CENTRAK PROBE-BASED TEMPERATURE

SENSORTAGRIT-735P

Hospitals have a critical need for wireless monitoring of environmental fluctuations. They

require reliable real time monitoring and alerting capabilities as well as comprehensive

records of sensor data for reporting and analysis purposes. CenTrak’s advanced

temperature sensing technology was developed to meet those needs.

The IT-735 is a probe-based temperature sensing tag that has the ability to monitor a wide

range of temperatures, from cryogenic (-200C) to room temperature (+50C), reliably and

accurately with customizable reporting rates down to 12 seconds at 0.75C accuracy. It is

available for use with three specific temperature range probes : -20C to +50C (ITA-781),

-100 to -20C (ITA-782), and -200 to -100C (ITA-783)

The IT¬735 Tag creates a cost effective way to improve patient care as well as provide

automated and detailed reports for any time period. In conjunction with the CenTrak RTLS

this single Tag can be used to track, locate, identify and ensure correct temperature levels

and can generate alerts via email/SMS when the temperature goes above or below set

parameters. The system can also provide temperature logs which eliminate human error

and the cost of manual temperature documentation.

Tags send temperature readings in intervals specified by the user (e.g., every one minute). The

battery powered tags will even continue to monitor temperature and send a local alert in the

event of a power outage. Tags provide an automated and accurate solution that improves

regulatory compliance and saves time so that staff can focus on patient care and safety.

About CenTrak Technology

CenTrak’s core RTLS differs from legacy technologies in its use of a patented combination of

second-generation infrared (Gen2IR™) and active RFID technology called DualTrak. Battery

powered Monitors transmit a unique room number using Gen2IR which is received by any tag

in that room. The tag communicates the room number and its own unique ID via RF to the

CenTrak Location Server using a hospital’s existing wired or Wi-Fi network, where it can be

accessed in real-time by hospital personnel and integrated with third party solution providers.

Like light, Gen2IR will not pass through walls and does not suffer from traditional infrared

line-of-sight limitations. Therefore, when a tag reads a room number, there are no errors.

This is certainty-based RTLS. Unlike estimation-based information, certainty-based location

data can be used by hospitals to make important improvements to process flow and

automate decision making. Most healthcare workflow improvements can only be realized

when the location data is certainty-based.

CENTRAK PROBE-BASED TEMPERATURE SENSOR

TAG IT-735 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

This component complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) The device may not cause harmful interference,

and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Modifying or tampering with the

transceiver’s or receiver’s internal components can cause a malfunction, invalidate the warranty, and will void FCC authorization to use these products. This

product or its systems are covered by one or more of the following U.S. patents: 5,917,425 , 7,061,428 , 7,378,964

InTouch Care Operation Instruction

Introduction

InTouch Care is an Active RFID tracking system. The system is comprised of four basic

elements:

1. TAGS – The TAGs are battery operated and are comprised of an RF Transceiver

and a few peripheral components. The TAGs are small devices with about 1” X

2” foot print. They are typically attached to assets or people that need to be

tracked.

2. Spiders – The Spiders are also battery operated and are equipped with similar to

the TAG RF transceiver and other peripheral components. Unlike TAGs, Spiders

are not mobile. They are typically attached to either ceilings or walls. Their

function is to improve the localization capability of the system.

3. STARs – The STARs are operated either using an external power supply or a

POE power supply within the device. STARs are also equipped with essentially

identical RF section to both the TAGs and the Spiders. The STARs are also

equipped with a LAN chip for communication with the server.

4. Server – The servers can be either local or can be connected directly to any

Internet server. The Servers are in direct communication with the STARs.

InTouch RFID Network high level architecture looks as follows:

STAR Installation and Operation

Installation

Stars should be installed as high as possible. It is preferred to attach them to the ceiling

upside down such that the antennas point downward. The antennas should be positioned

at 90 degrees to each other and perpendicular to each other. Stars can be fed through one

of two methods:

1. Power Over Ethernet (POE) or

2. External 3.3 volts power supply.

The STAR must be connected to the LOCAL AREA Network (LAN) which must be

connected to InTouch Server.

Operation

The STAR communicates with all InTouch Components and is responsible to

communicate information it receives to and from InTouch server. InTouch network can

support up to 128 STARs

Maintenance

STAR malfunction is immediately sensed by the InTouch Server. The Network needs to

be tested for before it is determined that the SART fails. In case, a STAR malfunctions it

should be replaced with one in inventory.

FCC NOTICE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

• The carrier frequency is 904MHz – 926MHz.

• The RF output power (or field strength and measurement distance) is less than one

milliwatt.

TAG Operation

Installation

In order to initiate a TAG the user must install a battery in the TAG. The preferred

battery is CR 2335 that is enclosed in the TAG package. Other alternatives are CR2330

and CR2032. Both of the alternate batteries need a plastic shim that is included in the

package. There is no on/off button on the TAG and it will start operation as soon as the

battery is inserted. Also enclose in a pack of 10 TAGs a special tool to open and close the

battery door.

Operation

There are five buttons on the TAG: The three buttons on top are used to signal the server

a push button. The meaning of each button is programmable by the user on the PC level.

There are two buttons on the bottom. One is a theft detection button. When the TAG is

affixed to an asset the button is pressed in. If would be thief tries to remove the TAG

from the asset the button is released and a message is sent immediately to the server. The

second button is a reset button that allows a restart of the TAG in case, the TAG stops

operation due to shock or a voltage spike.

Maintenance

The batteries last about four years. The replacement process follows the same instructions

to install batteries.
