System Description

The SwipeSense System combines point-of-care hand hygiene with
real-time usage data to eliminate dependency on manual observations
and increase compliance with infection control procedures.

The system consists of the following components:

Badges worn on individual employees
Asset tags attached to assets that should be tracked
Hygiene sensors mounted to hygiene dispensers to track employee
hand sanitation frequency
Entry sensors installed in door thresholds to provide real-time
feedback
Location hubs monitor employee presence in patient rooms and
asset locations
Communication hub located on each unit collects the data
generated within the network and transmits it to the cloud.

Once the data is uploaded to the cloud, it is accessible to all
administrators.

Product Description

This is a multi-functional device that can be paired with either
a Magnetic Baseplate (721.0) creating a Hygiene Sensor or paired
with an Entry Baseplate (731.0) creating an Entry Sensor (Figure
1).

Product Description
This is multi-functional device that can be paired with either a Magnetic Baseplate (721.0) creating a Hygiene Sensor, or paired with an Entry Baseplate (731.0) creating an Entry Sensor (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Hygiene Sensor (left) and Entry Sensor (right) The assembled Hygiene Sensor (HS) is designed to be installed on the side of a sanitizer or soap dispenser. After installing a magnet inside the dispenser, the HS is able to monitor for the movement of this magnet detecting dispense activity. Specific mounting location and magnet type and position vary from dispenser to dispenser, so please refer to the specific build guide for any specific dispenser you are using. The assembled Entry Sensor (ES) is designed to be normally installed on a door frame to monitor for providers entering or exiting a room and issue a real time natural language voice reminder if hand hygiene is not performed in a timely manner. The ES can also be installed on the side of a sanitizer or soap dispenser like a HS if there is a dispenser placed at the threshold to a room, allowing the ES to perform double duty.

Installation Procedure
The Hygiene Sensor (or Entry Sensor functioning as dual roles) requires a minimum clearance of 3 inches to the side of the hygiene dispenser for proper installation. If this is not available, the existing dispenser will need to be removed and re-installed to allow for the Hygiene Sensor.
Whether left, right, or both sides of the dispenser are eligible for Hygiene Sensor placement depends on the specific dispenser.
To install a Sensor on a dispenser:
1. If the Sidecar is not pre-assigned for a specific location, record the serial number and add the device to the Unit Device Map, ensuring placement on the map reflects the dispenser location.
2. Wipe down the side of the dispenser and let dry to remove oil and debris. 3. Install the Sensor to the side of the dispenser using double sided tape. Refer to the build guide
for the specific dispenser to get the correct location. 4. Install a magnet inside the dispenser. Refer to the build guide for the specific dispenser to get
the correct magnet type and installation method.
The Entry Sensor requires an unobstructed view of the threshold into a patient room, so that a provider entering or exiting the room passes in front of the optical sensor. If the Entry Sensor is not being installed on a dispenser:
1. If the Sidecar is not pre-assigned for a specific location, record the serial number and add the device to the Unit Device Map, ensuring placement on the map reflect the dispenser location.
2. Wipe down the target install location and let dry to remove oil and debris. 3. Install the Entry Sensor on, or next to, the doorframe using double sided tape.
