Guidelines for use

  • Snuza’s sensor tip must always be in contact with the baby in the tummy area.
  • If this contact is lost, Snuza will sound an alarm.
  • To prevent unnecessary false alarms caused by Snuza not touching the baby, please:-
    • Use the correct size diaper. Diapers that are too big loosen around the waistband, causing Snuza to lose contact.
    • Fold the waistband or top edge of the diaper over to create a double-fold, giving Snuza a firm grip on the diaper.
    • Adjust the adhesive tapes so that there is a snug fit around the tummy.
    • Make sure that Snuza is firmly and fully clipped onto the folded waistband.
    • Make sure that the sensor is in direct contact with the baby.
    • Press the ON switch.

Clothing

  • Snuza can also be clipped onto the waistband of elasticated pants, as long as the sensor maintains contact with the baby in the tummy area.
  • There may also be a thin layer of clothing (eg a vest) between the Sensor and the skin, but ensure that the sensor maintains contact.
  • The monitor can also be used if baby is dressed in light clothing (for example, a Babygro) over the nappy or pants to which the Snuza is attached.
  • Too much clothing may attenuate or muffle the alarm. Make sure the alarm can be heard if baby is covered in clothing and/or blankets.

     

If you follow these guidelines properly, you can be sure that baby’s every movement is being monitored.
