“It’s a portable monitor that monitors abdominal movement of infants.   It’s a small device that you clip on the baby’s diaper and it will detect their abdominal movement.  It detects the movement and if no movements are detected after fifteen seconds vibration stimulus will occur and five seconds later a full alarm will sound.”
