beep tones with the second tone being lower in pitch than the first or third tones.  This indicates successful communications between the badge and the bed beacon located within the patient zone.  The badge’s red LED will then blink about once every 1.5 seconds.  Immediately after changing to the warning state, the badge will produce a rapid burst of 4 tones with each having a different pitch.  This will be repeated 4 more times over the next 20 seconds and will indicate to the HCW that they must wash/sanitize their hands immediately.  Below is a table that compares the various badge states.     State Index  Badge State  LED Color  Description Next Action 0 SANITARY GREEN HCW has recently used a soap/sanitizer dispenser.  May freely enter a patient zone. 1 CAUTIONARY YELLOW HCW is in sanitary contact with a patient or has recently had sanitary contact with a patient but not yet used a soap/sanitizer dispenser. Wash/Sanitize hands immediately after leaving patient zone. Do not enter a different patient zone. 2 WARNING RED HCW has had contact with more than one patient without using a soap/sanitizer dispenser between contacts. Leave patient zone immediately and wash/sanitize hands. 3 WARNING RED HCW had contact with patient, left patient zone for more than 1 minute and then reentered same patient zone without using a soap/sanitizer dispenser between contacts. Leave patient zone immediately and wash/sanitize hands. 4 CAUTIONARY YELLOW HCW was in the sanitary state for more than 20 minutes without using a soap/sanitizer dispenser. Wash/sanitize hands before entering a patient zone. 5 WARNING RED HCW was in the cautionary state for more than 5 minutes after leaving a patient zone without using a soap/sanitizer dispenser. Wash/Sanitize hands immediately. Do not enter a patient zone. Table 1 - HCW Badge States

For best performance, the badge should be worn above the waist in a location that is clearly visible to the HCW as well as the patients and other healthcare staff.  The badge was designed to easily attach to a lanyard or a vinyl strap and clip.  Both attachment methods are commonly used by HCWs to carry credentials such as identification and RFID cards.  For convenience, the badge was also designed so that a HCW’s credentials may be attached to the base of the badge with a vinyl strap (see Figure 5).

A mixture of 90% water and 10% chlorine (bleach) or water and mild detergent (dish soap) may be used.  The cloth should be damp but not wet.  Only the exterior of each component may be cleaned.  Do not attempt to clean any interior surface of a component as this will damage the component’s circuitry.  Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products in aerosol cans as they will damage the component’s finish.   Handling the Badge The badge is an electronic device and should be handled with care.  Like other electronic devices such as a cell phone, the badge must be protected from extreme heat, cold and moisture.  Avoid handling the badge with wet hands or exposing it to rain. Avoid dropping or tossing the badge.  The shock can damage the badge’s sensitive internal electronics.

Observe and verify the sequential LED functions below.  If the PCB fails any of the steps below, set it aside for inspection and rework.  1.  As the PCB powers up, it performs a power on self test (POST). The red, yellow and green LED will flash once each in consecutive order.  This test will verify that the LEDs are working.  See Figure 12 for LED locations.  2.  The PCB will then tune the X, Y and Z antennas (L1).  The green LED will flash several times as the X antenna is tuned. Then the yellow LED will flash several times as the Y antenna is tuned. Finally, the red LED will flash several times as the Z antenna is tuned.   NOTE: During the antenna tuning process, if a short beep is heard after any one of the X, Y or Z antenna tuning cycles (green, yellow or red LED flash), the corresponding antenna did not tune properly. Typical reasons for failure include incorrect capacitor values for any of C1 to C5 or an unconnected lead on L1.    3.  After the antennas have tuned, the green and yellow LEDs will alternately flash back and forth while tuning U1’s internal RC oscillator.     NOTE: If a failure occurs, the red LED will flash twice along with 2 short beeps from the piezo.  This rarely happens and the cause is usually poor soldering of U1.   4. A long chime will then be heard to conclude the POST.  This chime will verify the operation of the piezo.  5.  Once the POST has completed, the green LED will blink once every 1.5 seconds to indicate normal operation.
