ABSTRACT:
An apnea detection device with a remote monitor comprising a transmitter housing having a first portion and a second portion. The second portion has an unbiased contracted orientation with the second portion proximally situated with respect to the first portion. The second portion also has a biased extended orientation with the second portion distally situated with respect to the first portion. Also included is a strap for allowing the securement of the housing to a chest of an infant thus allowing the housing to be repeatedly biased coincidently with the breathing of the infant. A detection mechanism is included with the transmitter housing for monitoring biasing of the second portion associated with the respiration of the infant. Further included is a transmitter unit situated within the interior space of the first portion of the housing and connected to a small battery and the detection mechanism. The transmitter unit is adapted to transmit an activation signal upon the detection via the detection mechanism of an anomaly in the respiration of the infant. Finally, a receiver includes an alarm adapted to emit an audible signal upon the actuation thereof and a receiver unit adapted to actuate the alarm upon the receipt of the activation signal via the transmitter unit.
