HALO is the leading infant protection system, featuring a patented skin-sensing technology, and is now installed in hundreds of hospitals nation-wide. The new ergonomic HALO tag’s design conforms more closely to the infant’s ankle, providing greater skin-sensing reliability as well as more comfort for the infant.

Good Samaritan is one of several facilities that have recently upgraded to the new HALO tag to take advantage of the new tag’s features. “We’re very appreciative of the responsiveness of VeriChip in developing a tag based on customer recommendations,” said Ms. Barb Standifer, Nursing Director of Women’s Services at Good Samaritan Hospital. “The staff here likes the fact that the new tag stays in place comfortably on the infant.”

VeriChip Corporation Chief Executive Officer, Kevin McLaughlin, says of the new ergonomic HALO infant tag, “We’re pleased that hospitals are embracing this new tag design. We put a lot of effort into the tag ergonomics as a result of valuable customer feedback, and our customers’ approval lets us know that we are succeeding in meeting their expectations.”
