VT’s Presence at HIMSS11

Visonic Technologies’ sales and management teams have recently returned from the HIMSS11 (Healthcare Information and Management Systems) conference where VT exhibited Elpas solutions at the conference’s new RFID and RTLS Showcase pavilion. The pavilion was designed by the RFID in Healthcare Consortium in conjunction with HIMSS. Visitors to this pavilion were able to learn more about the benefits of implementing RFID & RTLS solutions in their healthcare facilities.

The Hospital Smart Room was the main attraction of the pavilion, created to simulate a real patient room, exhibiting these technologies. VT’s BabyMatch Infant Protection Solution was among the solutions demonstrated. Visitors were able to see the full functionality of the infant protection solution including baby-mother match tests and exit and matching alarms. Pavilion visitors were also invited to visit VT’s kiosk where they were able to receive further information on other Elpas Active RFID & RTLS Healthcare Solutions.

Enhanced Elpas Reusable Tag for Infant Protection & High-Risk Patient Applications

VT announces the availability of its enhanced Elpas Active RFID/RTLS Reusable Tag.  The tag’s unique form factor and comfort makes it ideal  for protecting infants from abduction in maternity units or for the monitoring and tracking of high-risk patients who wander.

The tag’s dual technology transmitter emits  radio frequency (RF) messages plus infra-red (IR) messages that can be used to determine the location of the infant or patient to room level and sub-room level precision in open and enclosed indoor spaces without EMF interference to hospital equipment. The tag also has  a low frequency (LF) receiver that supports chokepoint area detection.

The Reusable Tag  supports Elpas2; VT’s new, innovative topology for backhauling RFID/RTLS security and safety solutions over wired or wireless Ethernet/Wi-Fi networks and also complements VT‘s growing portfolio of 433MHz Active RFID/RTLS tags for asset security and utilization, personnel and patient safety and remote sensor applications.

VT adds sub-room location accuracy with new Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader.

 Visonic Technologies announces the immediate availability of its new Elpas2
High-Definition IR Reader. The device is designed to detect and relay Sub-Room Location data from Elpas IR-Enabled Active RFID Asset, Personnel or Infant Protection Tags to host applications; facilitating the real-time tracking of valuable fixed and mobile assets, high-risk patients as well as personnel or visitors 24 hours a day with pin-point accuracy.

“The new Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader enhances RTLS performance in healthcare, senior living and general office environments by providing reliable, yet low-cost sub-room location accuracy” said Michael Wasserstein, CEO of Visonic Technologies. “As example, our new IR reader provides hospital administrators with the ability to accurately identify different patient-beds within the same medical ward; enabling the automatic logging of patient and caregiver interaction.”
The Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader is plug and play compatible with the Elpas2 RF Ethernet Reader, making possible the leveraging of legacy wireless or wired Wi-Fi or Ethernet Networks plus XML messaging for integration with 3rd party applications.

The Elpas2 High-Definition IR Reader complements and adds to VT’s growing portfolio of Ethernet and LonWork network Active RFID/RTLS fixed topology devices; and is to be marketed through the company’s worldwide network of qualified partners.
