There are several factors that you must keep in mind when installing the OM500. The first factor is that the device is designed to be installed only on the human ankle. If the offender is wearing work boots or high‐top tennis shoes, you must have the offender remove them in order to install the device onto the ankle. Please pay close attention not to install the device higher on the calf which could result in undetected removal attempts. The second factor that should be considered is the condition of the ankle. If the ankle appears to be swollen, you need to inquire as to why. Some ankles are swollen due to an offender being overweight, however, often times swollen ankles are due to a medical condition such as diabetes, pregnancy, or due to medications. Offenders that have been in custody and are taking medications for mental health conditions ...
