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.
The system consists of the following components:
- Badges are worn on individual employees
- Asset tags attached to assets that should be tracked
- Hygiene sensors mounted to hygiene dispensers to track employee hand sanitation frequency
- Entry sensors installed indoor thresholds to provide real-time feedback
- Location hubs monitor employee presence in patient rooms and asset locations
- The communication hub located on each unit collects the data generated within the network and transmits it to the cloud.
Once the data is uploaded to the cloud, it is accessible to all administrators.
Product Description
This is a multi-functional device that can be paired with either a Magnetic
Baseplate (721.0) creating a Hygiene Sensor or paired with an Entry Baseplate
(731.0) creating an Entry Sensor (Figure 1).
Safety and Regulatory Information
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions.
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
This device must not be co-located with other transmitters.
RF Exposure:
This equipment complies with FCC RF Exposure requirements and should be
installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator
and any part of the human body.

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 comprised of:
- Badges worn on individual employees
- Asset tags attached to assets that should be tracked
- Hygiene sensors mounted to hygiene dispensers track employee hand sanitation frequency
- Entry sensors installed indoor thresholds to provide real-time feedback
- Location hubs monitor employee presence in patient rooms and asset locations
- The communication hub located on each unit 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 multi-functional device that can be paired with either a Magnetic
Baseplate (721.0) creating a Hygiene Sensor, or paired with an Entry Baseplate
(731.0) creating an Entry Sensor (Figure 1).
The assembled Hygiene Sensor (HS) is designed to be installed on the side of a sanitizer or soap dispenser. After installing a magnet inside the dispenser, the HS is able to monitor the movement of this magnet detecting dispense activity. Specific mounting location and magnet type and position vary from dispenser to dispenser, so please refer to the specific build guide for any specific dispenser you are using. The assembled Entry Sensor (ES) is designed to be normally installed on a door frame to monitor providers entering or exiting a room and issue a real-time natural language voice reminder if hand hygiene is not performed in a timely manner. The ES can also be installed on the side of a sanitizer or soap dispenser like an HS if there is a dispenser placed at the threshold to a room, allowing the ES to perform double duty.
Installation Procedure
The Hygiene Sensor (or Entry Sensor functioning as dual roles) requires a minimum clearance of 3 inches to the side of the hygiene dispenser for proper installation. If this is not available, the existing dispenser will need to be removed and reinstalled to allow for the Hygiene Sensor. Whether left, right, or both sides of the dispenser are eligible for Hygiene Sensor placement depends on the specific dispenser.
To install a Sensor on a dispenser
- If the Sidecar is not pre-assigned for a specific location, record the serial number and add the device to the Unit Device Map, ensuring placement on the map reflects the dispenser location.
- Wipe down the side of the dispenser and let dry to remove oil and debris.
- Install the Sensor to the side of the dispenser using double-sided tape. Refer to the build guide for the specific dispenser to get the correct location.
- Install a magnet inside the dispenser. Refer to the build guide for the specific dispenser to get the correct magnet type and installation method.
The Entry Sensor requires an unobstructed view of the threshold into a patient room so that a provider entering or exiting the room passes in front of the optical sensor. If the Entry Sensor is not being installed on a dispenser:
- If the Sidecar is not pre-assigned for a specific location, record the serial number and add the device to the Unit Device Map, ensuring placement on the map reflects the dispenser location.
- Wipe down the target install location and let dry to remove oil and debris.
- Install the Entry Sensor on, or next to, the doorframe using double-sided tape.
