YOUR NEWBORN FOOTPRINTING SOLUTION
Over one million babies scanned!
About Our Company
WHO ARE WE?
CertaScan provides a 21st century solution to identifying infants in hospitals using a modern scanning technology and patented system to scan the feet of newborn babies. Footprints from birth are a recognized and viable way to uniquely identify each baby. Use of these footprints for forensic identification can be utilized throughout the life of the child.
Based on years of experience in the maternity setting and with the guidance from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), we have created a new “Gold Standard” process for identifying infants that is simple to implement and use in a hospital setting. Our Infant Safety System not only provides the digital capture and storage of newborn footprints but also includes the option of adding security photos and mom's index fingerprint.
The CertaScan system consists of advanced scanning equipment, our patented software and affiliated services including installation, training and maintenance. We make it available at an affordable fee per scan providing hospitals and parents with usable identification in critical situations such as abduction, switched babies, natural disasters and abandonments.
With CertaScan, hospitals can use a newborn’s footprints for their originally intended important purpose of baby identification. We even provide hospitals with the tools to place these footprints into electronic medical records (EMRs). Our system has quickly gained praise from hospital administrators, nurses, parents and law enforcement agencies and officials. To date, the CertaScan Infant Safety System has been used to scan the footprints of more than one million newborns.
