Ambu RIPmate Kit w/ Disposable Bands - A5

The Ambu RIPmate Kit w/ Disposable Bands - A5 is designed for collecting data on thoracic and abdominal respiratory effort during sleep disorder studies.

The Ambu RIPmate Kit includes two RIP locks and one roll of disposable bands.

Yes, the Ambu RIPmate Kit is specifically designed for enhanced patient comfort during sleep disorder studies (Polysomnography).

Key design elements that ensure a comfortable experience include:

• Soft, Flexible Materials: The disposable bands are constructed from soft, flexible materials that conform easily to the patient’s body.
• Ergonomic Buckles: The buckles are fully encapsulated with rounded corners and flat profiles, ensuring they lie smoothly against the skin throughout the night, minimizing irritation.
• Precise, Custom Fit: The disposable belting system is cut to the exact length required, providing a perfect, secure fit instantly without the need for constant adjustment or worrying about lost tension.

Yes, the disposable design is engineered to maintain high signal accuracy, comparable to reusable RIPmate belts. This is achieved through the system’s focus on precision fit and hygiene:

• Prevents Signal Loss: The disposable belting system is cut to the exact required length, guaranteeing a perfect fit that grips tightly and prevents slippage or loss of tension.
• Enhanced Data Integrity: This secure fit eliminates signal degradation, ensuring reliable and accurate data collection for both thoracic and abdominal respiratory effort during sleep studies.
• Hygiene: The single-use nature also ensures consistent signal performance without the variables introduced by cleaning or repeated use.

Yes, the disposable design of the Ambu RIPmate Kit is specifically engineered to deliver signal quality that is comparable to standard reusable RIPmate belts.

This single-use system ensures high data accuracy during sleep disorder studies by providing:

• Enhanced Reliability: The bands prevent signal loss and false paradoxical signals often caused by belt slippage or incorrect tension, which can occur with reusable systems.
• Precision Fit: Since the belting material is cut to the exact required length, it guarantees a perfect, secure fit instantly, eliminating the need for adjustments and ensuring consistent data capture of respiratory effort.

The lead wire consists of two conductors and is approximately 205 cm in length.

The kit includes 1.5 mm safety pins as terminators. Custom terminators are also available.

The disposable bands are 1 inch wide.

Yes, the Ambu RIPmate Kit is specifically engineered for patient safety and superior hygiene through its disposable design.

Key features that guarantee a hygienic monitoring experience include:

• Single-Use Bands: The kit utilizes soft, flexible bands that are strictly intended for one-time use. This crucial feature completely eliminates the need for cleaning, reprocessing, and sterilization of components between patients.
• Minimized Cross-Contamination: By ensuring new, single-use bands are applied for every study, the risk of cross-contamination is significantly reduced, providing a safe and reliable solution for sleep disorder studies.
• Consistent Performance: The disposable nature also ensures the perfect fit is maintained, preventing signal loss that can occur with slipping or lost tension often associated with reusable belts.

Yes, the Ambu RIPmate Kit is designed for precise measurement of inductance changes as the belt expands and contracts with breathing. This allows it to accurately collect data for thoracic and abdominal respiratory effort during sleep studies.
