Abstract
The present invention relates to an infant supervision device featuring an umbilical cord clamp having a hinge, jaws and a locking mechanism. The present invention also contains a wire or a strip of conducting material that runs through the jaws and the hinge and that forms a current carrying circuit as soon as terminals within the locking mechanism are linked, which occurs when the clamp is closed. The clamp has a first end with a hinge and a second end having a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism contains a sensor, which may be an active or passive transmitter, a receiver or a magnet. The sensor is capable of communicating with an external detection device, and alert child care monitors in an event that the clamp is broken or cut, or if an infant wearing the present invention is carried beyond the secure perimeter covered by the external detection device. The clamp may also be able to send out positioning and health related information to the external detection device by using micro waves, radio waive, ultra-sound waives or by communicating with a wireless network.
