<p>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.</p> |
