Infant Protection System and Mother-Baby Matching

Keep a watchful eye on newborns 24/7. Ensure the baby is matched with the correct family and receive immediate alerts if bands are tampered with or an unauthorized location change occurs. Integration with Access Control systems provides advanced exit protection.

Protect every infant in your care with a reliable RTLS safety solution

Designed to enhance infant safety, CenTrak’s newbaby™ infant protection system offers live map views with real-time location updates, immediate alert notifications, automated lockdown procedures, and electronic mother-baby matching for newborn safety in hospitals.

Infant Protection - Problem

Code Pink! Manual monitoring leaves room for human error

Humans are well, human. They can't be everywhere at once. Parents have enough worries, abduction attempts or being paired with the wrong newborn in the hospital doesn’t have to be one of them. When it comes to newborn security systems in hospitals, CenTrak is the leading solution.

Infant Protection - Solution

Provide automated, facility-wide infant protection

Each newborn is easily assigned a small, comfortable, and unobtrusive device through the software’s auto admission process. Once the band is applied, it actively communicates with the system and updates the baby’s location in real-time, providing staff with accurate room- and bay-level visibility anywhere inside the protected area.

Knowing our infants are protected with this system makes me feel at ease. I can't be with the parents and new baby 24/7, but CenTrak technology can.

    Safety - Gen2IR

    How it works

    For room-, sub-room-, and bay-level locating, CenTrak uses patented Second Generation Infrared (Gen2IR) devices. Without line-of-sight limitations, Monitors and Virtual Walls transmit a unique location ID using Gen2IR, which is received by any tag in that location. The tag communicates the location ID via radio frequency to Connect Core™ (Location Server), where it can be accessed in real-time by hospital personnel and integrated with various software solutions. Low-Frequency chokepoints are installed wherever necessary to provide egress detection.

  • Clinical Education
    Safety - Clinical Education

Our clinical educators go on-site to review system functionality with all facility stakeholders (system administrators, users, and managers), share best practices to alert response protocols, create a clinical workflow assessment to identify system customization opportunities, provide just-in-time assistance, and more.
