Recent Abductions Show Need for Infant Protection
Accutech's "Nurse Friendly" Infant Protection System Aids in Preventing Infant Abductions.
Milwaukee, WI - March 16, 2007 - Recent infant abductions in Texas and California highlight the need for dependable infant protection security systems in hospitals and healthcare facilities nationwide.
Since 1983, there have been 248 infant abductions, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Of this number, 121 abductions were from healthcare facilities. Within healthcare facilities, 56% were taken from the mother's room, 14% were taken from the nursery, 14% were taken from pediatrics, and 16% from elsewhere in the facility.
"In the past 24 years, 95% of abducted infants and newborns have been recovered safely," says President and CEO of NCMEC.
Accutech is a leading provider of Infant Protection Security Systems and the only "Nurse Friendly" system available today. Accutech's "Nurse Friendly" Infant Protection System provides maximum peace of mind and safety for mothers, infants, and nurses.
Available with Accutech's "Nurse Friendly" Infant Protection System is the trademarked Soft Bracelet, which makes caring and protecting infants easy.
"At Accutech we promise the best solution with our Infant Protection System. I believe in our product. I know it will help prevent abductions and keep infants safe," Accutech's President Larry Cinpinski says. "Accutech's Soft Bracelet continues to be safe, secure and most importantly, a brand you can trust," he continues.
The Soft Bracelet is also proven to help protect against infant abductions because of its tamper-proof design that alarms in the event of removal or cutting. Accutech's Soft Bracelet helps prevent unauthorized personnel from removing an infant's bracelet. An alarm will sound if a bracelet is tampered with, cut, or removed ensuring safety day and night for infants.
"Our Soft Bracelets and RFID tags have gone through many tests, even as of yesterday, to ensure that they deliver maximum protection for infants," says Jason Guerrero, Technical Applications Manager.
While there can be mishaps in security, it is always important for hospital staff, nurses, and the mother and father/caregiver to be aware of the potential threat of abduction and to keep other security measures in mind. Preventative methods and guidelines are the first step to creating a safe environment for an infant.
