baby sleeps.

What does
Babysense™ do?
Babysense™
monitors even the smallest
micro-movements of the baby and sounds a
loud alarm if the movement becomes slow
or stops.

I have a
sound or video baby monitor already. Why
do I need Babysense™?
Monitoring sound or watching baby by
camera does not provide a clear
indication of the baby's condition.
Babysense™ provides a flashing green
light as baby moves, and sounds a loud
alarm if activity problems are detected.
Babysense™ is a critical addition to any
monitoring system parents are using to
ensure baby is safe.

Why
Babysense™?
Babysense™ was the first of the "new
age" baby movement monitors. Developed
and patented in Israel in 1992,
Babysense™ has been on the international
market since 1994 making it the most
highly experienced baby monitor
available. All derivations available
today on the market are a result of this
breakthrough in development. Babysense™
is the only home baby movement monitor
to carry complete CE registration as a
Medical Device. Our first commitment is
to your baby’s safety, and we made the
unit simple and safe to use at home
while reliably used even in children’s
hospital units world over.

Is it
safe?
Movement
monitors are NOT perfect. Babysense™ has
a long record of use (since 1992) it is
a registered baby safety device in
Europe and most importantly, it has a
well proven record of reports from
parents and hospitals worldwide. It has
a very low rate of "false" alarms. Here
is an excerpt from an interview with a
Czech pediatrician of the Slovac SIDS
Foundation, MUDr. M. Kuchta CSc:
"IT IS NOT TO BE IGNORED THAT ALL OF THE
BABIES IN OUR PROGRAM [MONITORED BY
BABYSENSE] ARE ALIVE." (Diet’a 1:1998)
The device is non-invasive, omits no
waves, electric current or side effects.

Why two
Sensor Pads?
Babysense™ is sold with two large sensor
pads The device adapts to your baby’s
weight and movement as she/he grows. For
newborn babies, in bassinette or full
sized crib, one sensor pad under the
mattress where the baby sleeps gives
ultimate sensitivity. For babies over 3
months old, who crawl in bed, Babysense™
does not restrict movement. The
connector cable enables both sensors to
be attached for complete coverage of the
sleeping area!

How does
Babysense™ work?
Babysense™ sensor pads register the
movement of your baby’s body weight and
the algorithms of the control unit’s
microprocessor is designed to recognize
the rhythm/rate of this movement!
Babysense™ is not just another movement
monitor, because it has parameters that
define activity rates that are too slow
(under 10 micro-movements per minute) or
too fast (over 90 micro-movements per
minute) or no movement for 20 seconds.

What
about false alarms?
False
alarms cannot be completely avoided by
any monitor. Some alarms may in fact be
"true" alarms in cases where the alarm
actually stimulates the baby into
activity on his own! The important thing
is to check that baby is O.K. In
Babysense™ we have seen that most false
alarms are caused by loose wires or
improper installment, and checking the
installation (or advice of your local
distributor) may solve the problem.
Babysense™ has been tested and proven to
have a very low rate (under 1% ) of
false alarms.

|
Why does
Babysense™ not have a feature of
adjustable sensitivity?
We
believe that simple and good is best.
Sometimes adjusting the sensitivity
supposedly to reduce unidentified or
"false" alarms may increase the chance
of missing a "true" alarm. Babysense™
has proven itself over the years with
this guideline.

|
|
Is there
a restriction of mattress thickness?
Babysense™ is designed to work optimally
with rubber mattresses, which are the
usual standard for baby cribs. In rubber
or spring mattresses no limit has been
observed. Difficulty may arise using
straw stuffed mattresses, thickness
limited to under 10 cm.
Top
|
|
Can we
use Babysense™ with a box spring crib?
Net bottomed bassinette?
Babysense™ can be used with most bed
types, However a hard flat surface
(plywood board) must exist or be placed
UNDER the sensor pad/s for correct
pressure!
Top
|
|
Should
baby lay directly on the pads?
Babysense™
sensor pads are placed under the
mattress, never coming into contact with
baby. For optimum sensitivity the baby’s
torso should be placed over area of pad.
Top
|
|
Can we
travel with Babysense™?
Absolutely! Since the unit is activated
on batteries only there is no question
of voltage or power supply. It is
important to do a routine testing of the
device in a new setup to avoid
disturbance (set up the unit in bed,
without baby. Turn on Babysense™, do not
touch bed. Alarm should sound within
less than 20 seconds. If green light
flashes, something is causing rhythmic
movement of the bed (fan? window?
mobile? your hand?) find and remove it
and check again. Made sure you can hear
the alarm from wherever you may be!

Until
what age is Babysense™ movement monitor
recommended?
Babysense™
recognizes the defined rate of activity
for infants (over 10 and under 90
micro-movements per minute). This is
average activity rate for an infant from
birth until 12-18 months. Between the
age of 12-18 months, this activity rate
slows. The slower rate may cause false
alarms. For this reason Babysense™ is
recommended until 1 year of age. 2) By
definition and statistics, SIDS (Crib
Death) is rare beyond one year of age.

|
Is
Babysense™ also a sound or video
monitor?
NO -
Babysense™ is focused on monitoring
micro-movements only. There are many
other products on the market that are
sound or video monitors, each with its
own feature set. This enables parents to
choose the sound monitor most suitable
for their range, budget and environment
irrespective of the Babysense™ use.

How does
Babysense™ compare with other Baby
Monitors on the market?
Babysense™
is the original monitor with a track
record of well over 10 years. Babysense™
has European approval as a medical
device and is even used in hospitals and
recommended by doctors. It is highly
accurate and ensures minimum false
alarms and maximum parental confidence.

|
Can you
explain the difference in price between
Babysense™ and other baby monitors
available?
YES -
Babysense™ is designed to be highly
accurate. As such, no compromise has
been made with any components. For
example, Babysense™ is always shipped
with two sensor pads to ensure complete
coverage. In our judgment, with products
such as Babysense™ accuracy is more
important than price.
