Currently we are evaluating a cheap dedicated neonate monitor that Parker Healthcare are distributing that has an inbuilt solution.
It has a small bean shaped vibrator that is velcro'ed under the baby's foot. If the monitor senses apnoea it alarms and this probe vibrates to try and startle the baby back into breathing. We are about to trial it but the concept sounds good in theory.

What are those of you with nurseries and paeds wards intending to use as a replacement for the MR10 in the future?
