BO’s Act

Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Bill 119 HR 2168, also known as the Home Cardiorespiratory Monitor Study Act, aims to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a study on the use of home cardiorespiratory monitors for infants. The bill requires the Secretary to submit a report to Congress detailing the effectiveness and safety of these monitors, as well as any potential benefits or drawbacks associated with their use.

The study will focus on how home cardiorespiratory monitors can help monitor the health and well-being of infants, particularly those at risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or other respiratory issues. The report will also examine the cost-effectiveness of these monitors and whether they provide accurate and reliable data for parents and healthcare providers.

In addition to studying the use of home cardiorespiratory monitors, the bill also aims to explore any potential regulations or guidelines that may be necessary to ensure the proper use and effectiveness of these devices. This includes looking at any existing standards or recommendations for the use of home monitors and determining if any additional measures need to be put in place to protect infants and their families. Overall, the Home Cardiorespiratory Monitor Study Act seeks to provide Congress with valuable information on the use of these monitors for infants, helping to inform future decisions and policies related to infant health and safety.
