Abstract
An infant identification and security system includes an umbilical cord clamp for being attached to the umbilical cord of an infant, a wristband for being worn on the infant's mother, a pair of information storage modules attached to the clamp and wristband, and a compatible terminal for reading and writing information to the storage modules. The modules contain distinctive identification information that is readable only by the terminal, and only after a predetermined password is entered into the terminal. A person wishing to carry the infant from a maternity ward is given permission to do so only after the identification information in her module is checked by hospital personnel for correspondence with the information in the infant's module. A pair of triggering elements are attached to the umbilical cord clamp for triggering a compatible alarm system when the infant is taken from the maternity ward.
