VeriChip已经为超过1300家医院安装了基于RFID射频识别技术的保安系统，保护新生婴儿和儿科病人的安全，这些系统都使用Hugs商标。

与去年同期相比，VeriChip在2007年第一季度销售的婴儿防盗系统数目增加了14%，而销售给新客户的数量则增加了28%。

Xmark的婴儿防盗系统用于防止新生婴儿被盗，并可防止婴儿被错误调换。系统的主要部件是可佩戴在婴儿及母亲身上的无线射频标签，医院内安装的信号接收设备可监控标签状况和婴儿位置。如果婴儿被带离病区，或者标签脱离与婴儿的皮肤接触，又或者腕带被破坏，系统都会立即产生警报，以警示医院保安人员。此外，Xmark Hugs婴儿防盗系统还能通过母婴标签自动匹配防止婴儿被调换。如果婴儿被交给错误的母亲，标签能够检测到错误匹配并发出警报铃音。

VeriChip supplies 1,300th infant protection system

VeriChip now has more than 1,300 RFID-based systems for the protection of newborn infants and paediatric patients installed in hospitals. This is led by systems sold under the HUGS brand.

In the first quarter of 2007, the number of infant protection systems sold by VeriChip increased 14%, while the number of infant protection systems sold to new customers increased 28% (compared to the first quarter of 2006).

VeriChip's infant protection systems are designed prevent infant abductions and inadvertent child mismatchings. The main component of the systems is a wearable RFID tag that is assigned to child and mother following birth. Monitors positioned throughout the hospital detect the integrity of the tags and location of the child. If a newborn is removed from the ward, if the tag is lifted from the baby's skin or if the ankle strap is compromised, the system immediately triggers an alarm, alerting hospital security to the situation. The systems also guard against mismatching by fixing matching RFID tags to mother and child. If the mother is given the wrong child, the RFID tag detects the mismatch and activates an audible alarm.
