Position Sensors

Thank you for purchasing the SleepSense® body position sensor.

Description

Using a gravity switch, the body position sensor provides a signal that is
directly proportional to the patients sleeping posture (supine, prone, left,
right or sitting). The sensor may be connected to any AC (low level) channel
on the recorder.

Indication for Use

SleepSense® sleep-lab sensors provide a qualitative measure of respiratory
sounds, effort, flow, body position, or movement, 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.

Warnings and Precautions

®

• Sleepsense

• Caution: US Federal Law restricts this device to sale, distribution and use

by or on the order of a physician.

• SleepSense® sensors may be used only in conjunction with an approved

recording system.

• Discontinue use if sensor shows signs of wear, damage, or exposed metal.

sensors are for professional use only.

Applying the Sensor

The patient should lie on his/her back for
optimal positioning of the sensor.

Positioning the Sensor

1. Place the sensor belt around the patient’s chest over the night clothes and on top of
the effort sensor belt. Make sure the sensors do not touch the skin.
Locate the position sensor at the exact center of the body over the sternum.

2. Gently tighten the body position belt to secure the sensor in place. A loose belt may
rotate and produce error in indication during the night.

• Tape the cable about five inches away from the sensor to reduce strain and
enhance reliability.

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