Understanding the Updated Gabi Product Nomenclature & Traceability

To improve device tracking and streamline data logging across all research sites, we have updated our product nomenclature. This guide breaks down the components of a Gabi system, clarifies the deprecated codes, and provides best practices for identifying your equipment.

1. Product Component Overview

A complete Gabi Kit consists of four key elements:

• Gabi Sensor: The white square pod placed directly on the child (the primary data collection device).

• Gabi Band: The textile strap used to attach the sensor to the child.

• Gabi Tablet: The hardware device hosting the user interface.

• Gabi App: The application pre-installed on the tablet to record and sync data.

2. Legacy vs. New Nomenclature

Under the former system, the prefix GK- was used to designate both the full kit and the tablet itself. This caused confusion during logging. The GK- designation (and former sensor tag GBB-) has been officially discontinued.

3. Best Practices for LORIS & Log Form Entry

When logging equipment in your setup forms (such as LORIS):

• Recommended Option (Sensor-First): Enter the GB-xx ID (the Gabi Sensor's serial number). Because the sensor directly captures physiological data, tracking GB-xx ensures absolute accuracy and eliminates mismatches if a tablet ever needs replacing.

• Alternative Option (Kit-First): You may enter GS-xx to reference the entire kit. If you use GS-xx, your site is responsible for maintaining strict internal pairing, ensuring the specific GB-xx sensor is always paired with its designated GS-xx set.

Note: The tablet serial number (TB-yyy) serves hardware support functions and does not impact physiological data tracking.
