Patent ID: 11804151

Abstract:
An interactive infant simulation device used to demonstrate the proper sleep position of an infant. The infant simulation device can include an infant body portion and a transparent upper respiratory passageway at least partially contained within the infant body portion. The infant body portion can include one or two parts, and the two parts can be removeably coupled to one another. The infant simulation device can be moved from a first position to a second position, and a colored fluid contained within the upper respiratory passageway can be viewed moving between passages representing the trachea, esophagus, and pharynx of an infant. In one case (e.g., a stomach-down orientation), the fluid may be present in the tracheal passage, demonstrating the improper sleep position of an infant. In another case (e.g., a back-down orientation), the tracheal passage may be substantially free from fluid, demonstrating the proper sleep position of an infant.
