BM-02 BABY BREATHING MONITOR
The BM-02 Baby breathing monitor is a certifi ed Class IIb medical device that monitors a baby's breathing.
It cannot be used to restore vital functions and is not a therapeutic device. It does not replace proper childcare.
It is intended for use by health care providers and for care in the home environment. The product is intended to
provide a warning, by an optical and acoustic warning, that the respiration has stopped or the respiration rate has
decreased. It thus warns of the possible danger of respiratory arrest that may occur in young infants (for example,
due to sudden infant death syndrome - SIDS) or due to other causes (suffocation, an illness, etc.). Due to the
nature and purpose of use, no side effects and other contraindications are known.
BM-02 consists of a sensor pad with a sensitive detector that is placed under the baby's mattress and of an
electronic unit with indication lamps and an acoustic alarm. The device has a very simple control. It is battery
operated and runs its proper function auto-test upon startup. It does not affect or restrict the baby's movement.
In oxygen-enriched environments just the sensor pad can be used.
Recommended measures to reduce the risk of SIDS
o
Do not put the baby to sleep on her tummy but on her back or side.
o
Do not smoke during pregnancy and after childbirth in the presence of the baby, not even within resi-
dential premises. Nicotine has a proven inhibitory effect on the baby's respiratory center. Its presence
was repeatedly detected in the blood of dead babies. When in contact with her baby a mother-smoker
exhales cigarette smoke and nicotine residues even 30 minutes after fi nishing her last cigarette!
o
Make sure the baby is neither too warm nor too cold during sleep. Hyperthermia may boost bacteria
growth in the airways. Their presence may trigger a complex immunologic response that may even lead
even to a respiratory center arrest.
o
Leave the baby's head uncovered. Do not place any soft covers and pillows in the crib of a baby that is
not at least 12 months old and that could pull such covers or pillows over her head.
o
Do not use any straps in the crib, make sure the baby's toys are free of strings or tapes longer than 30
cm. Never place plastic bags in the crib.
