Product Usage Instructions
System Description
The SwipeSense System combines point-of-care hand hygiene with
real-time usage data to improve compliance with infection control
procedures. The system includes the following components:
- Badges worn by employees
- Asset tags attached to tracked assets
- Hygiene sensors mounted to hygiene dispensers to track hand
sanitation frequency - Entry sensors installed in door thresholds to provide real-time
feedback - Location hubs to monitor employee presence in patient rooms and
asset locations - Communication hub to collect and transmit data to the
cloud
Once the data is uploaded to the cloud, it can be accessed by
administrators.
Product Description
The Location Hub Model 521.0 is a wall-mounted device placed
inside patient and non-patient areas. It measures the signal
strength of nearby badges and transmits the information to the
communication hub for processing. It also acts as a powered relay
node for Hygiene and Entry Sensors installed beyond the range of
the communication hub alone.
For a visual reference, please refer to Figure 1 in the user
manual.

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.
Our fully integrated system seamlessly provides real-time hand hygiene data from across the enterprise with exceptional clarity. The SwipeSense System creates a “mesh network” that provides flexibility for compiling and communicating hygiene practices of employees within your facility. The mesh network is comprised of:
Badges worn on individual employees Asset tags attached to assets that should be tracked Hygiene sensors mounted to hygiene dispensers tracks 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 to the cloud.
Once the data is uploaded to the cloud, it is accessible to all administrators.

Product Description
This is a wall-mounted device that is placed inside each of the patient areas and non-patient areas. This device measures signal strength of badges located near it and transmits the information to the communication hub for processing. It also functions as a powered relay node for Hygiene and Entry Sensors installed beyond the range of the communication hub alone. A picture of an installed Location Hub is provided in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Installed Location Hub
Installation Procedure
Proper usage of the Location Hub is dependent upon proper placement within the designated room. This is identified by choosing a location within the room that a healthcare provider will be facing when interacting with the patient.
1. If the Location Hub is not pre-assigned: a. Identify the best outlet/power supply by following the “Location Optimization” guide below. b. Record the serial number and add the Location Hub to the Unit Device Map, ensuring placement on the map reflects the chosen outlet location.
2. Use the pre-applied mounting tape and bracket to ensure solid connectivity to the power outlet. 3. Make sure the Location Hub is aligned correctly, so that the blue LED light is pointed towards
the ceiling.
NOTE: Install either in the top outlet for two outlet fixtures or the top left outlet for four outlet fixtures.
4. The blue light will slowly blink once it is communicating with the communication hub.

Location Optimization
If a comprehensive assessment has not been completed, identify the outlet/power supply as needed. Refer to Figure 2, for a diagram identifying the best options, which are the ones closest to the patient. Choose locations:
with a clear line of sight of the patient, that the healthcare provider is likely to face while interacting with the patient, avoid obstructions like medical or patient equipment and belongings, and that are not in the corners which will reduce the monitoring field of the Location Hub.
