IMPORTANT WARNING
Use in an incubator
The Nanny Breathing Monitor can also be used in an incubator.
Only the sensor pad can be placed in an oxygen-enriched
environment, the control unit must always be located outside.
Prior to use, make sure that the incubator does not cause
vibrations that could lead to false detection of the child’s
movement.
Monitoring twins
When using the Nanny BM-03 breathing monitor for twins, the
basic condition is that each child must have its own cot,
in which a separate breathing monitor is installed. Therefore,
the same control unit cannot be connected to 2 sensor pads.
For the device to work properly and evaluate the impulses, the
cots must not be touching each other.
Age of the baby
Use of the Nanny Breathing Monitor is not determined by the
child’s age, but by its weight. The manufacturer recommends
a Nanny breathing monitor for children from a min. weight of 1
kg and a max. weight of up to 15 kg. A heavier child may cause
mechanical damage to the sensor.
Correctly placing the
control unit
The acoustic indicator of the monitor’s control unit must not
face the child and must be placed at least 0.5 meters away
from the child’s head to prevent possible damage to its hearing.
Correct placement
of the cot
The device uses a very sensitive sensor to sense breathing. Its
operation may be affected by shocks to the cot, the floor or even
the building. The cot must therefore not touch a bed, in which
another person is sleeping, nor must it touch or be in the vicinity
of any devices that vibrate.
Use in a pram or cradle
We do not recommend this use! A pram or cradle can move
spontaneously, which can lead to “false movements” being
detected. It is only possible to use the breathing monitor in
places where the sleeping area is fixed and does not touch
anything.
Using another sensor pad
This medical device is not intended to be used with other me-
dical devices. The monitor will not turn on if a different type of
sensor pad or one from a different manufacturer is
connected to it. Likewise, the BM-03D sensor pad cannot be
used in combination with another type of monitor from another
manufacturer.
Mattresses
Most commonly available mattresses can be used with the
breathing monitor. The mattress should be 12 cm thick at most.
It is not recommended to use mattresses made of too hard a
material (polystyrene foam, etc.), which can more easily absorb
interfering shocks from the surrounding air moving.
