Levana Oma Sense Manual

Introduction

Introducing Oma Sense, Levana's simplest movement monitor that alerts you when no movement is detected. We know how tempting it is to check on your little one. When they're sleeping peacefully, that should be your time to relax.
In the event that no movement is detected for 15 seconds, Oma Sense will initiate fluctuating vibrations, LED lights and audible alerts to stimulate baby and encourage the return of regular movement.
If regular movement has not been re-established 5 seconds after the first alert, an emergency alarm with sounds and LED lights is initiated to alert parents that attention is needed.
This product was designed with a patented one-handed clip for simple attaching, adjusting and removing, and made with medical grade materials, because your little one deserves the best.

Using the Device

Start-Up & Shut Down

Power ON
Turn on Oma Sense by pressing the power ON button (located on the left of the device). When the device is turned on it will go through a self-test to ensure all features are working. This will activate all indicator lights, vibrations, and sounds in a random sequence.

• Alert Indicator - Tests the Alert LED function and will flash RED
• Reassurance Indicator – Tests the Reassurance LED function and will flash BLUE
• Battery Indicator – Tests the Battery status
  • Flashing GREEN when there is sufficient power
  • Flashing RED when the battery is low and needs to be replaced
• Vibration & Sound – Tests the alerts function and will vibrate and sound the alarm

The self-test lasts for a few seconds. The BLUE LED will flash continuously for approx. 30 seconds and will then flash every 30 seconds to indicate that Oma Sense is monitor baby's movement.

Power OFF
Turn off Oma Sense by pressing the Power OFF button (located on the right of the device). The device will check the battery status when powering off.

• GREEN flash to indicate the battery is good
• RED flash to indicate the battery needs to be changed before next use.

When Oma Sense turns off, monitoring will stop.

Proper Placement

Optimal placement is just above the navel area where maximum belly movement can be monitored. Oma Sense monitors core body movement to stimulate baby when movement is not detected and alert you when attention is needed. Direct contact with baby's skin is not required, however is completely safe.

Proper Oma Sense Placement: Waistband Application

Proper Oma Sense Placement: Button-up Sleeper Application

Only use Oma Sense when baby is in a motionless bed/cot. Do not use in a car seat, stroller, swing or other mobile carrier as motion negates the functionality of the monitor. Oma Sense is not suitable for co-sleeping, tummy or side sleeping.

Secure your Unit and Start Monitoring

Clip Oma Sense on your baby's button up sleeper or pajama waistband on the tummy area (see proper placement in section above and on the Proper Placement insert). Oma Sense is now monitoring your little one's movements.
If using blankets on baby, ensure the alarm can still be heard. If attaching Oma Sense to a diaper, make sure that the waistband is snug on baby's tummy and high enough to detect proper movement. If the device is not placed in the optimal position, false alerts could occur.

The Reassurance Indicator flashes blue every 30 seconds to let you know baby's movements are being detected. In the event that no movement is detected for 15 seconds, Oma Sense will initiate randomized vibrations and audible alerts to stimulate baby and encourage the return of regular movement. If regular movement has not been re-established 5 seconds after the first alert has completed, an emergency alarm with LED lights and audible alerts will notify parents that attention is required.
The device will check the battery status when being powered off. A GREEN flash indicates the battery is good. A RED flash indicates the battery needs to be changed before the next use. When Oma Sense turns off, it will no longer monitor movement.

TIP: To extend the distance the alarm can be heard, Levana recommends using Oma Sense together with an Audio or Video Baby Monitor. Visit www.mylevana.com to view our complete line of Levana Baby Monitors.

Alerts

Oma Sense was designed with WakeUp Technology which features fluctuating vibrations, LED and audible alerts to increase baby's response to stimuli.

Stimulation Alert

• If no movement is detected for 15 seconds, Oma Sense uses a patented anti-sensory adaptation algorithm to sound an audible alarm with flashing LEDs and gentle vibration to stimulate your baby and encourage the return of regular movement.
• If movement returns the Reassurance Indicator will return to flashing BLUE every 30 seconds and will continue to monitor baby's movement.
  NOTE: Each time an alert occurs the BLUE LED will flash every 3 seconds for the first 30 seconds and then will return to every 30 seconds.

Emergency Alarm

• If movement does not return 5 seconds after the Stimulation Alert, Oma Sense sounds an emergency alarm with flashing LED lights and audible alarm to alert parents attention is needed. Oma Sense will encourage movement with a short period of vibrations, while you get to your baby. The alerts and lights will continue until the device is powered off.

Battery Care

Installation & Replacement

ATTENTION: This product contains small parts. Exercise care when unpacking and installing the battery. Failure to do so can result in choking or death. Coin size batteries can cause serious injuries if swallowed that can lead to death. Call 911 immediately if this occurs.

• When replacing a depleted battery ALWAYS turn the device off BEFORE changing the battery.
• Tip: Use a large coin to open and close the battery door.

Battery Life

Replace the battery as soon as the Low power RED LED is shown to ensure Oma Sense is working properly. Your Oma Sense comes with an extra battery to make sure you are ready to change the battery when needed. We recommend you ALWAYS have a replacement battery on hand. Replacement batteries can be purchased through www.mylevana.com. NOTE: Failure to use a Panasonic CR2450 battery in the Oma Sense device will void the Levana warranty.

Safe Sleep Tips

• Always place your baby alone and on their back to sleep.
• Use a crib that meets current safety standards. Use a firm mattress that fits snugly in the crib and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
• Do not put anything soft, loose, or fluffy in your baby's sleep space. This includes pillows, blankets, comforters, bumper pads, stuffed animals, toys, or other soft items.
• Use a wearable blanket or similar type sleeper instead of traditional blankets to keep your baby safe and warm.
• Avoid falling asleep with your baby in your bed, couch, or armchair.
• Never allow your baby to sleep on any soft surfaces such as adult or child sized beds, sofas, chairs, waterbeds, pillows, cushions, comforters, sheepskins, or anything similar.
• Do not use pillows, wedges, or positioners to prop your baby up, keep them on their backs, or prevent them from rolling.
• Make sure your baby doesn't get too warm. Use light sleepwear on your baby and keep the room temperature comfortable for a lightly-clothed adult.
• Educate everyone who cares for your baby about these rules for sleep!
