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
composed of badges worn on individual employees, hygiene sensors mounted to hygiene dispensers’
tracks employee hand sanitation frequency, location hubs monitor an employee’s presence in patient
rooms and a communication hub located in each nurses 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. A picture of an installed Location Hub is provided in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Installed Location Hub
Installation Procedures
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. Locate and identify the predetermined outlet/power supply as defined by the comprehensive
assessment provided by SwipeSense.
NOTE: If a comprehensive assessment has not been completed, go to Location Optimization.
2. Scan and record the serial number of the Location Hub using the SwipeSense Mobile App.
3. Enter all assignment-related information for the Location hub to the SwipeSense Mobile App.
4. Use the pre-applied mounting tape and bracket to ensure solid connectivity to the power outlet.
5. 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.
6. The blue light will light and stop flashing 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.
