Functionality
When moving and/or at preset intervals the Tag transmits its own identification code using ultrasound. A Sonitor Receiver (microphone) hears and transfers the Tag ID-code to a Server which stores the Tag’s location and time-stamp information in its database.

Architecture
The Tag circuitry is activated by its built in motion sensor, a timer, or by one of the optional signal buttons or tamper sensor switches. Otherwise, the circuitry is in a battery saving "sleep mode". Before entering a sleep mode, the Tag will transmit a few special signals indicating that the Tag no longer is in motion.

Battery life expectancy
Battery life expectancy is dependent on motion and transmission intervals. The Tag-E battery will last for approximately 600.000 transmissions for typical hospital settings. The battery power status is transmitted as part of each signal and enables low battery warnings.
Cleaning and Disinfecting

The Tag is designed to be cleaned and disinfected by procedures used for other electronic patient care equipment using normal hospital cleaning detergents and disinfectant solvents. The Tag can be sprayed or rinsed off followed by a wipe-down.

Attachment
All versions of Tag-E can be attached to equipment surfaces with double sided tape.
