The Elpas Asset Tracking Solution is based on the Elpas Asset Tracking tag. When deployed the tag is affixed to the medical devices you want to track. Only 3.6 by 4.1cm (1.4 x 1.61 inches) in size, the Elpas Asset Tracking Tag is suitable for surface mounting on almost any mobile patient care asset without electrically interfering with its operation.

The tag uses low power beacon type radio signals as well as safe, infra-red transmissions messages to transmit continuously asset identity and location data down to room-level accuracy to a network of Elpas ceiling/wall mounted readers that are placed at strategic points around the facility; such as key exits, entrances as well as transition points between departments.

When attached to a medical delivery asset; the Elpas Asset Tag can also automatically transmit alerts and trigger alarm notifications for keeping personnel informed of deliberate or accidental tampering and/or removal. Additionally, Elpas Tracking Tags emit periodic supervision messages so that a supervision alarm may be triggered should the Elpas system fail to hear from the asset.

Additionally, the tag’s onboard magnetic low frequency (LF) Receiver adds exit point area detection so whenever the protected asset is physically near a critical exit/entrance covered by an Elpas reader an alert notification is generated.
