Getting to Know

Buttons and Functions

Installing the Battery

• Open the battery door
• Remove the battery insulator strip
• Place the battery back in the device
• Close the battery door

TIP: The length of your battery will vary based on how often you use Oma Sense™. A red light will show on the front of the device when a battery change is required.

Before Using

Before putting your Oma Sense™ device on your child, complete a self-test each time to ensure your device is functioning. To do this;

• Turn on your Oma Sense™ and put the device on a stationary flat surface facing up.
• Wait 15 seconds. The device will be triggered and the LED light will flash red, the buzzer will continuously beep and the device will vibrate.
  • If this occurs, the test is successful. Turn off the device and back on before placing Oma Sense™ on your child.
  • If this does not occur, the test is unsuccessful. Please change the battery and repeat the self test. If you continue to experience issues, contact Levana for further assistance.

Using Oma Sense™

1. Do not insert anything or allow liquid to enter the speaker hole.
2. Oma Sense™ is splash resistant, not waterproof. Do not submerge in water. If device gets wet, dry immediately before using.
3. Wipe with a damp cloth or baby wipe to clean.

Proper Placement

Oma Sense™ should be placed above the naval area where maximum abdominal movement can be detected.
IMPORTANT: Oma Sense™ is not designed for use with a swaddle.

Correct Sleeping Positions

IMPORTANT: Only use Oma Sense™️ when baby is in a motionless bed/cot. Do not use in a car seat, stroller, swing or other mobile carrier. The monitor will sense the motion of the carrier and will not properly monitor the baby’s abdominal movements.

How Oma Sense™ Works

• Reassurance LED
  Oma Sense™️ flashes a blue light every 30 seconds letting you know movement is being detected.

• 1st Alert
  If no movement is detected for 15 seconds, randomized vibrations and audible alerts are initiated to stimulate baby.

• 2nd Alert
  If regular movement is not re-established 5 seconds after the 1st Alert, an emergency alarm, LED lights, and audible alerts are initiated to notify parents attention is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I use Oma Sense™ while my baby is in a swing or car seat?
Oma Sense™️ is designed to detect your baby’s abdominal movements without requiring direct contact with your little one’s skin. With our patented WakeUp™️ Technology, Oma Sense™️ uses multiple sensors to analyze your baby’s abdominal movements every 80 milliseconds. Additonal movement from a swing, car seat or similar setting will affect the device’s ability to properly detect if your baby’s abdominal movements have stopped.
Why is Oma Sense™ not recommended for babies over 6 months old?
Once your little one begins rolling onto their belly or fiddling with the monitor, we recommend discontinuing use. This usually occurs around the 6 month age. When your baby is sleeping on their tummy, belly movements are reduced and it becomes difficult for Oma Sense™️ to detect abdominal movement. As a result, it may falsely alert you that something is wrong.
Do I need to charge my Oma Sense™ Battery?
No! Oma Sense™ includes a Panasonic® 3V CR2450 coin cell battery that will last up to 30 days based on normal usage. We recommend always keeping a spare battery handy for when Oma Sense™️ let’s you know with a solid red light when the battery needs to be replaced.
Can I connect Oma Sense™ to my phone or Levana Video Baby Monitor?
Oma Sense™️ is a standalone abdominal movement monitor with zero Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals, and therefore does not require connection to a smartphone or separate Video Baby Monitor to monitor your child. We recommend using the Oma Sense™️ in tandem with a Video Baby Monitor to amplify the volume of the alarm if it were to sound while you are in a different room.
