A smarter way to upgrade your existing sensor mats — without replacing what still works

Upgrading technology in aged care and healthcare environments often presents a difficult choice: improve your system or replace fully functional equipment. At Indigo Care, we believe upgrades should be simple, cost-effective, and non-disruptive.

That’s why we developed the Wireless USB-AB Transmitter (MED-RTU-USBAB) — a wireless sensor mat transmitter designed to convert existing sensor mats into a modern wireless monitoring system, without the need for full equipment replacement.


Upgrade to Wireless Without Replacing Existing Equipment

The Indigo Care Wireless USB-AB Transmitter allows facilities to transition to wireless monitoring while continuing to use their current sensor mats.

Instead of discarding working equipment, you can now upgrade its functionality instantly — reducing waste, saving costs, and minimising disruption to care environments.


One Transmitter. Dual Compatibility. Broad Integration.

The USB-AB Transmitter features both USB-A and USB-B female connections, enabling compatibility with a wide range of sensor mats currently used across the healthcare and aged care sectors.

This dual-port design means that many existing USB-B sensor mats can be directly integrated into Indigo Care’s wireless ecosystem without modification or replacement.


Protect Your Investment While Advancing Technology

Replacing all sensor mats at once is often unnecessary when they still have reliable service life remaining. The USB-AB Transmitter supports a phased, practical upgrade approach that allows facilities to:

  • Continue using existing sensor mats
  • Transition to a modern wireless monitoring system
  • Upgrade progressively at a manageable pace

This approach helps reduce capital expenditure while still improving monitoring capability and system efficiency.


Seamless Integration with the Indigo Care Wireless Ecosystem

The Wireless USB-AB Transmitter is designed to integrate smoothly with Indigo Care’s wireless infrastructure, including:

  • Wireless Receiver Box (RRU)
  • Dual Function Universal Call Point (UCPV5.1)
  • Indigo Care USB Sensor Mats

Powered by ID-encoded RF technology, the system delivers secure, reliable, and interference-resistant communication — essential for high-dependency care environments where performance and consistency matter.


Built for Real-World Healthcare Environments

Healthcare and aged care settings demand durable, dependable equipment. The USB-AB Transmitter has been designed with practical daily use in mind, featuring:

  • Compact, robust housing to reduce damage risk and trip hazards
  • Selectable call delay (1 or 3 seconds) to reduce false alarms
  • Enhanced wireless sensitivity with an integrated antenna
  • Stable and secure electrical connectivity

These features ensure reliable operation in busy, high-traffic care environments.


A Simple Upgrade Path with Long-Term Benefits

The Wireless USB-AB Transmitter is more than a hardware upgrade — it’s a practical pathway to future-proofing your facility.

By enabling existing equipment to remain in service, it removes one of the biggest barriers to system modernisation: cost and operational disruption. When sensor mats eventually reach end-of-life, your facility will already be fully integrated into the Indigo Care wireless system.


Upgrade Without Replacing Everything

The Indigo Care USB-AB Transmitter provides one of the simplest ways to transition to wireless monitoring without unnecessary replacement costs or downtime.

Keep what works. Upgrade what matters. Move forward with confidence.
