What do Respisense monitors do?

Respisense™ monitors all tummy movements of a baby, including breathing efforts. If movements cease, slow down too much or become too shallow the built-in tactile stimulator (on the Buzz model) will act as baby's "wake-up call", and if movement does not resume a loud alarm will alert the nearest caregiver.

Why Respisense?

Respisense pioneered a completely new approach to baby monitoring, eliminating all the hazards of older designs and making monitoring easy and perfectly portable. It is the world's first cable-less movement monitor and can be used from cot to créche to grandmother's lap. Respisense monitors are particularly suitable for all babies, be they at home or elsewhere, because trouble doesn't just happen in cots and no other monitor allows the freedom of movement, safety in design and proven track record that Respisense does.

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™ monitor provides helpful assistance on the other, arguably more important end of baby's activity scale - when baby becomes silent and motionless. By monitoring tummy movements directly it provides the comfort of knowing you'll be alerted should baby become dangerously inactive, and in addition the Respisense Buzz models will provide proactive, gentle tactile stimulation even before human intervention. Designed as a highly specialised, intelligent and feature-rich movement monitoring instrument that is exceptionally easy to use, Respisense leaves parents free to choose the best sound monitor available to complement the nursery should they wish.

Some movement monitors generate audible alarms at dangerously high levels that can damage a baby's hearing. A Respisense alarm is loud and piercing and can be heard quite far, but at a safe level below 86dB. Adding a simple sound monitor to your nursery will enable you to relay the Respisense alarm sound to where you are without potentially damaging baby's hearing.

Parents with a need to relay the alarm sound to other parts or outside areas of their properties can select a sound monitor most suitable to their needs and particular circumstances from the extensive range of baby sound monitors ("baby phones") that are available on the market. You can select from simple sound monitors, sound-and-video monitors or sound- and temperature monitors, using digital or analogue technology, with single, dual or multiple-channels, in rechargeable or mains operated versions and with or without channel hopping. The choice is yours!

Co-sleeping

Mothers who are concerned about falling asleep while breastfeeding can use a Respisense to keep their babies monitored if they should doze off. Parents with a need to co-sleep can also benefit greatly from the use of these unobtrusive little devices.

Tummy-sleeping

Although we concur with leading professionals that babies should ideally sleep on their backs some mothers find that their babies insist on sleeping in other positions. Feedback from actual parents who have used our monitors with babies sleeping on their sides or tummies prove that Respisense can be relied upon even under these circumstances, giving added assurance to parents of adamant tummy-sleepers.

Is Respisense safe?

Respisense™ was designed by a doting father and extensively tested on his own triplets for more than 2 years. By eliminating the hazards inherent in other designs, these unique monitors were designed to be the world's safest: they have no cables that can strangle a baby, no straps that can constrict blood circulation to hands or feet, and no mains connections that could wear and cause electrocution or start fires. It is made of hypo-allergenic and fracture-resistant materials, doesn't require silicon or latex parts to be in constant contact with your baby's skin and has no soft protrusions that can be chewed off and choked upon. The monitors use no radioactive material and generate no radio or ultra-high frequency emissions. There aren't even batteries to replace that could create choking hazards.
