How MedSense Works
MedSense is a combination of four easy-to-use wireless devices that monitor and record
compliance performance at point-of-care areas. These devices take advantage of low-power
wireless communication and the latest web technologies to offer you a simple, powerful, and
accurate hand hygiene compliance monitoring solution.
The MedSense Badge
The MedSense Badge, worn like an identity card, collects hand hygiene compliance data as the
healthcare worker delivers care around the hospital.
The MedSense Beacon
The MedSense Beacon is a low-profile, battery-powered device that is placed above a patient
bed or other point of care with a semi-permanent adhesive backing. The Beacon establishes a
wireless patient zone that allows the Badge to identify hand hygiene opportunities.
The MedSense Dispenser Monitor
The MedSense Dispenser Monitor acts as a holster for sanitizer bottles. When a healthcare
worker uses a sanitizer bottle, the Dispenser Monitor signals the user’s Badge, which in turn
records a hand hygiene action.
The MedSense Base
The MedSense Base functions as a wireless base station through which Badges upload
compliance data to MedSense HQ. The Base also functions as a battery charger for the Badge,
capable of charging up to sixteen Badge batteries to full capacity in two hours.
MedSense HQ
MedSense HQ, General Sensing’s cloud-based web application, is what ties all four devices
together.
Setting Up MedSense
Step #1: Registering Your Devices
Log into MedSense HQ and follow prompts to register each component of the MedSense system.
You will need the 8-digit ID numbers found on each device in order to complete the registration
process.
Step #2: Installing and Calibrating your Beacon
1. Locate the Beacon on the wall behind the patient’s bed, or near the center line of the bed.
Keep a clear line of sight between the Beacon and the Badges.
2. Install brackets at heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters, using either the screws or adhesive
provided.
3. Supply power to the Beacon using only the provided power supplies, either by plugging
into the wall or using batteries.
Step #3: Installing your Dispenser Monitor
1. Mount the Dispenser Monitor, either on a table top or using the brackets provided to
anchor it to a vertical surface, such as a wall or bed frame.
2. Insert a 500 mL pump bottle.
Step #4: Setting up your Base Station
1. Locate the Base centrally, such as on a nursing station. Do not place the base within a
metal box, as this will cause connection problems.
2. The base can be mounted on either a table top or on the wall, using the screws provided.
3. Connect the Base station to the Ethernet port using the Ethernet cable provided.
4. The Base is connected once the light turns green.
Step #5: Attaching your Badge
1. Write the health care worker’s name on a label provided and adhere the label to the
Badge.
2. Clip a battery onto the Badge.
3. Locate the Badge on the torso, hanging in portrait mode and facing out, for the most
accurate connection.
4. Placing the Badge in a pocket is not recommended.
Using MedSense
MedSense Beacon
Power
When the Beacon is fully charged and working properly, you will see a blue blinking light. If it
is battery powered, batteries will last approximately six months. A blinking red light means low
power and maintenance is needed promptly.
To change the batteries, remove the Beacon from the wall and unscrew the battery door. Replace
the batteries with six AA batteries, either Alkaline or rechargeable.
Care Instructions
To clean the Beacon, wipe down in place with a cloth.
MedSense Dispenser Monitor
Use
The Dispenser Monitor blinks blue when it detects dispensing soap or alcohol to user.
Power
The expected battery life for the Dispenser Monitor is more than five years.
If the light blinks red when product is dispensed, the battery is low. Maintenance is required to
change two AA batteries.
If no light is flashing when product is dispensed, try cleaning the Dispenser Monitor. If, after
cleaning, it is still not activating, contact maintenance.
Care Instructions
Run water through the top of the device. [Remove pump bottle?]
MedSense Base
Charging Batteries
The Base can charge up to sixteen Badge batteries to full capacity in two hours.
Individual indicator lights on each battery slot indicate charging status. A blinking blue light
means a battery is charging, with a solid blue light indicating a fully charged battery.
Base Connection Status
1. Base Station Online ............................................................................Green, Solid
2. Base Station Attempting to Connect ...................................................Amber, Solid
3. User Attention Required ...................................................................Green, Blinking
4. Base Station Internal Error ...........................................................Amber, Blinking
Troubleshooting
LED State: Solid Amber
Status: Base Station Attempting to Connect
Explanation:
Your Base Station is trying to connect to MedSense servers on the Internet. The Base Station
will go through this step during normal operation, but it should transition to Online (solid
green) after about 8 seconds. If the solid amber state persists, then there is a problem.
Steps to correct:
1. Check to make sure that your router is properly connected to the Internet. You can do this
by checking the status lights on your router or by trying to bring up a web page on a
computer connected to the Internet through the router.
2. If your router IS NOT properly connected to the Internet, contact your Internet Service
Provider or the manufacturer of your router.
If your router IS properly connected to the Internet, make sure that your Base Station is
connected as specified in the typical network diagram on p. X.
If you are still experiencing this error after executing the troubleshooting steps above, contact
customer support.
LED State: Blinking Green*
Status: User Attention Required
Explanation: Ethernet cable is plugged in, but Base Station cannot get an IP address.
Steps to correct:
1. Check that router is functioning normally. If your router is not functioning normally,
reset the router by disconnecting the router power source for 10 seconds and then
reconnecting.
2. The Base Station may need advanced Ethernet configuration to run on your network. Go
to MedSense HQ to help configure your Base Station.
If you are still experiencing this error after executing the troubleshooting steps above, contact
customer support.
LED State: Blinking Amber*
Status: Internal error
Explanation: An internal error has occurred.
Step to correct:
1) Reset your Base Station by disconnecting the power source. Wait 5 seconds, then reconnect
the power source.
If you are still experiencing this error after executing the troubleshooting step above, contact
customer support.
*Your Base Station will attempt to restart itself after 10 seconds in this state.
Care Instructions
Wipe down in place with a damp cloth.
MedSense Badge
Use
The Badge will automatically upload data to MedSense HQ when in range of a Base. The Badge
will vibrate as a reminder to perform hand hygiene when an opportunity is about to be missed.
When outside of the MedSense-equipped areas, the Badge goes into standby mode.
The battery life is approximately one work week and should be swapped out when a low battery
indicator is shown.
LED Status
