No, because the Sense-U Baby Monitor is not a medical device, it cannot be used to diagnose, treat, relieve, or prevent any disease or health condition, or to examine, replace, or modify any physiological process. You are in charge of your baby's health and well-being, as well as adhering to safe sleep, health, and care guidelines.

It depends on how many alerts you require. All babies who need to monitor their breathing and temperature while sleeping can use the breathing and temperature alarms. The rollover alarm is for babies up to 6 months old, or until they can roll over on their own.

The Sense-U Baby Monitor runs on a CR2032 coin battery, which lasts between 1 and 2 months depending on usage and other settings. The battery indicator light will flash GREEN when the battery level is normal and RED when the battery level is less than 20% when you hit the On/Off button in the app.

The Sense-U Baby Monitor and your smartdevice communicate using Bluetooth Low Energy, which emits low levels of radiation. Wi-Fi is required just when registering your device and logging into the app for the first time before using it.

Attach the clip accessory to the diaper to the maximum extent of the clip, then snap the Sense-U baby monitor into the ring of the clip accessory. To avoid false breathing alarms and incorrect sleeping position readings, make sure the Sense-U baby monitor is close to baby's abdomen around the belly button area, and the baby display is in the same direction as baby's body position. Avoid sandwiching clothing or other material between the clip attachment and the sensor device on the Sense-U Baby monitors with the revised clip design. At your own risk, it may break the attachment and cause false alarms.

The Sense-U Baby Monitor needs to work with the Sense-U Baby app on Apple iOS and Android devices supporting BT4.0 and up. The Sense-U app is available on Apple Store and Google Play.

For Android, you can also download the app by clicking the following link: https://goo.gl/vAALyS

Shake the device twice. It initiates Bluetooth pairing and you should be able to see light flashing from the device.

Replace a new CR2032 coin battery using the blue plastic pry bar in the package.

* If no light comes out, make sure the battery compartment springs touch the +/- of the battery properly.

Bluetooth of your smart device needs to turn on to connect.

* For Android phones, please make sure Location is enabled for the Sense-U App in Settings->Connections->Location and Settings->Apps->Sense-U Baby->Permissions. Or else it may not be able to pair with the device.

If still no luck, check if your smart device is in the Compatibility List available on https://www.products.sense-u.com/baby

In default, breathing alarm is turned off for power saving purpose. Switch it on from App->Setup->Manage Alerts->Breathing Alert and the breathing reading will show up in several minutes. Restart your smart device and reopen the Sense-U app if it still doesn't show up.

Make sure the device is clipped on snug fit clothing. Meanwhile, you can adjust Activation Period in App->Setup->Manage Alerts->Breathing Alert for different breathing patterns.

For audible alarms, notifications need to switch on for the Sense-U app in Settings->Notifications->Sense-U Baby. For iOS device, make sure your smartphone is not in Do Not Disturb mode.

The Sense-U Baby uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology which has neglectable radiation level and an open-air distance up to 50 feet (15m).

A good new is, we just launched the Sense-U Base Station, which allows you to see your baby's vitals from ANYWHERE. For more information, visit us at: www.sense-u.com

The current research indicates that home breathing monitors don’t prevent SIDS.

They can alert you to an apnea episode where your baby temporarily stops breathing. Still, the American Academy of Pediatrics says that these episodes are normal in the first months of life and may not be linked to SIDS. It’s especially common to witness apnea episodes if your baby is a preemie.

You shouldn’t rely on baby breathing monitors to prevent SIDS alone. Instead, use safe sleep recommendations including:

● Putting your baby to sleep on her back

● Using a firm crib mattress which is new

● Avoiding loose bedding or toys in the crib

● Not bedsharing

● Keeping your child in your bedroom for the first six months of life

Even though the research says these monitors don’t protect babies against SIDS, they can still provide peace of mind in some circumstances.

There’s no shortage of reviewers who believe that a baby monitor saved their child’s life:

● An Amazon reviewer who bought Babysense reported that the product alerted him to a 20-second apnea episode in his daughter, and he feels that the device could have saved her life.

● Another Amazon shopper reported that Babysense alerted her to an apnea episode caused by her child’s sleep sack being wrapped around her face.

While it’s impossible to say that all baby breathing monitors are safe, the newer models are certainly taking on board safety concerns into their designs.

The main safety checks to do with any baby monitor are:

● Loose cables. Choose monitors with cordless operation or minimal cables to lessen strangulation hazards (Nanit uses a cord management system that stows extra wires under a hard cover where your baby can’t find them.) Always make sure that any cables are secured tightly and placed well out of reach of baby.

● Secure mounting. Use a tip-proof stand or secure wall-mounting to ensure the monitor never comes into contact with your baby

● Hacker safety. There have been some stories of hackers accessing the monitors and even tapping into the audio to shout through them. Check that your monitor is using high level encryption, change the password to a strong password of your own (ideally without names or dates) and keep the devices up to date or enable automatic updates.

Talk to your doctor about how long to use a baby breathing monitor. There’s no set recommendation that’s right for every baby.

SIDS risk peaks by four months, decreases after six months, and almost disappears by 12 months. If your child doesn’t have other risk factors such as illness, you may feel comfortable to stop monitoring at the six- or 12-month mark.

Always talk to your child’s doctor before stopping your child’s monitor use if there’s a medical condition involved.
