What is Ritmo™?
Ritmo™ is the best product on the market for delivering safe sound to a baby in-utero, and provides an unparalleled bonding experience for both parent and child.
It is the ONLY modular surround sound system to deliver all types of audio ranging from your favorite song to a recording of the family dog barking.
It can even transmit someone talking on an iPhone or Blackberry.
How do I set it up?
A complete and detailed instruction booklet provides a step by step guide on how to assemble and disassemble the components: a Controller, four speakers a soft fabric belt, and an Extender belt.
What’s special about Ritmo™? Why is Ritmo™ Pregnancy superior to the competition?
Ritmo was created for the express purpose of delivering sound safely in-utero, due to the unique acoustic environment of the womb.
Not only does it comply with the stringent safety standards of the CE & FCC, but Ritmo’s patented Safe & Sound Technology works through a pre-set controller to regulate the output of sound to a level safe for a baby in-utero, regardless of how loud the sound was recorded or the volume that it is played.
Ritmo is also the only product on the market designed with both mother and baby in mind. When the family isn’t taking turns using Ritmo to bond with baby, the mom-to-be will love how easily Ritmo fits into her active lifestyle. Whether practicing yoga, walking the dog, working or simply relaxing, Ritmo's soft state-of-the-art fabric belt is lightweight, elasticized, supportive, washable and irritation-free.
Can you tell me what a customer has said about Ritmo™?
One of Ritmo’s many happy customers, Tara Meussling, says, "My Ritmo is so comfortable I wear it when I'm cleaning house, watching tv, or even reading a book,” “I am a big fan of the Temptations so I play them on my Ritmo so my baby can enjoy it too. When he starts moving, I know it's working!”
When can I start using Ritmo™ Pregnancy?
Babies can benefit from stimulation as early as the third month of pregnancy. It has been shown that unborn babies can hear clearly at about 17 weeks of pregnancy.
What are some benefits of prenatal music and sounds?
Playing music to your baby in-utero provides relaxation and stress reduction for both mother and fetus.
Listening together, you and your baby can bond through music.
Numerous studies conclude that babies exposed to prenatal music stimuli exhibit superior gross and fine motor activities, improved linguistic development, positive influence on some aspects of body-sensory coordination and certain cognitive behavior.
Studies also show that babies remember and associate sounds heard during pregnancy for up to a year after birth.
Experts in the fields of acoustics and bio-medicine developed Ritmo’s technology, which was based on hundreds of third party research papers and studies.
Why bother with all these devices? Isn't it enough that children learn after they are out of the womb?
We aim to provide opportunities with our products. Ritmo™ provides parents/siblings/grandparents with the “opportunity” to bond with babies through music, sounds and voices in a way that was never available before.
What music or sound should I play for my baby?
Music selection is a matter of personal preference. Significant research has shown that stimuli such as soft and melodious sounds, and the sound of the human voice (especially the mother's), are extremely pleasurable for the baby.
Lullabies sung by the father, stories read by grandparents, in any language... whatever sounds you choose to play for your baby, recorded on an MP3 or similar device, are ideal for the Ritmo™.
What type of music player can be used with Ritmo™ Pregnancy?
Any consumer MP3/4 player on the market such as the iPod, iPhone, or Blackberry is suitable. The Ritmo™ Pregnancy advanced sound system has specially designed side pockets to fully secure your media player and provide hands-free experience.
Can my Ritmo™ Pregnancy Audio Belt be washed?
Definitely! In fact, it can be washed up to 5,000 times. Don’t forget to first remove the audio system component, as explained in the User Guide, and follow the laundry instructions.
How long does the Ritmo™ battery charge last?
A fully charged battery will last approximately 14 hours in the Prenatal setting and 5 hours in the Postnatal setting. Prior to initial use, switch off the Controller, and charge the RitmoTM Audio Controller for 12-14 hours.
Upon initial use, fully discharge the battery before recharging. Following both of these steps will ensure maximum battery capability.
Can the battery be replaced?
Yes, however, battery replacement should only be performed by an authorized professional.
What made Nuvo interested in Prenatal Stimulation?
Oren, our CEO and Founder, saw his wife struggling with the common solution to play in-utero music to their first born: headphones on the belly. As an engineer, he recognized the need and opportunity for a product which was designed for both mothers and babies to deliver sound, and came up with the concept of Ritmo™. |
