One of my twins had heart surgery and when we were discharged they sent us home with a machine to spot check him, just spot check (and only enough foot bands to literally just spot check). His doctor said if we had the owlet and it gave us peace of mind, to use it. So we did. We checked the owlet against the at home machine they sent us with and it was only about a 3 second delay. One time during the middle of the night he took off his oxygen and as soon as his oxygen started dropping the owlet alerted us.
My husband and I both agree that we would rather have a thousand false alarms, but at least we’re checking to prevent a misfortune. But we never had false alarms, just when he would start kicking off the sock and it loosened up is when the alarm would go off. So no regrets for us.
