FAQ
QUESTION ANSWER
Can I use the Movement Monitor with reusable/
cloth diapers?
Yes. If the cloth diapers are too thick for attachment,
the movement monitor should be securely attached
to the diaper cover or waterproof pants - ensure a
snug fit so that the movement monitor maintains
body contact. You may need to position the
movement monitor slightly to the side to ensure
maximum contact.
Can the movement monitor be used with a baby
that sleeps on his tummy?
The movement monitor relies on movement in the
area where the sensor is located. Usually, when
sleeping on its back (as recommended by the World
Health Organization). The sensor contained in the
tip of the movement monitor should be located as
close to the tummy as possible as this is where most
of the baby's breathing movements occur. Because
of the restriction of the mattress, when baby sleeps
on its tummy, tummy movements are reduced.
When sleeping on the tummy, more breathing
movements occur at the baby's sides than when
sleeping on the back. You will need try and position
the movement monitor away from the tummy (to
avoid discomfort to baby), and place towards the
sides where you can visibly see movement. There
is a greater possibility of false alarms occurring
in this position, however after a few trials you will
find a position to attach the movement monitor
that will provide successful monitoring of breathing
movement. Please also be aware that if your baby
sleeps on its tummy, alarm sounds may be muffled,
therefore the use of an audio/video monitor may
be required.
Is the movement monitor safe?
Absolutely! Baby's safety is paramount. Our
movement monitors utilize an ultra-low voltage
(3.0V) battery, emits no radiation and has no side
effects. The Movement Sensor Tip is made from
a medical grade polycarbonate FDA approved
thermoplastic-elastomer which is completely
synthetic and latex free thereby minimizing
allergy risks.
Is the movement monitor rechargeable?
No, the battery is non-rechargeable however it can
be replaced. Use only a CR14250, 3.0V battery, which
is available to purchase at www.mylevana.com.
Until what age is the movement monitor
recommended? Levana recommends that Oma be used until the age
of 1 year.
