Your Baby Control Digital Team
Introducon
Why is it important that parents use the breathing monitor?
During their rst year of life, infants are at risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) which is described as
a sudden and unexpected death of an otherwise healthy child.
Children under one year of age have irregular breathing paerns, and may even stop breathing.
The breathing monitor is the only device that is able to connuously monitor the characterisc breathing
movements of your baby whilst he is lying in a cot, crib or pram, and can provide an early warning of a
potenally dangerous situaon. It may then prevent sudden infant death syndrome from occurring. If the
parent detects the suspension of breathing (apnea) in me and is able to respond appropriately and restore
breathing, the baby is likely to be saved.
Using the breathing monitor is the most ecient way of prevenng SIDS. The Baby Control Digital breathing
monitor can save a life, but it is not a life-saving device.
Descripon of funcons of the Baby Control Digital
breathing monitor (BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
1. The Baby Control Digital connuously monitors the breathing of a baby sleeping in his cot, crib or pram etc.
2. The sensor pad is placed directly on to the base of the cot under the maress and senses the baby’s breathing movements.
Informaon is then passed to the control unit to evaluate the measured values.
3. The Baby Control Digital breathing monitor connuously detects breathing movements, if it is unable to detect breathing
for twelve seconds it triggers an audible alarm. The detecon sensivity threshold can be adjusted (see “Adjusng the
detecon sensivity threshold”)
4. The Baby Control Digital is not able to intervene when it is unable to detect breathing movements but it is designed to
alert you to a possible serious situaon. Only a person who has undergone a dedicated training course is able to give
arcial respiraon and perform resuscitaon. Please ask your doctor for advice.
IMPORTANT: Please regularly check the funconality of your Baby Control Digital breathing monitor.
Please contact your distributor if your device does not appear to be funconing properly.

Features of the Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
1. Detecon is accomplished through the maress
The Baby Control Digital breathing monitor has no direct contact with your baby. Its use does not interfere with normal
daily life of the family and their baby. It is discreet and easy to use.
2. Uniquely large monitored area
The size of one sensor pad is 300 x 500 mm. Depending on the model, the Baby Control Digital breathing monitors have
either one, two, three or four (twin type) sensor pads. The device with three sensor pads is able to monitor the enre
surface of most baby cots. Concerns that your baby may move outside the monitored areas can be reduced by using
addional sensor pads.
3. Variable placing of sensor pads
You may place the sensor pad in the baby’s temporary bed as well; just take the control unit with it.
4. Lateral sensivity
Even if the baby is not lying directly over the sensor pad, the device is able to detect breathing movements coming from
the side, so do not be concerned about insucient monitoring.
5. It can be used with all maress and cot frame types
The sensor pad of the Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is placed directly on the base of the bed and can be safely
used with any standard maress no maer how thick it is or what material it is made from.
6. Digitally adjustable detecon threshold level
With only a few clicks of a buon, it is possible to adjust the detecon level threshold of the baby’s breathing movements,
to best suit the environment that the baby’s cot is in.
7. Digital representaon of the breathing movement intensity
You can watch the intensity of your baby’s breathing movements on a scale from 0 to 9 on the illuminated display that is
also clearly visible in the dark Thus it is possible to check with just one look, whether the Baby Control Digital breathing
monitor is appropriately adjusted for your baby’s breathing.
8. The Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is able to play back events of the last nine minutes in one-minute steps
The Baby Control Digital breathing monitor will play back the recorded events from its digital memory, which may provide
important informaon on the details of any breathing suspension.
9. Double (safety) Alarm
The Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is equipped with a safety double alarm.
10. Baery voltage monitoring
If the baery voltage is low, the device will signal that the baery needs replacing when it is switched on.
11. Two-years warranty
There is a full two year warranty on this product. However, the warranty is invalidated if the monitor has been used or
treated inappropriately.
