Thank you for purchasing a SleepSense® sensor.

Description

The SleepSense® Infant Flow sensor makes use of heat sensitive elements
to generate a signal in response to temperature changes. Due to the small
size of the wires, a good signal can even be produced by a weaker flow.

The output may be connected to any AC (low level) channel on the recorder.

Indication for Use

SleepSense® sleep-lab sensors provide a qualitative measure of sounds,
respiratory-effort, flow, body position or limb movements, for recording on an
approved data acquisition system. They are intended for use on children and
adult patients who are screened during sleep disorder studies at a sleep
laboratory or the patients home.

Applying the Sensor

 The Infant Flow sensor is placed on the

infant's bridge of the nose, with the protruding part
folded so the sensor elements are located under the
nostrils.

 To position the sensor:

Bend the sensor's body so that it fits on the bridge of the infant nose.

1.

2. Apply the sensor on the nose with the T shape sensor element towards the mouth

and the wire towards the forehead. Secure with a piece of facial tape.

3. Bend the T shape sensor element to position it just under the nostrils. Be sure that

it does not touch the nose.

4. Draw the wire over the infant's forehead and tape to enhance reliability.

5. Check that clear, strong signals are being transmitted before leaving the patient.

Cleaning the Sensor

 Wipe the sensor and cable with a non-corrosive (to plastic) cleanser before use.

 Make sure the complete sensor assembly is thoroughly dry before reusing it.

 Do not autoclave or soak the sensor in disinfectants.
