SYSTEM 100 USER GUIDE
Thank you for selecting InnerSpace’s System 100™ to secure, track and manage your high cost
clinical supplies. System 100 consists of a cart with integrated RFID technology and biometric
access control, an enrollment station, a hand-held RFID reader, a hand-held barcode scanner,
RFID tags and a web-based information engine (marketed under the brand name spaceTRAX®).
Access to the cart is controlled and monitored via a biometric security system. RFID tags are
affixed to the outside package of clinical supplies and linked with the item’s barcode. RFID
antennae embedded in the cart’s shelves are constantly communicating with the RFID tags to track
the disposition, location, and expiration date of supplies. Coupling biometric security and RFID
technology connects the “Who”, “What”, “When” and “Where” which are essential elements in
achieving 100% charge capture.

7.0 spaceTRAX Information Engine
7.1 RFID Tags
System 100 RFID tags are small, adhesive backed tags that fit easily on the
outside package of most high-cost clinical supplies such as drug eluting stents,
ICDs, heart valves, orthopedic implants, implantable pain stimulators and etc.
System 100 utilizes a technology that requires passive high frequency RFID tags.
Passive tags do not require a power source or battery as they derive their energy
from the RFID reader.
Avoid contact with strong electromagnetic fields (MRI), do not crumple or tear
RFID tags.
7.2 Applying and Associating RFID Tags
Apply the RFID tags to the side of the item that will have direct contact with the
shelf.
There are two ways of associating items with RFID tags. The first is the most
common; when an item is added to the system and has the “RFID Required” box
checked, the normal ‘Add’ process will prompt for an RFID tag after the barcode
scan. Reading the RFID tag at that point will associate the unique .
The second way of associating items is after they have already been added.
Navigate to the item summary for the item and go into the current inventory tab,
then click on the ‘Details’ link. Click ‘Add New’ in the menu, fill in the details, and
then scan the new tag to associate it.
If at any time an RFID tag gets lost, broken, torn, or in any other way malfunctions
use the second method of adding an RFID tag to replace the missing and/or
malfunctioning tag.
7.3 Adding/Removing Tagged Items
Place the package so that the RFID tag is within 3 inches of the shelf. Make sure
not to block the ‘line of sight’ for the radio signal by covering the tag with metal, foil
or liquid barriers. This includes stacking items that use any of the aforementioned
barriers as packaging.
All items removed from the cart are tracked automatically by communication
between the RFID reader, antenna array and RFID tags.
No additional procedures are required when returning an unused tagged item to
the cart, the system will reconcile the inventory automatically. Make sure that
ALL items that are removed from the carts are either used or are replaced in
a timely fashion. Failure to do so will leave the system unable to reconcile
the missing items.
Assigning used (tagged) items to a patient or case is exactly the same as adding a
non-RFID item. The only thing to remain aware of is that for 100% accuracy in
your inventory it is important that RFID items be scanned out with an RFID
scanner and not a barcode scanner. While barcode scanners will work, the
uniqueness of the RFID tags makes them much more reliable in accurately
tracking inventory.
7.4 Available Reports
An RFID report called ‘RFID Summary’ will be available in the spaceTRAX
website that will track the cart contents, missing items, any unassociated items,
and general cart usage.

7.5 Enrolling Authorized Users
Use the enrollment device to scan each cart user’s fingerprint once. After the scan
the fingerprint is transformed into a non-reconstitutable mathematical algorithm
that acts as the unique identifier for that person. The fingerprints are not stored
anywhere in the network, nor will they be broadcast anywhere to or from the carts.
The cart fingerprint readers match the print to the algorithm, not a map of the print
itself.
To capture the user’s fingerprint navigate to Settings Æ Organization Æ Users and
click on the triangle next to ‘Details’. Click ‘Fingerprints’, then ‘Add New’, when the
new dialog box opens, type a description for the print and then scan the user’s
print in using the enrollment device.
To add enrolled users to the carts, navigate to the RFID cart you wish to add to,
open it, and click on ‘Users’. A list of printed users will appear, simply follow the
process to add that user as an authorized user on the cart.
7.6 Deactivating Authorized Users
To remove enrolled users from the cart, navigate to the RFID cart you wish to
remove from, open it, and click on ‘Users’. A list of users associated with the cart
will appear, simply click on the triangle next to ‘Details’ and click ‘Delete’ to
remove the user.
