Dear Owlet Family, As the CEO and co-founder of Owlet, I am happy to share the biggest milestone in Owlet’s history and one that sets a new standard for infant care at home. Today, Owlet announced FDA Clearance of Dream Sock, the first and only over-the-counter medical pulse-oximetry device for infants. For the first time ever, Owlet’s clinically-validated technology and notification algorithms are available for use with healthy babies without a prescription. This is the culmination of years of clinical research and rigorous testing and I could not be more proud to share this news with you. Here’s what this means for babies and caregivers: - This new FDA clearance will allow Dream Sock users to track their infant’s Live Health Readings, including pulse rate and oxygen saturation level.
- The clearance includes Owlet’s new Health Notifications, which will alert parents with lights and alarm sounds if their baby’s health readings fall outside of preset ranges.
- Achieving De Novo clearance means the Owlet Dream Sock was clinically-tested in both home and hospital environments, and proven to be as accurate as medical-grade baby monitoring technology.
- Intended for use with healthy infants between 1-18 months and 6-30 lbs.
- These new FDA-cleared features will begin rolling out to both existing and new Dream Sock users by the end of this year.
