As a parent, ensuring the safety and well-being of your little one is always a top priority. For many parents, sleepless nights and constant worry about their baby's health characterize their first weeks and months as parents.
What sets the Snuza Hero MD apart?
It’s many things, but foremost is, its medical certification. This distinction means that HeroMD has undergone rigorous testing and clinical evaluations to meet the highest efficacy, reliability, and safety standards. The Snuza HeroMD carries the CE1639 mark — not all devices claiming to be baby breathing monitors achieve this prestigious certification, but the HeroMD has proven its worth through stringent medical testing. Additionally, the Snuza is in partnership with the Lullaby Trust, a UK organization dedicated to raising awareness and preventing SIDS
Snuza HeroMD
Was designed to continuously monitor your baby's breathing while they sleep. It's the first certified baby breathing monitor in Europe and has been clinically proven to detect when a baby stops breathing. If your baby's breathing stops, the HeroMD will gently vibrate to rouse your baby after 15 seconds. If this does not work and breathing does not start after a further 5 seconds, the Hero will alarm so that you can act and respond quickly. Knowing when your baby stops breathing increases the probability of resuscitation, which may be a lifesaver!
Continuous breathing monitoring
The Snuza HeroMD continuously monitors your baby's abdominal movements, including breathing patterns. The device detects even the slightest breathing by gently clipping onto your baby's diaper near the tummy, offering real-time insights into their well-being.
Vibration alert
If the Snuza HeroMD senses no breathing for 15 seconds, it activates a gentle vibration to stimulate the baby and encourage them to resume breathing. This non-invasive feature aims to reduce the risk of potential incidents during sleep or rest.
Audible alarm
The Snuza HeroMD will activate an audible alarm to alert the baby’s caregiver if the vibration doesn't prompt breathing. This alarm ensures that you are immediately aware of potential issues, allowing you to respond promptly and take appropriate action.
**WHAT IS THE SNUZA HEROMD NOT FOR?**
While the Snuza HeroMD is an exceptional baby breathing monitor with medical certification, it's essential to be clear about what it does not do. Understanding the device's limitations ensures that parents and caregivers have realistic expectations and use it responsibly. Here are some key points regarding what the Snuza HeroMD does not do:
Not a substitute for medical care
The Snuza HeroMD should not be considered a replacement for professional medical care or supervision. While it provides valuable insights into a baby's abdominal movements and breathing patterns, it does not diagnose or treat any medical conditions.
Does not monitor heart rate or oxygen levels
The Snuza HeroMD specifically focuses on monitoring abdominal movements to detect breathing patterns. It does not monitor heart rate or oxygen levels, which are features found in some medical-grade hospital devices. Parents should consult healthcare professionals for comprehensive medical monitoring and consider specialised medical equipment if required.
Not effective if not properly positioned
Properly placing the Snuza HeroMD on the baby's diaper on the tummy is crucial for accurate monitoring. If the device is not appropriately positioned or secured, it may not function optimally or produce false readings. Caregivers should follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure proper usage.
