Why Respisense?
Respisense Baby Breathing Monitor heralds a completely new approach to baby monitoring, eliminating all the hazards of older designs and making monitoring easy and perfectly portable. It is the first cable-less breathing monitor and can be used from cot to crèche to grandmother’s lap.
There are three main differences between Respisense and other monitors of this type:
It is fitted to your babies nappy and measures your babies breathing even when they are not in their cot making it portable and much more versatile. It can be used in a hammock, while baby rests in their car seat, sleeps in their stroller or whilst baby takes a nap in your lap allowing you to rest too. It can be used safely away from home in motels and is ideal for camping.
It offers a proactive response to periods of inactivity or disruption to a babies breathing prior to the audible alarm that alerts the nearest caregiver.
It can be used with multiple babies that are co-sleeping and works individually on each infant.
Respisense can offer peace of mind to all parents of young babies including those that have infants prone to apnoea.
Do I need a sound monitor too?
Sound and video monitors are most suitable to know when baby becomes restless or cries for attention, i.e. when baby becomes too excited.
The Respisense Buzz monitor provides helpful assistance on the other, more important end of baby’s activity scale - when he or she becomes too quiet. By monitoring breathing movements and providing immediate gentle stimulation when breathing should stop it provides that added comfort of knowing you’ll be alerted when baby's breathing becomes too shallow or stops. The monitors alarm has been designed to be loud enough to be effective and safe (with regard to a baby’s sensitive and developing ears). If baby is not within easy earshot it is recommended that Respisense is used in conjunction with a sound monitor. This leaves parents free to choose the best sound monitor available to suit their specific nursery requirements, be it an analogue or digital version, with single or multiple channels, battery or mains operated, and with or without a video link.
Is Respisense safe? .
Respisense Baby Monitors were developed by a father and extensively tested on his own triplets for more than 2 years. By eliminating the hazards inherent in devices that use under-mattress sensor pads, these uniquely shaped monitors were designed to be the world's safest: they have no cables that can strangle a baby, no straps that can get caught and shut off blood circulation to hands or feet, and no mains connections that could wear and cause electrocution or start fires. There aren't even batteries to replace that could create choking hazards.
The monitors carry the CE mark of safety, conform to 2001/95/EC and 89/336/EEC requirements as certified by TUV Rheinland Quality Services, and are subject to ISO9001:2000 quality management processes. It is also Medsafe Registered in New Zealand.
How often do I need to replace batteries?
The special high-capacity, feather-light batteries used by the Respisense allow about a year's use, and would therefore not even need to be replaced during the first 6 to 8 months that babies are prone to SIDS. Safety of the monitors is further enhanced by sealing the batteries inside the units, protected from inquisitive explorers and preventing babies from chewing or choking on spent batteries. These eco-friendly power sources can be replaced by the manufacturer (for a fee- see below) for parents wishing to pass their monitors on or use them for subsequent children.
What about false alarms?
Loose wires or improper installation cause most false alarms in traditional breathing or movement monitors. Respisense monitors need not be tuned to their installation environment, and there are no wires or plug-connections that could become loose or wear over time.
What do Respisense monitors do?
Respisense monitors are baby breathing effort & movement detection monitors recommended for all babies under age 1, especially during their most vulnerable first 6 months, to help guard against life-threatening events.
Who needs Respisense monitors?
An audible alarm alerts the nearest caregiver when no breathing effort is detected for longer than 20 seconds. Also built-in is the unique breathing stimulator that gently rouses the baby to resume breathing before sounding the alarm, allowing an instantaneous response to unsafe periods of inactivity.
The ingenious design eliminates all cables, straps, glue and spent batteries that pose strangulation and choking hazards to young explorers. Each unit is completely maintenance free and runs a self-test routine every time it is activated. The Respisense breathing effort monitor is recommended for all babies to help guard against life threatening events, especially during their first 6 to 12 months.
This product is supplied with a 1 year warranty on all parts except the battery. The battery is designed to last for 1 year of 'normal' use (up to 16 hours per day). Battery warranty is 3 months.
"Because babies don't always sleep in their cots”
Respisense Baby Be Safe Monitor
Customer Testimonials
Last year we had premature twins (3 months early) and for our peace of mind, when they finally came out of hospital we purchased two sets of respisense.
Basically its a tiny monitor that simply clips onto your baby’s nappy. It monitors movement and breathing, and if it doesn't pick up either, a small light will flash and an alarm will sound which gets increasingly louder until its reset. Also, if no movement / breathing is detected the monitor will give a small buzz to stimulate the baby until you get to it and check everything is ok.
We found these so useful, and they meant we could get a few hours sleep (rather than sitting over the cots checking for breathing).
We bought two sets as we didn't know how long the batteries would last, and didn't want to be without them.
The first set lasted just under a year on continuous night and day use. Parents if your seeking reassurance while your little one is asleep I would definitely recommend respisence. Nov 2007
