New Product Line Introduced by Accutech

Cuddles is Accutech’s Newest Product in Infant Protection!

Accutech’s latest innovation, the “Nurse Friendly” Cuddles Infant Protection System, gives nurses the ability to spend more time caring for infants and less time managing the hospital’s security system.

The Cuddles System saves nurses valuable time and protects infants by keeping them safe and secure with Cuddles’ patented Soft Bracelet. The NEW Cuddles Infant Protection System is designed to protect infants with a soft and comfortable bracelet/tag combination that incorporates state-of-the-art RFID technology.

“Nurses and parents love the soft bracelet and the security it provides their infants,” says Karl Radke, Sales and Marketing Director at Accutech.

Cuddles Infant Protection System features include the following:

• Self-Adjusting Soft Bracelet for infants. The new “Nurse Friendly” Soft Bracelet technology makes caring and protecting infants easy. The Soft Bracelet won't fall off due to weight loss, which eliminates the need to replace and readjust bracelets. The soft polyester blended fabric eliminates cutting and chafing of the infant’s skin. 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.

• Self-guided software. Nurses are capable of admitting and discharging patients in moments and staff training is done in minutes, not hours or days. Simple tag activation and monitoring also saves nurses time allowing them more time to focus on the comfort and care of their patients.

• Small easy-clean tags. The smooth, lightweight design is easy to clean. Tags include an "On/Off" indicator light for extended tag life so nurses won’t have to worry about wasting the battery when it’s not needed.

Change is Good

Change is good, especially here at Accutech where our recent changes have been made with our customers in mind. Throughout the recent months, we’ve added several new members to our Accutech family.

As of March 12, 2007, Mike Busha became our new Western Regional Sales Manager. Mike’s background includes 15+ years in the medical/surgical consultant area, as well as, a Senior Account Executive with a Fortune 500 company for 6 years.

Mike is easy to work with and exhibits a professional attitude with a drive to provide his accounts with excellent customer service and support! Since March, Mike has proven to be a great fit for Accutech’s sales team and the rest of our family.

In addition, early this summer two of our hard-working technical support members moved on to the sales side of Accutech. Perhaps some of you have already met or talked with Michael Schmit or Terry Gerlach on the phone.

As of July 12, 2007, Michael Schmit took on responsibilities of the Northeastern Regional Sales Manager joining both Mike Busha and Chris Bachmann on the sales team.

Not only is Michael knowledgeable and friendly, his background in technical support makes him an asset to the sales team. He has the ability to work on many levels with hospital administration and nurse management by providing the service you’d expect from Accutech, plus the benefit of knowing the ins and outs of our systems, which makes for impressive services and support!

Last but certainly not least, our most recent change, Terry Gerlach, became our new Sales Consultant on August 1, 2007. As he quickly learns the ropes, he’s finding his niche by making a leap from technical training into sales where he works one on one with our regional sales managers and nurse managers assisting them in any way possible.

We are very fortunate to have our current support staff. Each member takes pride in working with you by providing unparalleled support and services. If you haven’t met your sales rep (and you should have), please feel free to give them a call. I know they'd love to personally speak with you today!

One Infant is Enough

The other day I was on the phone with a Nurse Manager from a medium-sized hospital in Alabama. I was asking some brief introductory questions regarding the kind of security system they use on their birthing unit.

To my surprise, this hospital only uses the same lock and alarm system as the rest of the hospital (if that) since administrators don't want to spend the money on a new system specific to infant protection and safety.

"Why not," I asked.

"I just don't think our hospital will see the benefits to having an expensive system when we only have about thirty-some births a year," she said.

I'm not one to press, but now that I think of it, even a small hospital should protect their newborns. I thought back to a press release we wrote in the winter about two infant abductions from hospital maternity wards. Interestingly, one hospital was a smaller-sized facility...

Check out the press release here. Infant Abductions are a real threat and something that shouldn't be taken lightly.

All infants, whether one, two, or ten of them in a single hospital, should be safe and secure. Why jeopardize an infant's safety or a mother's well being when there are preventative methods.

If you'd like to hear about the benefits to having an Infant Protection System, please don't hesitate to call one of our sales reps at 1-800-356-2671, or if you'd like to see for yourself, simply go to our website.

Nurse Friendly

Are you tired and frustrated from dealing with your hospital’s security system?

You and I both know you are working hard to provide the BEST comfort and care for your patients and shouldn’t be forced to act as tech support! Honestly Jane, we hear you!

After speaking with so many great nurse managers and administrators over the years, one thing was clear. When it comes to infant protection systems, they want a solution that's simple to use and allows their nurses to spend more time caring for patients. They indicated that they're tired of managing a security system most of all.

That’s why over the last year, Accutech has been working hard to continue the development of the FIRST “Nurse Friendly” Infant Protection System. Now you have the ability to spend more time caring for each of your patients and less time managing the hospital’s security system.

Your “Nurse Friendly” System features includes the same self-adjusting Soft Bracelet for your infants and self-guided software as indicated in my previous post.

Ease-of-use was a key element that went into our new design. The new system lets your nurse managers do what they were hired to do, which is to provide superior patient care.
