Babysense7 is included as a medical device on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG No. 97479). Battery operated, meaning no power source in and around the cot. The device is designed to continually monitor the breathing movement rate of your sleeping baby and if it begins to slow or cannot be detected. An audible alarm is activated if your baby’s breathing movement slows to a rate of less than 10 breaths per minute or cannot be detected for more than 20 seconds. The control unit connects to sensor pads placed under your baby’s mattress. Babysense7 is an additional aid to the normal precautions taken by families in the care of their infant during sleep. It is designed for use on healthy infants up to 12 months of age.
