MARCH 2018

CUT-BAND OPTION ADDED TO MYCHILD PORTFOLIO MyChild™ cut-band tags and unique cut-bands are now available. Designed for patient comfort and clinical convenience. MyChild™ cut-bands are thin and have a soft inner layer that goes against the skin. Custom-designed, one-way pull tabs are used to snugly fit the tag to the patient.

Testing cut-band tags is done with a Tag Test Plate. Placing the tag on the plate arms the anti-tamper circuit. Removing the tag from the plate breaks the circuit, thereby triggering an alarm. The standard MyChild™ Pocket Tag Tester can be used for battery life testing. MyChild™ cut-band tags trigger security alarms, lock perimeter doors and have a TLM (Tag Locating Message) capability. TLM-enabled tags emit a wireless beacon signal communicating their status and location.

The cut-band is the tamper mechanism. To remove a tag, the band must be cut. Cutting the band, without first discharging or suspending the tamper, breaks the electronic circuit and triggers an alarm.   The MyChild™ cut-bands and cut-band tags are the latest additions to the MyChild™ tag catalog which also includes tummy tags, re-energized skin-sensing tags and standard bracelet tags. McRoberts also offers tag leasing, tag sterilization, tag buy-back and tag re-energizing.

MST TAMPER-RESISTANT CLAMPS ARE BACK! Due to popular demand, McRoberts has returned to its original umbilical clamp design. Based on feedback received from nurses, McRoberts has brought back the MST tamper-resistant clamp. These are the clamps that our customers enjoyed for several years prior to the brief change last year . MST clamps are available unsterile (CLAMP-001) or sterile (CLAMP-002) . In the Positive ID Kits, these clamps are sterile and numbered. The price of the clamps and kits will remain the same.
