Step-by-Step: Initiating a Return (RMA)
To initiate a Return (RMA) for hardware repairs or replacements within the Securitas Healthcare Community Support Portal, follow the process outlined below.
Note: Ensure all biohazardous materials are cleaned and decontaminated according to hospital policy before shipping healthcare hardware.
1. Access the Returns Module
From the portal homepage, click on the Returns or RMA icon. This area is specifically designed to handle hardware logistics, separate from general technical inquiries.
2. Start a New RMA Request
Click the "Create New RMA" or "New Return" button. You will be prompted to fill out a structured form that identifies the hardware in question.
Start with the subject and description lines providing as much detail as possible to help us understand the issue and provide the right resolution.
3. Provide Product Identification
- Serial Number/MAC Address: Enter the unique identifier for the device (e.g., the barcode on an AeroScout Tag or Hugs transmitter). The system often validates this to check warranty status.
- Part Number: If known, specify the model or part number of the equipment.
- Quantity: Indicate how many units of this specific type you are returning.
4. Detail the Issue and Shipping
- Reason for Return: Select from a dropdown (e.g., Physical Damage, Battery Failure, Connectivity Issue) and provide a brief description of the fault.
- Shipping/Contact Info: Verify the return shipping address where the repaired or replaced unit should be sent.
- Reference Number: You may add an internal Purchase Order (PO) or tracking number if required by your facility's procurement department.
5. Review and Submit
Review the details for accuracy and click Submit.
Post-Submission: Next Steps
Once the request is submitted, the system will process the RMA and provide the following:
- RMA Number: This is your official tracking number for the return.
- Shipping Instructions: You will receive instructions on how to package the device and where to ship it (e.g., to the Securitas service center in Lincoln, NE, or another regional hub).
- RMA Label: In most cases, a PDF packing slip will be generated. You must print this and include it inside the box to ensure the service team can identify your equipment upon arrival.
Note: Ensure all biohazardous materials are cleaned and decontaminated according to hospital policy before shipping healthcare hardware.
Step-by-Step: Downloading Calibration Certificates
Accessing Calibration Certificates (specifically for NIST-traceable tags like the T15 or T5 environmental monitoring series) is a key feature of the Community Support Portal to help your facility maintain regulatory compliance.
1. Locate the Calibration Section
Once logged into the Securitas Healthcare Community Support Portal, find and click the Calibration Certificates icon on your dashboard. This module is specifically built for searching and organizing NIST certificates in one centralized location.
2. Search for Your Device
The portal allows you to pull certificates for individual devices or batches of hardware. You can typically search using:
- MAC Address: The unique identifier printed on the device label.
- Tag ID/Serial Number: The specific identification number for your environmental monitoring tag.
3. Filter by Date
If you have been using the system for several years, you may see multiple certificates for a single device. Use the date filters to select the most recent certificate or the one corresponding to a specific audit period.
4. Download and Save
Individual Download: Click the download icon (usually a PDF symbol) next to the specific device record.
Batch Download: If you are preparing for a Joint Commission or health department audit, look for a "Select All" or "Export" feature to download certificates for your entire fleet of tags at once.
Alternative Management: MobileView
If your facility uses MobileView, these digital certificates are often automatically linked to your assets:
- Log in to your MobileView application.
- Search for the specific asset (e.g., "Pharmacy Fridge 1").
- Open the Asset Details screen.
- Look for the Attachments or NIST Certificate tab to view the certificate directly within the monitoring software.
Why This Matters for Audits
Compliance: NIST-traceable certificates prove that your sensors are accurately measuring temperature and humidity within required margins.
Proactive Alerts: The portal can often be configured to send Renewal Email Notifications, alerting you when tags are nearing their expiration date so you can order freshly calibrated replacements before a lapse occurs.
