CA 2207322

A breathing monitor (20) for detecting SIDS in infants caused by apnea or the like includes an enclosure (22) which is applied to a baby's torso with a strap (26). The enclosure is supported by and isolated from the baby's torso in its entirety by a fluid filled bladder coupler (24) such that there is no direct contact between the enclosure and the baby's torso. A detector including a piezoelectric element (61) is connected to the opposite side of the fluid coupler and a battery powered electronic circuit contained within the enclosure flashes an LED (50) as the baby breathes and sounds an alarm (54) should the baby fail to exhale for a predetermined time period. An adjustable strap connector (28) for the strap provides visual indication of the strap being correctly applied and a limited range of permissible motion between the strap and enclosure as the baby breathes.

L'invention concerne un moniteur de respiration (20) permettant de détecter chez un nouveau-né le syndrome de la mort subite provoquée par l'apnée ou autre, et comportant un boîtier (22) appliqué sur le torse d'un bébé à l'aide d'une sangle. Ce boîtier est supporté par le torse du bébé dont il est isolé en totalité par un dispositif d'accouplement à vessie remplie de fluide (24) supprimant ainsi tout contact direct entre le boîtier et le torse du bébé. Un détecteur renfermant un élément piézoélectrique (61) est connecté au côté opposé du dispositif d'accouplement, et un circuit électronique à piles contenu au sein du boîtier fait clignoter une LED (50) lorsque le bébé respire, et fait retentir une alarme (54) au cas où le bébé n'expire pas pendant un intervalle prédéterminé. Un élément de raccordement réglable (28) destiné à la sangle donne une indication visuelle de l'application correcte de la sangle et de l'ampleur limitée des mouvements admissibles entre la sangle et le boîtier lorsque le bébé respire.
