The Respisense is registered and approved by the FDA A new level of protection for your baby
Respisense is the world's first super-safe, perfectly portable infant breathing effort monitor with proactive response. The award-winning and patented invention is so compact and light that it can be used wherever baby may fall asleep.
Respisense™, simply clips onto the waistband of a nappy, quietly and unobtrusively monitors baby's tummy movements while asleep and will alert the nearest caregiver after 20 seconds of inactivity.
In addition, the unique and proactive TummyTickle™ tactile stimulator of the Buzz model will gently act as baby's "wake-up" call after an initial 15 seconds of inactivity, sounding the alarm 5 seconds later if tummy movement does not resume. 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 apnoea of prematurity, cot death and other life threatening events, especially during their first 6 to 12 months.
Clinically-tested Respisense™ is the pioneer in absolutely portable movement monitoring, and no other monitor can lay claim to its unique combination of freedom of movement, safety in design, proactive response and proven track record. Respisense™ can be used practically anywhere baby may fall asleep - in a cot, on a picnic blanket or in grandmother's lap. Co-sleeping babies, be it multiples in one cot or babies in need of special care, can now be monitored safely while sharing a bed or sleeping next to mother. Respisense™ can also easily be used in a hammock-style sleeper, where traditional monitors cannot work. It is simply the safest, most portable and convenient instrument for monitoring baby's tummy movements and has proved itself in thousands of homes.
Respisense simply fits onto your baby’s nappy - it’s that simple!

FAQ on Respisense
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.
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.
What is SIDS?
SIDS is an acronym for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also known as crib death or cot death. SIDS is not an illness or disease; it is the diagnosis given when an apparently healthy baby less than one year old, dies without warning.
Which babies are most at risk?
All babies under one year of age are at risk from SIDS. Doctors still have no way to pinpoint those with the most susceptible defects or abnormalities. Some children, however, have a risk of SIDS higher than the general population. SIDS is most common in infants between one and four months of age. SIDS strikes most often, but not always during periods of extended sleep. The risk is greater in boys, premature babies and those of low birth weight.
How can I reduce my baby's risk of SIDS?
Your doctor can suggest a number of things (see below) to decrease your baby's risk, but at present there is no guaranteed way to prevent SIDS. However, state of the art techniques now allow for the precise monitoring of a baby's vital functions during sleep. Nanny is an affordable device suitable for such monitoring not just in the maternity ward, but at home as well.
Advice to carers of young infants.
Place your baby on their back to sleep.
