The sensor itself is less than 1mm thick and senses variable force allowing the sensitivity of the unit to be adjusted to the weight of the child. The transmitter is very low power, operating for approximately 100 patient tests before the battery needs to be replaced.

The Bloorview MacMillan Children's Center and Intectus Have Partnered.

January 20, 2005 - The Bloorview MacMillan Children's Center and Intectus have partnered to further develop products and technology to help kids with disabilities.

With the help of Intectus the Children's Center hopes to make more of their devices available to more kids in need.

A joint development proposal has been submitted for product funding on a specific project to detect and prevent aspiration. Other smaller products will be developed without the need for external funding.
