Sigloo birth alarm

The sigloo birthalarm is an reliable and user-friendly system. It consists of 2 main components: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is sewn into the vulva of the mare and the receiver must be placed in the stable. 
The transmitter detects when the mare starts giving birth (when the vulva opens) and alerts the owner, trough the reciever, by phone. 

 

The Reciever

The reciever can call up to 4 phonenumbers. This is possible trough a SIM-card that is inserted in the reciever. 
When the foaling starts, the transmiter sends a radio signal to the reciever. Then the reciever alerts the phonenumbers one by one. If the first person who's called can't answer , the reciever automaticly calls the second phonenumber, ... . The person who's able to go check on the foaling is also able to cancel the phonecalls to the other numbers. 

The reciever runs mainly on electricity, but within a poweroutage, it can continue to operate on it's battery for 48 hours. The reciever can be used with multiple transmitters. When one of the transmitters sends a signal , the reciever will indicate the number of the transmitter on it's display. That makes it easier when there a multiple mares due in the same period. 

 

The transmitter 

The transmitter has to be sewed in by an veterinarian, around 8 to 10 days before foaling. It has to be sewed in with sterile needle and tread. 

The transmitters consist of a small red plastic box and a magnet placed into the box. When the foaling starts and the vulva opens, the magnet is pulled out of the transmitter. This causes a signal to the reciever that starts calling the phonenumbers. The alarm stops when the magnet is placed back in the transmitter. 

The advantage to the transmitters is that they can be used multiple times. They are even rechargeable should the battery run out. It's imported to maintain the  transmitters properly. Cleaning with water after use is recommended.
