Breathing Movement Monitors

A breathing movement monitor is a device designed to detect and monitor the breathing movements of your baby while they sleep. It provides peace of mind through an audible alarm, which 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 monitor works by using highly sensitive sensors placed under the baby’s mattress to detect the slightest movements. If no movement is detected within a specific timeframe, the monitor will sound an alarm to alert the parents.

The Oricom breathing movement monitor is designed to work with most standard baby mattress. However, it’s always best to check the product specifications to ensure compatibility with your particular mattress type.

The sensors are extremely sensitive and can detect even the smallest movements of your baby’s breathing. They are designed to provide monitoring without false alarms, however a daily test is recommended to ensure the device is working as required.

The monitor provides both audible and visual alerts. If no breathing movement is detected for a certain period, an alarm will sound, and an indicator light will flash to alert the parents.

The sensitivity of the pads is pre set to ensure that the device works optimally. There is no user setting to alter the sensitivity of the pads, and that is intentional.
