  • Coordinator assesses that SNUZA will be easier/more appropriate for family to use than other monitors that are available e.g. toddlers around, concerns about safety, sensors being pulled or getting tangled.
  • Monitor is needed urgently due to late referral, baby is already born, no other monitors available.
  • Family expressed preference for a SNUZA Hero MD, after coordinator has explained local monitor options (if appropriate).
  • Baby is over 6 months old and a mattress monitor is not available.

CONI co-ordinator’s responsibility

  • It is the coordinator’s responsibility to check the monitor has arrived with the family and to notify the CONI team ([email protected]) if it hasn’t arrived.
  • Need to discuss limitations of monitors.
  • Need to discuss what to do if the alarm goes off, this includes a plan and basic life support instruction/helping your baby until help arrives.
  • Need parent/s verbal consent to send name, address and telephone number to The Lullaby Trust – this will not be used for any other reason.

 What the family needs to know

  • Explain to the family that it is a gift from the distributors (not the Health Visiting service or The Lullaby Trust).
  • Each monitor is given on the understanding that it is for single use for their baby only; named baby basis.
  • Family are responsible for the monitor and can keep it i.e. do not return it to The Lullaby Trust or co-ordinator/HV.
  • Monitor will be sent directly to their home (we need their home address, but it will not be used for anything else).
  • Delivery takes approximately 5 working days from request. Unfortunately, it does not fit through a standard letter box so instructions about a safe place to leave it, if not at home, is required.
  • If the monitor is lost/broken they may be lent another sort of monitor locally but the offer of a SNUZA Hero MD is not usually repeated.
  • Any complaints or problems with the monitor should be reported to www.snuza.com and then their co-ordinator.
  • An additional Lullaby Trust/CONI appropriate information leaflet is contained within the monitor box.
  • Ask parent/s if they will be willing to give feedback to The Lullaby Trust (either telephone interview or online) when they are nominated for a monitor.
