In partnership with Savant, the mobile Maternal Milk Checking system was created to ensure that babies in a maternity or neo-natal unit are fed the correct milk expressed by the mother and utilises the best in class hand held devices from Zebra (with bar code scanning and anti-microbial plastics for easy cleaning and infection control). Â Milk is identified using 2D Datamatrix bar codes and cross-checked with the baby identifiers using the hand-held device prior to feeding by nursing staff. Â The system allows recording of feed volumes and copes with feeds given to siblings. The Maternal Milk Checking System is a vital tool in the safe feeding practices of infants.
Benefits & features include:
- Ensures that the maternal milk expressed in the maternity unit is given to the correct baby
- Labels all milk bottles with unique bottle identifiers
- Captures the feed volume
- Builds an audit trail of which milk was given to which baby
- Compliant with infection control processes
We can also provide Zebra Technologies Z-band ultrasoft wristbands for both mother and child. Â Z-band ultrasoft are specifically designed to meet the needs of patients with sensitive skin. The flexible synthetic material has a soft-feel reverse side for superior comfort. Wristbands are latex-free and MR safe.
