ABSTRACT:
A device to help a caregiver monitor an infant to discover the onset of a Sudden Infant Death Syndrome event and to intervene to prevent the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome event. A foot and ankle wrap containing rechargeable batteries and a radio transmitter is connected to a toe cap containing a pulse oximeter by adjustable cords. Blood oxygen and pulse readouts from the pulse oximeter are transmitted to a monitor kept by the caregiver. Visible readouts of the blood oxygen and pulse are shown on the monitor for continuous view by the caregiver. The monitor sounds an alarm if the infant's blood oxygen drops to a dangerous level for predetermined period. The time delay prevents false alarms, therefore, provides a greater degree of alertness to the caregiver using the device. When not in use the device is recharged on a stand.
