Asset Tracking and Security for All Hospital Budgets

Xtag Medical is a trusted NHS supplier with over 20 years experience working in partnership with NHS Trusts and hospitals worldwide.

Get in Touch

Xtag Medical’s Asset Tagging System empowers hospitals to take control of their high-value clinical assets, reducing loss, improving security, and streamlining clinical workflows. Designed as an extension of our industry-leading infant security system, the Asset Tagging System enables healthcare facilities to track and manage essential medical equipment with ease, ensuring that staff always have the right tools available when they’re needed most.

How It Works

Xtag Medical’s Asset Tagging system allows clinical staff to quickly locate equipment using an intuitive, user-friendly software interface. Staff can search for specific assets in real time and instantly view their location within the hospital.

The system also includes a Managed Transfer feature, which allows staff to securely move assets between wards when necessary. If an asset needs to leave a designated area, the system requires authorization and tracks the transfer to prevent loss or theft. If an unauthorized movement occurs, the system immediately alerts staff to take action, ensuring that equipment remains secure at all times.

Solution Benefits

  • Increased Visibility: Instantly locate critical equipment like infusion pumps, monitors, and drug cabinet keys with simple asset search.
  • Enhanced Security: Reduce the risk of lost, stolen and misplaced assets by ensuring high-value equipment remains on the ward.
  • Long Battery Life: Asset tags have an expected lifespan of 4-8 years with typical use in a hospital environment.
  • Cost Reduction: Minimise expenses related to replacing lost or stolen equipment and generate a positive ROI over time.
  • Seamless Integration: No additional infrastructure costs - fully compatible with your existing XTAG® Baby Tagging System.
  • Operational Efficiency: Free up staff time spent searching for equipment, allowing more focus on patient care.

Cost Effective and Easy to Implement

Asset Tagging integrates seamlessly with your existing XTAG® Baby Tagging System infrastructure, eliminating the need for costly additional hardware or software. Existing infant security customers benefit from free system infrastructure and software, meaning you only need to purchase our low-cost asset tags to activate the system.

The difference between Active UHF and Wi-Fi based infant security systems

Choosing the right technology is crucial for ensuring the highest level of infant security. Xtag Medical’s Active UHF technology operates on a dedicated, highly secure standalone network, eliminating reliance on the hospital’s Wi-Fi. This prevents risks associated with signal interference, network latency, and potential Wi-Fi outages, which could put infants at risk.
