CERTASCAN BABY FOOTPRINT SCANNER
Among the many concerns of maternity wards, the safety of infants is paramount. To help ensure that every baby is accounted for and safe, hospital staff rely on a variety of identification methods, including footprints that are unique to each individual and provide a reliable way to keep track of newborns. However, taking an infant's footprints can be a time-consuming process and requires special ink and paper.
CertaScan by Accutech offers a digital footprinting solution that is quick, easy to use, and accurate. Using state-of-the-art scanning technology, CertaScan captures an infant's footprint with remarkable detail. As a result, hospitals can quickly and easily identify each baby, providing peace of mind for parents and staff alike.
In the same way that a fingerprint scanner helps identify people based on their unique fingerprints, a footprint scanner helps with the identification of infants. A baby’s footprint is unique, and digital scanning of footprints can help identify the child in the event there is an incident, such as a child abduction.
It’s not always easy to identify babies and young children based on their facial features because they change rapidly early on in life. But infant footprint records are an important part of assisting police with the recovery of missing children.
CertaScan by Accutech Healthcare Security Solutions can help provide precise identification of a child through footprint scanning technology. Footprint scanning is not an invasive method of identification, so you don’t have to worry about putting your baby through the process.
