Technology Helps Protect Sleeping Infants - And Gives Parents Peace Of Mind
By Online Tuesday, January 3, 2012
(West Hollywood, California)—In recent years the incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has been reducing, but it is still the leading cause of death for babies in their first year of life. Despite the overall reduction in SIDS, parents are still being cautious by turning to under-mattress movement monitoring devices on the market> These conventional devices have brought some comfort to parents but just not enough. The Snuza Halo is a small, light, portable device that provides a unique way to effectively monitor a sleeping infant.
How Does Snuza Halo Work?
The Snuza Halo monitors the baby’s movement by clipping, not to the crib mattress, but gently to the baby’s diaper near the stomach. This ultra sensitive motion detector monitors and recognizes the baby’s movement constantly. If the Snuza Halo does not sense movement within a 15 second time period, it does what you would do - try to stimulate your baby to breathe again. Snuza Halo does this by activating a pulsed vibration, which imitates a technique used by Hospital Neonatal Care Units worldwide called “Cutaneous Stimulation”. If movement is not sensed within a further 5 seconds of the vibration, an audible alarm is triggered to alert the parents to the problem.
