Warranty
Kisses Tags are warranted to be free of manufacturing
defects and perform according to the published
specifications at the time they are put in service as
set out in the operating instructions. Because Kisses
tags are battery powered, NO SPECIFIC LIFE IS
GUARANTEED. Stanley is not responsible for
warranty service should the Kisses label or logo or the
serial number be removed or should the Kisses tag fail
to be properly maintained or fail to function properly
as a result of misuse, abuse, neglect, improper shipping
or any premature exposure of the tag to light other
than removal from the packaging with the intent of
activating the tag.
Limitation of Liability
This Product has been designed for use to assist in the
prevention of mother/infant mismatching incidents.
The range, accuracy, function and performance of this
Product may vary from the published specifications
due to many factors, including, but not limited to, site

or mismatch incidents, nor does Stanley guarantee that
this Product will be free from returning false reports of
mother/infant matches or mismatch incidents.
Monthly testing and maintenance of this Product, as
described in the Product documentation, is essential to
verify the system is operating correctly and to ensure that
the probability of detecting an alarm and/or locating the
transmitter are maximized.
The failure to undertake regular testing and mainte-
nance will increase the risk of system failure and failure
to detect mother/infant matches or mismatch incidents.
The failure to undertake regular testing and mainte-
nance will increase the risk of false reports of mother/
infant matches or mismatch incidents.

Kisses® Tag for Wi-Fi Hugs® User Sheet
Instructions for the Kisses® Tag for Wi-Fi Hugs®
Introduction
The Kisses tag is part of the Kisses mother/
infant matching component of the Wi-Fi
Hugs® and Kisses infant protection
system. It is designed to confirm that the
correct infant is matched with the cor-
rect mother each time they are brought
together.
“Bonding” occurs by bringing the Kisses
tag in close proximity to the Hugs tag
within one hour after the Hugs tag is
applied to the infant. The Kisses tag is
then applied to the mother’s wrist using
the Kisses band. The tags remain bonded
throughout the mother’s and infant’s stay
in the hospital.
Nurses are alerted with an audible indica-
tor that immediately confirms the match
or mismatch of infant and mother when
the two are brought together, even if there
are other infants in the room.
Activation and Use
The Kisses tag must be put into service by
the date printed on the package. The tag is
light activated and will operate for 90 days
after it has been removed from the package.
After 90 days, the tag will indicate a low
battery as follows:
• If the tag is currently bonded with a
Hugs tag, the low battery light flashes.
A Kisses Low Battery Alarm, which
appears in the software, is monitored
by staff. The tag continues to oper-
ate normally and does not have to be
removed from the patient.
• If the tag’s low battery light is flashing
and it is not currently bonded with a
Hugs tag, it must be removed from
service. A low battery Kisses tag cannot
be bonded with a Hugs tag.
Please save all expired tags and return to your
authorized distributor for recycling!
Bonding the Tags
The Hugs tag and Kisses tag can be bonded
any time within the one-hour period after
the Hugs tag is applied to the infant.
1 Apply the Hugs tag to the infant.
2 With no other Kisses tags in the area,
bring the Kisses tag within 12 inches of
the Hugs tag.
3 The Hugs tag gives a bonding indication
within a few seconds:
• 2 short beeps, 1 long beep: successful
bond
• Persistent long beeps: no bond. The
Kisses tag has a low battery or is already
bonded with another tag. Use a different
Kisses tag.
• No beep: no bond. Make sure that no
other Kisses tags are within 2 feet.
If the bond is successful, apply the Kisses tag
to the mother’s wrist using the Kisses band.
If the Tags Aren’t Bonding...
• Make sure that the tags are no more than
12 inches apart, and that no other Kisses
tags are within 2 feet.
• Try bonding in a location a few feet away.
• Try bonding with a different Kisses tag.
• If bonding is not successful, discharge the
Hugs tag and try a new Hugs tag.
Matching the Tags
“Matching” means confirming that the
right infant has been brought to the right
mother. The Hugs tag generates a mismatch
indication if you have the wrong infant.
1 Bring the Hugs tag and Kisses tag within
12 inches of each other.
2 Listen for a mismatch warning (persis-
tant long beeps). If there is no warning,
then it’s a match.
3 If there is a mismatch indication, then
the two tags do not belong to each other.
Follow your hospital’s procedure for cor-
recting a mismatch.
.......................................................................................
Note: The Hugs tag will only conrm a cor-
rect match if the infant has been away from
the mother for 30 minutes.
Discharge and Reuse
How to discharge a Kisses tag:
• Discharge the Hugs tag. The Kisses tag
is automatically discharged from the
Hugs system.
• Use the Discharge Kisses Tag feature.
The Hugs tag remains active in the Hugs
system.
The Hugs tag retains its bond information
for one hour after discharge; do not reuse it
within this period. Ensure the Kisses tag is
cleaned before reusing on another mother.
Store clean tags in the Kisses rack, following
the “first in, first out” method so that tags
are cycled regularly.
Cleaning the Tag
Note: The tag is not sterilized at the factory.
You may wish to clean it before rst use.
The Kisses tag can be cleaned using a soft-
bristle brush. Follow these guidelines for
cleaning the tag between uses:
• First, consult with your Infection Control
representative for cleaners available to
your hospital that have been approved
for use on plastics.
• Use a disinfectant containing less than
20% alcohol or enzymatic cleaners with
a mild pH. For example:
• Enzol®
• Maxizyme®
• Sani-Wipes® (NOT CaviWipes™)
• Clorox® Wipes
• Virex® Spray (NOT Virex® TB)
• Do not use pathogenic cleaners specified
for TB.
• Do not soak the tag.
• Do not use an autoclave to clean the tag .
Battery
The Kisses tag uses one non-replaceable
battery (Model CR2450, electrical rating
3V, 280 mAh), located on the bottom side
of the case, labelled “Battery.” The red Low
Battery light flashes 90 days after the tag has
been removed from the box.
Do not force open, heat to 100°C, or dispose
of the battery in fire.

X-rays. (The tag is not affected by stray
