Yeah, its surprising how many facilities don't have anything in place. There was actually a recent attempted abduction @ Duke hospital where an infant protection system with CCTV integration prevented it.

The reasons those systems go off is because when your using them on multiple floors you have RFID bleed-through. You need a system that has the capability to stagger-tune between floors or certain zones on one floor are going to cause alarms on a different floor (either up or down). Here's a couple of good articles that were just published in a hospital security magazine about infant protection systems: http://www.campussafetymagazine.com/Channel/Hospital-Security/Articles/2010/07/New-Hampshire-Hospital-Deploys-RFID-Tags-for-Infant-Security.aspx http://www.campussafetymagazine.com/Channel/Hospital-Security/Articles/2010/07/Infant-Security-Basics.aspx The system they're talking about in the article is an accutech cuddles system that utilizes a soft band which wont fall off and cause alarm due to post birth weight loss, and also wont cut or chaffe a new-borns skin. I believe their systems also have a stagger tuning capability which wont cause alarms from different floors. I hope all this helps...
