Warning and DisclaimerSudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the sud-

den and unexplained death of an infant less than one year of

age. Even after decades of study the causes of SIDS are still

not fully understood. This product does not claim to prevent

SIDS, as there is no product that can make such a claim.

The best way to protect the sleep safety of your baby is to

create a Safe Sleep Environment. The American Academy

of Pediatrics has issued guidelines on creating a safe sleep

environment. These guidelines have been supported by the

Center for Disease Control (CDC). We have provided the top

tips for a safe sleep environment on the page 6. You can learn

more at http://www.cdc.gov/sids/.

Please note that this product is not a medical device, but

rather a home-use monitor designed to help parents care

for the sleep wellness of their babies. Babies with a known

predisposition to any breathing or health abnormality should

be monitored by a doctor. Please seek advice from doctors

or health care professional for medical diagnosis or when

unsure of any symptoms.

Finally, you should not rely on the SafeToSleep Monitor for

the wellbeing of your baby. It is not a substitute for proper

adult supervision. It is important that an adult stays within

range of the monitor at all times during use.

Safe Sleep EnvironmentGuidelines

1. Place your baby to sleep on his back for ever y sleep.

Babies up to one year of age should always be placed on their backs to sleep during naps and at night. However, if your baby has rolled from his back to his side or stomach on his own, he can be left in that position if he is already able to roll from tummy to back and back to tummy. If your baby falls asleep in a car safety seat, stroller, swing , infant carrier, or infant sling he should be moved to a f irm sleep sur face as soon as possible.

2 . Place your baby to sleep on a firm sleep surface that meets current safet y standards.

The SleepMat meets or exceeds all U. S. and Canadian consumer product safety standards. The crib, bassinet, portable crib, or play yard you use should meet current safety standards. Cover the mattress that comes with the product with a f itted sheet. Do not put blankets or pillows between the mattress and the fitted sheet. Never put your baby to sleep on a chair, sofa, water bed, cushion, or sheepskin.

3 . Keep soft objects, loose bedding, or any objects that could increase the risk of entrapment, suffocation, or strangulation out of the crib.

Pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, bumper pads, and stuffed toys can cause your baby to suffocate.

4. Place your baby to sleep in the same room where you sleep but not the same bed.

Keep the crib or bassinet within an arm’s reach of your bed. You can easily watch or breastfeed your baby by having your baby nearby. Babies who sleep in the same bed as their parents are at risk of suffocation or strangulation. Parents can

roll onto babies during sleep or babies can get tangled in the sheets or blankets.

1. Do not let your baby get too hot.

Keep the room where your baby sleeps at a comfortable temperature. In general, dress your baby in no more than one extra layer than you would wear. Your baby may be too hot if she is sweating or if her chest feels hot. If you are worried that your baby is cold, infant sleep clothing designed to keep babies warm without the risk of covering their heads can be used.

2 . Offer a pacifier at nap time and bedtime.

It ’s OK if your baby doesn’t want to use a pacifier. You can tr y offering a pacifier again, but some babies don’t like to use pacifiers. If your baby takes the pacifier and it falls out after he falls asleep, you don’t have to put it back in.

The information contained herein should not be used as a substitute for the medical care and advice of your pediatrician. There may be variations in treatment that your pediatrician may recommend based on individual facts and circumstances.

Placing Your Baby on SleepMat


Care, Maintenance and Use Use of SleepMat

— Do not add thick and heav y items such as mattress between your baby and the SleepMat as it may affect the sensitivity. Light clothing , swaddle blankets, the provided SleepMat covers are OK to use.

— Avoid major movement activity around the mat as it is highly sensitive and may pick up the movement signal as part of the movement signal of the baby. Patting action, high vibration or motor-running activities will affect the accuracy of the breath rate.

— The SleepMat is designed to support a weight range between 4.4 lbs. – 26.4 lbs.

— Use the SleepMat for sleeping purposes only. The SleepMat should not be used as a play mat.

— Any form of spillage or stain should be wiped off immediately with water on a damp cloth to prevent permanent stain on the mat. Avoid using strong detergent. Gentle wipe is sufficient to clean up stains. Excessive scrubbing action may damage the water-resistance property of the mat.

— The operating temperature range for the SleepMat is from 400F - 1100F. Do not operate the SleepMat beyond this range as it may not function according to defined specifications.
