With increasing postnatal age, there is a tendency for increased oxygen saturation during the awake states to 93% to 94%, while oxygen saturation during sleep stays the same or even decreases slightly.

Sock fit/placement issues are the most common cause of false notifications. Even in the hospital, the #1 cause of incorrect readings is poor sensor placement.

Can the Owlet detect seizures?

The device is designed to be used by children from birth up to 18mths of age (or until they weigh around 11kg). As the device monitors heart rate, it may be able to detect seizures as there is often an elevation of heart rate during an event.

What can happen if baby's oxygen is too low?

If a baby's oxygen levels are too low, it can lead to a condition called hypoxia. Hypoxia is a condition in which the body tissues and organs are not getting enough oxygen. Hypoxia can cause a variety of problems, including organ damage, brain damage, and death.

How accurate is Owlet blood oxygen?

Can Owlet Burn baby Foot?

A very small percentage of Owlet users may experience skin redness or irritation. Our research, in partnership with dermatologists and pediatricians, shows that these marks are not thermal burns. In fact, our Dream Sock devices have built-in temperature sensors to ensure the device stays at a very safe temperature.

Babies are obligate nose breathers, meaning they have a physiological necessity to breathe through the nose as opposed to breathing through the mouth until they are closer to 3-4 months old. This can mean that even slight nasal congestion can really affect their breathing and oxygen levels.

Is SIDS lack of oxygen?

One reason for decreased oxygen to a fetus is cigarette smoking. SIDS may be linked to: Lack of oxygen. Too much carbon dioxide intake.

Can a stuffy nose cause low oxygen levels?

In our study, patients with nasal obstruction had mild hypoxemia and decreased oxygen saturation. Oxygenation was significantly impaired further with nasal packing (PaO2 slightly decreased while oxygen saturation is significantly decreased during packing).

What are the 4 signs that an infant is choking?

Do pediatricians recommend Owlet?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends against parents using any baby oxygen monitor, since research has shown that even the best hospital-grade devices cannot protect against sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
