STEP Program

STEP – Simple Tag Exchange Program

Never buy a tag! Let McRoberts manage your tags for you.

STEP is a program in which McRoberts manages your tag inventory, testing and disinfecting and providestags for per-patient use with the MyChild infant protection system. You use tags once then return themto McRoberts for testing and disinfection on a weekly basis. STEP integrates seamlessly with clinicalpractices and relieves hospitals from the burden of cleaning tags, managing inventory, and thepurchasing process when tags expire.

The birth census of each hospital determines the number of tags that are assigned to a hospital’s TotalTag Population. The initial shipment of tags to the hospital contains a three-week supply. Each week thehospital sends its dirty tags to McRoberts and McRoberts ships back the same number of tested anddisinfected tags. The program is designed so that at any time, a third of the tags are in use, a third are inthe hospital’s inventory and a third are in transit or in cleaning.

The foil pouches that the tags come in should be kept and used to send dirty tags back to McRoberts inorder to preserve their battery life and get them off the protected unit without alarming.

Already own your tags? McRoberts will give a $30 per-tag credit for tags that are not dead or have a lowbattery. McRoberts will also always take back any dead tag for proper disposal.
