BLE MM Badge

Ultra-thin and lightweight staff badge

Assets: CenTrak's Asset Tracking Tags help healthcare facilities minimize time spent searching for equipment, automate PAR-level inventory management, and reduce both equipment shrinkage and rental costs. Tag options include cost-effective BLE-only models for rapid deployment, as well as advanced Multi-Mode options that support workflow automation and clinical-grade locating. Technology options supported include CenTrak UHF (900 MHz), BLE, Wi-Fi, Low Frequency for chokepoint detection, and Gen2IR for precise, room-level visibility. Features may also include water-resistant or fully waterproof options, motion sensor, detachment sensor, a configurable button, and form factors specially designed for medical scope attachment. Easily replace batteries in the field as needed.

Patients: Patient RTLS wearables enable enhanced safety and care. Their small, lightweight design is comfortable for patients and easily integrates with existing facility ID bracelets. Special infant options are also available. Features may include water-resistant or fully waterproof options, motion sensor, tamper detection, a configurable button, and reusable (with replaceable battery) or single-use options. Multi-mode technology capabilities - CenTrak UHF (900 MHz), Low Frequency to trigger door and elevator locking response, and Gen2IR for clinical-grade locating applications.

Staff: Not a "slacker tracker," this badge is designed to support the safety and efficiency of staff with immediate duress notifications and comprehensive intelligence that can help to improve processes. This data also provides support for staff in the event of patient disputes. Staff Badges are ultra-thin, lightweight, and the size of a standard hospital-issued ID badge. Features include customizable buttons, a self-test button, audible alert functionality, long battery life (batteries can be easily replaced in the field), and multi-mode technology capabilities - BLE, CenTrak UHF (900 MHz), Wi-Fi, Low Frequency, and Gen2IR.

"Star" CenTrak's Dedicated UHF Access Point

CenTrak offers a variety of infrastructure options to meet your facility’s unique needs and budget. Use existing Wi-Fi or BLE-enabled access points, deploy CenTrak’s BLE network of gateways and in-room repeaters, or implement a dedicated clinical-grade UHF network. Devices can be installed in rooms, hallways, bays, and other key locations, emitting a unique space ID. Tags detect this signal and transmit it, along with their own ID, to a location server (cloud or on-prem). Real-time data is then delivered to software applications and integrated healthcare systems to support asset tracking, workflow automation, and more.

BLE Devices: CenTrak’s BLE solutions deliver the ideal balance of accuracy, reliability, affordability and efficiency, purpose-built for the demands of healthcare.

Location Accuracy – Patented location and calibration algorithms provide near-room level certainty to support critical use cases such as asset tracking and staff duress. Floor-level discrimination prevents common “floor hopping,” issues.

Reliability – Advanced signal processing ensures consistent performance in RF-dense environments, with low-latency location updates every 15–20 seconds—far outperforming traditional BLE-only systems.

Efficiency – CenTrak’s BLE deployments are rapid and scalable. Often completed in under one week.

Infrastructure Flexibility – BLE devices support native integrations with Cisco, Aruba, and other BLE-enabled access points, enabling you to leverage existing infrastructure and reduce deployment costs.

Battery Life – Power-efficient BLE devices are optimized for longevity, minimizing the need for frequent battery replacements and reducing ongoing maintenance requirements.

Gen2IR Devices: The CenTrak Location Services platform differs from legacy systems in its combined use of patented Second Generation Infrared (Gen2IR™) and active-RFID technology. Gen2IR is the gold standard for certainty-based, room- and bay-level locating in clinical environments.

Clinical-Grade Locating – Gen2IR enables precise segmentation of spaces—down to individual beds, rooms, and even bays within a single room—supporting accurate location data for sensitive clinical workflows. This level of granularity ensures that location data is meaningful and actionable in real-world hospital environments.

Rapid Update Speeds – Gen2IR devices can be configured to emit every few seconds; enabling low latency use cases such as nurse call automation.

No line-of-Sight Limitations – Gen2IR filters external sources of IR (sunlight, fluorescent lighting, etc.). Direct Line-of-sight is not required as tags can sense Gen2IR from any direction, even under blankets or clothing.

Buffers

Properly maintain temperature and environmental conditions to enhance patient safety and maintain regulatory compliance. Our devices are designed to eliminate the need to take continuous manual measurements and come equipped with dual ports to support a second measurement or door ajar sensing. The built-in display allows for immediate temperature viewing and local alarming.

Versatile: Enterprise healthcare solution to monitor dual-zone temperature, differential air pressure, ambient temperature and humidity, liquid nitrogen fill levels, oxygen, and door ajar status. Embedded RTLS technology and multiple buffer types and probe lengths to suit a variety of needs.

Reliable: High-quality NIST-traceable probes ensure measurement accuracy and regulatory compliance. In the event of a power or network outage, the sensors will continue to monitor conditions and store measurements offline for up to 30 days.

Low Maintenance: Sensors are equipped with a 2-year battery life and may be easily relocated to different departments as needed. DC Power with battery backup option also available

Embedded Hand Hygiene Sensors

Certain use cases like hand hygiene compliance monitoring and those related to patient safety require specialized infrastructure. Protect patients by improving your facility's hand hygiene compliance and by controlling unauthorized access to doors and elevators.

Safety Solutions: The Security Controller package contains the Security Controller, LF Exciter Antenna, and an optional Access Control Keypad. This product generates a low frequency exciter field, which defines the elevator or door coverage, and supports multiple alerts and alarms. Features include tamper alarms, visual indicators for power, door ajar alerts, and loiter notifications. If the host server goes down, the Controller will stand alone to operate locks and elevators as usual to ensure optimal safety and protection.

Hand Hygiene Sensors: Integrated options are embedded directly into select dispenser manufacturers which do not require additional batteries (powered by the dispenser). External, battery-operated options are also available in a standard attachment or drip-tray form factor, that may be mounted to any dispenser, canister, or pump. These sensors work in conjunction with CenTrak’s RTLS-enabled Staff Badge, are equipped with tamper-proof sensors, and are activated by both proximity and motion. This ensures compliance is only documented when dispensers are actually used, not just if someone stands near it.
