AeroScout Wi-Fi RFID Overview
Ryan Rose – WWT
Using Wi-Fi for Location
Non-Wi-Fi Infrastructure:
□ Single-purpose Active RFID readers for location add unnecessary infrastructure.
Wi-Fi based Infrastructure:
□ The existing WLAN isthe location system, often without the need for additional hardware.

Improve Patient Care Reduce Costs Increase Safety
Turning Visibility into Value
Track
…current and historical location of medical devices and people, from a
Web interface
Alert
…automated alerting and notification (pump leaving a protected zone, overdue for maintenance, requiring
delivery, etc.)
Manage
…the utilization of equipment, control the workflow and
utilize location data for operational
analysis
Integrate
…location and status information to existing hospital applications
(asset mgmt, ORIS, EMR, etc.)
AeroScout’s healthcare visibility solutions use standard Wi-Fi networks to provide hospitals with improved patient care, increased safety and
cost savings.
How Does it Work?
1. Wi-Fi-Based Active RFID tags send a tiny wireless 802.11 signal at a regular interval
□ Tag’s messages consume less than 1/2msec, tags do not associate with Wi-Fiaccess points and do not require thousands of IP addresses
2. Signal is received by the Wi-Fi access points, and is sent to a Location Engine
3. The Location Engine determines the tag’s location, and sends it to the visibility software
4. Visibility software uses location data to display maps and reports, enable searches, create alerts, manage assets, etc.

Challenges
Increasing RegulationsExpanded Oversight
Patient DemandsTaxed Staff
Challenges
• Patient test results, organs, blood bags, vaccines, tissues, pharmaceuticals,
breast milk, food and other items require strict temperature ranges for
quality patient care and patient safety
• Joint Commission regulates temperature management process
• Medications must be stored under stable conditions
• Temperature must be monitored and logged at least once per day
• Records of temperature logs must be available for a 12 month period
• In case of deviations, corrective actions must be taken and documented
• Audits are at least every three years plus random, unannounced audits
• Semi-annual calibration requirements for temperature monitoring systems
• Nursing, lab and pharmacy staff perform manual temperature monitoring
and logging each day
• Logging mechanisms are unreliable (lost data, gaps in data) and often expensive
• Labor is utilized inefficiently
Challenges
• The Joint Commission primarily regulates the process of temperature
monitoring and not the desired ranges and as a result there are many
other regulatory bodies that are involved in setting the temperature
monitoring requirements to include:
• CAP (College of American Pathologists)
• AABB (American Association of Blood Banks)
• CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments; administered by CMS & FDA)
• The Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO)
• CMS (Medicare)
• FDA (Food and Drug Agency)
• NIST (National Institutes of Standards & Technology)
• The loss of The Joint Commission accreditation may result in the loss
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement

Our Solution
Integrating technology to benefit the user and patient…
Temperature Monitoring Solution
• Wi-Fi RFID Temperature Sensor Tags
• AeroScout temperature sensor Wi-Fi tags are placed in refrigerators
• Provides constant temperature readings sent periodically as
customized (every x seconds or minutes)
• No hard wires and easy to install
• Battery powered tags and wireless communication link continue to
monitor even if there are power shortages in refrigeration units
• Temperature range -30° Celsius to +75° Celsius
(-22° F to 167° F)
• Software
• AeroScout’s Web-based MobileView software tracks, alerts,
manages and integrates the temperatures and displays all of the
logged temperatures and alerts
� Includes “Corrective Action” field to document notes for Joint Commission compliance
� Custom properties can be used for calibration dates and checkups
Registered with the
FDA
Temperature Monitoring Solution
• Temperature Alert - Automated alert when temperature is out of desired range
• Other alerts include:
• Tag Battery - alerts on low battery status of tags
• Out of Sight – alerts on tags not reporting temperature readings for a certain
period of time
• Alert types include pop-up messages, e-mails, pagers, text messages, VOIP phones and badges, and integration to hospital information systems
Temperature Monitoring Solution
• Reports
• Maintain temperature current and historical data in database
• Data is not lost and no monitoring gaps in records
• Temperature reports can be exported to Excel, PDF or XML, or can be printed
• Data can be stored for several years
• Graphical or tabular views, as well as trending
• Reports include:
• Current Temperature Report
• Historical Temperature Report (at least one year per Joint Commission)
• Events and Corrective Actions Report (records alerts)
The Benefits
Cost ControlTalent Utilization

Assumptions
General Assumptions
• Medium to large sized hospital (approx. 300 beds)
• Labor cost of $50 per hour
Temperature Monitoring

InfrastructureInfrastructure
SoftwareSoftware
Step 1: Categorize Refrigerators
Step 2: Activate & Mount Tags
• Activate and configure AeroScout tags
• AeroScout T2 Tags are mounted or placed inside refrigerators and freezers
Step 3: Configure Event Monitors
• Configure dozens of event monitors through a user friendly interface:
• Temperature thresholds
• Tamper events (if tag is removed without permission from refrigerator)
• Out of sight events – when tag messages have not been sent for a long time
• Low battery events
Step 3: Configure Event Monitors
• Use Temperature tab under “Sensors” to Enable/disable temperature sensor reports.
• Set the temperature report interval (report every X tag messages)
• Report temperature only according to a specified threshold (higher than, lower than etc.)
• Corrective action logging for when temperature leaves desired range
Step 3: Configure Event Monitors
• Event Monitor will trigger an alert each time the temperature reported by a
tag meets one of the following criteria:
• Higher or lower than the defined threshold
• Inside or outside of the defined range
• Event Condition sets the filter to a desired level of sensitivity
• Eliminates false triggers – for example if a refrigerator door is opened, a trigger
will only be noted if the reading is for a defined consecutive period
Step 3: Configure Event Monitors
• Define actions to be taken once event conditions are met:
• Pager
• Text message
• VOIP phone or badge
• Other applications – through Web Services, HTTP, JMS
Step 4: View Reports

Jan Yperman Hospital Quote
"Automatically monitoring and reporting on asset temperatures will free our nurses and clinical staff up to do what they do best: provide our
patients with the highest quality care possible," said Christophe Mouton, Director of Administration, Finance, ICT and Technical Service, Jan
Yperman Hospital. "The ability to use our existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to monitor temperature is a major advantage offered by AeroScout, and one that keeps costs low while integrating easily into our clinical
environment."
