Respiration monitoring
Respiration sensing
Respiration movements (diaphragm movements) are transformed into
electrical signals by the piezo-element in the respiration sensor via
compression / bending moments. The sensor sensitivity is largely
determined by its location (next to the navel) and the strength of the
diaphragm movement prevailing in that position.
In special cases of shallow breathing, the respiration sensing on the
monitor can be switched to a more sensitive setting:

Position E: Sensitive

Alarm delay
Babies occasionally experience interruptions in respiration of more
than 10 seconds. This is not unusual. These irregularities in the
respiratory rhythm decline with increasing age and, in most cases,
they have disappeared by three years of age. If, however, the
respiratory arrest exceeds the above-specified period and/or occurs
more frequently, then your baby may be at risk. To compensate for
individual fluctuations, the delay time after which the alarm is
given can be adjusted.
Setting the respiration alarm time
Attention: Alter the limit values only when the monitor is switched off.
Changes to the limit values become effective only when the monitor
is switched on again (child safeguard).
