ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apnea detection device with a remote monitoring capability. It includes a transmitter housing having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion has a structure with a bottom planar extension which has a stop coupled thereto and extended upwardly therefrom. The second portion of the housing is adapted to be slidably inserted within the interior space of the first portion. There is also a stiff two piece strap with ends connected to the first portion of the housing and second portion of the housing and a fastener, whereby the strap allows securement to a chest of an infant. There is a conductive strip and a plurality of linearly aligned contacts whereby a decreasing amount of contacts are connected via the conductive strip upon the sliding of the second portion of the housing from an unbiased orientation to a biased orientation. Upon detection by the comparator of the strip connecting an amount of contacts less than a predetermined amount a transmitter sends a signal to a remote receiver which emits an alarm.
