Baby movement monitors work exceptionally great, letting you keep track of your child’s movement while you do your daily chores. These monitors provide an efficient early warning that helps reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Thankfully, Levana created a product that is complex and keeps every baby safe, but it’s super-simple to use.
The Levana Oma Sense is an advanced wearable baby movement monitor that can detect abdominal movements every 80 milliseconds without touching your baby’s skin, featuring a simple one-handed clip, making it convenient to attach to, adjust, or remove from your baby’s pants, right above the tummy area.
This advanced baby movement monitor uses WakeUp Technology to constantly monitor a baby’s tummy movements, ultimately providing the relief that parents need whenever they aren’t close-by their baby’s side.
Now, let’s have a closer look at it and check out exactly how this wearable baby movement monitor is designed to work and talk a little about everything that it has to offer to parents of newborn and young babies.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the monitor’s size, the Oma Sense comes at a fairly compact size. Not only that, but the device is also cordless and battery powered, making it both totally safe to be worn by babies, as well as completely portable, so it can go wherever your little one goes.
It’s also worth noting that the Oma Sense is made with medical grade materials and it requires no skin contact; meaning that it is truly designed for a baby’s comfort while they wear it.
INTERFACE / BUILT-IN CONTROLS
In terms of its build, the On-button can be found on the left side of the device, while the Off-button is located on the right side. The face of the monitor features three LED icons. On the top right is the battery indicator (that flashes with either green or red colors).
On the top middle is the reassurance indicator, that flashes with a blue color every 30 seconds, to let you know the device is turned on and monitoring movement. On the top left, the alert indicator is found, and will flash with a red color whenever no motion from your baby is detected, while also triggering an alarm on the device.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
This advanced baby movement monitor works very accurately by using WakeUp Technology to constantly monitor a baby’s tummy movements, ultimately providing the relief that parents need whenever they aren’t close-by their baby’s side.
If no abdominal movements are detected for a period of 15 seconds, the Oma Sense will create gentle vibrations to help stimulate your baby and encourage the return of regular movement., while also triggering fluctuating sounds and LED lights to alarm parents and notify them that something might be wrong.
If regular movement has not been re-established 5 seconds after the first alert, an Emergency Alarm with sounds and LED lights is initiated to alert parents that attention is needed.
BATTERY-INSTALLATION & OPERATION
To install the battery, a protective “Small-Parts Warning” sticker is found above the battery cover. After removing it, you’ll find your battery cover, that can be opened with any large coin by turning it counterclockwise. The Oma Sense comes with a Panasonic CR2450 3V battery (these are also the recommended batteries).
The battery needs to be inserted with the positive side facing up. Placing the battery door above the opening and turning it clockwise with the help of any large coin will lock it back into place.
When turning on the Oma Sense monitor, it will go through a self-test that lasts just a few seconds, ensuring that all features are working. This will activate all indicator lights, vibrations and sounds. As soon as the green lights flash at the end of self-test, the Oma Sense is ready to use. A blue LED will flash continuously for approximately 30 seconds, and then flash every 30 seconds to indicate that the device is monitoring your baby’s movement.
When powering off your Oma Sense, the device will self-check its battery status. A green flash will indicate the battery is good, and a red flash indicates the battery needs to be changed before the next use. An additional battery also comes with your Levana Oma Sense.
