Abstract:
An incontinence detection pad has an RFID tag in which an authentication code, such as an electronic product code (EPC), is stored. A reader in wireless communication with the RFID tag of the incontinence detection pad verifies that the incontinence detection pad is an authorized detection pad. Thus, unauthorized incontinence detection pads that do not have the proper authentication code are not able to be used in an incontinence detection system.

Claim (Index 8):
An incontinence detection system comprising\n an incontinence detection pad for placement beneath a person to be monitored, the incontinence detection pad having a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag storing an authentication code which is common to all incontinence detection pads that are authorized for use in the incontinence detection system, a reader having circuitry in which the authentication code is also stored, and at least one antenna coupled to the reader, wherein the reader is operable to send a request to the RFID tag via the at least one antenna and to read via the at least one antenna data emitted from the RFID tag in response to the request, the reader is configured to confirm that the incontinence detection pad is an authorized incontinence detection pad by determining that the data received from the RFID tag includes the authentication code, wherein the reader is configured to transmit a message indicating that the authorized incontinence detection pad is wet if the data received from the RFID tag indicates that the incontinence detection pad is wet, wherein the reader does not transmit the message if the data does not include the authentication code.
