Ecolab® Hand Hygiene Monitoring System Healthcare Worker Badge User’s Guide introduces the badge's operation, status levels, interaction with a soap or sanitizer dispenser and patient bed (patient zone)
This manual describes the Ecolab Healthcare Worker (HCW) Badge, an integral component of the Ecolab Hand Hygiene Program Compliance Monitoring System. The badge provides real-time hand hygiene status reminders through visual and audible alerts based on interactions with system-equipped dispensers and patient beds.
The document details how to set up the badge, including powering it on for the first time and wearing it correctly. It explains the badge's operation, specifically how it communicates with dispenser beacons and patient bed beacons to update hygiene status. The guide also outlines the various badge status levels indicated by LED colors (Green, Yellow, Red) and the associated grace periods for different states.
| LED Flash Rate | once every 1.5 seconds |
|---|---|
| Dispenser Beacon Range | approximately 36 inches |
| Patient Zone Range | approximately 18 inches |
Remove the plastic pull-tab from the badge enclosure. All three LEDs will flash in sequence and the audible alert will beep for about 1 second.
It is recommended to wear the badge on a lanyard around the neck or clip it on a chest pocket, scrub collar, or jacket lapel.
A Red LED indicates a Non-Compliant Status Level (State 2, State 3, or State 5).
