Babysense II includes two sensor panels, which fit safely under the mattress and constantly senses and responds to baby’s breathing and movement. Breathing motions trigger a green flashing light. If the baby stops breathing for more than 20 seconds or if the breathing rate drops below 10 breaths in a minute, a loud alarm is sounded.

These could be signs of something easily fixed like the baby rolling face down or against the side of the cot. Occasionally it is something more serious like Central Apnea which is considered one of the causes of Infant Crib Death Syndrome (S.I.D.S). We have seen that Babysense can also alert when these signs indicate a cold, high fever or other illness.

Babysense II is an Australian Standards Compliant and Therapeutic Goods Administration approved Medical device used in worldwide homes and hospitals for over 10 years. Monitoring is done without touching the baby. The sensors are connected to s small battery operated control unit clipped to the side of baby’s bed. There is no connection to any electrical outlet.

A recent scientific journal published a 7 year study using the Babysense system on over 8000 babies and found that all survived.

PLEASE NOTE: Babysense does not prevent anything happening to your baby any more than a smoke alarm prevents a house fire HOWEVER, like a smoke alarm, Babysense is a system of intervention that allows you to react and respond early to an adverse event
