ARA TechBis Sdn. Bhd. leads the way with Malaysia's first RFID Mother-Infant Identification System, deployed in Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC), a 280 bedded multi-specialty tertiary care hospital located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The hospital, aims to be the foremost healthcare provider in Asia, offering comprehensive medical care through world-class facilities, innovative technology and excellent customer service.
RFID tracking systems are generally used in hospitals to track expensive medical equipment costing millions. But with the rise in accidental baby switching instances and attempts of abduction, patient safety is increasingly becoming a priority in hospitals wishing to provide safe and quality healthcare. Being sensitive to this issue, Prince Court Medical Centre realized the need to improve overall hospital security to prevent any attempts of infant abduction, accidental switching or identity mismatch. PCMC readily embraced RFID technology in order to provide the best possible solution in order to increase patient safety generally and infant safety specifically whilst improving the overall patient care experience.
This unique infant security system acts as a personal security guard for each infant. The RFID tag is fitted to an infant to accurately match mother with infant, report real time location, track and locate infant, provides abduction deterrence and safeguard against unauthorized removal of infant from the ward.
The Infant Tag is designed to protect the infant without cutting or chafing the skin. In addition to being lightweight and water-resistant with hypoallergenic properties, the Infant Tag is ergonomically designed to fit the smallest of infants comfortably and securely.
