With SISS BABYCONTROL, you have purchased an easy-to-use device for monitoring the respiration in babies and infants. SISS BABYCONTROL issues an Alarm as soon as a dangerously long interruption to respiration occurs. SISS BABYCONTROL saves all processes automatically with an accuracy of seconds. Specific operating procedures for this purpose are not necessary.

These User Instructions must be carefully studied by all persons looking after your child. This will avoid errors in operation and misunderstandings. These User Instructions form part of the SISS BABYCONTROL monitor and must always be kept in its vicinity.
1 m distance of the monitor (look at the technical description at page 28). These devices can disrupt or render impossible the safe functioning of the SISS BABYCONTROL monitor. 4. Do not leave small parts (packaging materials etc.) in your child's bed. He/she could swallow them.
Brief Instructions: First Use Brief Instructions: First Use The following notes on first use will help you to quickly get used to operating the monitor. 1. Apply the blue respiration sensor as in Fig. 3. Secure the respiration sensor to the child’s body with the Leukosilk or Leukopor sticking plaster supplied.
Overview of Alarm and Fault Indications Overview of Alarm and Fault Indications Significance of the LED colors Green: Activity display of the respiration function Red: Patient alarm: the permitted pause in respiration has been exceeded Yellow: - Technical alarm: sensor error - Battery alarm Patient alarms are high-priority alarms.

Otherwise the monitor could fall into the bed and injure your child if the cable is pulled. Before switching on the SISS BABYCONTROL, first apply the respiration sensor to your child. => Brief Instructions: First Use Page 10 It is best to lead out the sensor cable at the foot end of the bed, so that your child will not use it as a toy.
Respiration monitoring Respiration monitoring Respiration sensing Respiration movements (diaphragm movements) are transformed into electrical signals by the piezo-element in the respiration sensor via compression / bending moments. The sensor sensitivity is largely determined by its location (next to the navel) and the strength of the diaphragm movement prevailing in that position.

Obstructive apneas, i.e. apneas caused by occlusion or blockage of the respiratory passages are not detected by the SISS BABYCONTROL.
Memory Function Memory Function The memory function is always enabled. No special operating procedures are required for this function The memory is a ‘non-volatile ring memory’, i.e. the stored data are not lost if the battery is removed. When the memory capacity is exceeded, the oldest data are overwritten.

Care and maintenance of the monitor Battery and rechargeable battery disposal / battery changing / battery alarm With average use, the life of a battery will be approximately 6 to 8 weeks. Before the actual battery alarm, the monitor will give a battery warning: the yellow LED will flash every 10 seconds during operation.
