Is this kit suitable for pediatric patients, or is it exclusively for adults?
The Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Cadwell Adult Kit is specifically designed for adult patients undergoing sleep disorder studies. It is not intended for pediatric use.
What components are included in the Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Cadwell Adult Kit?
The kit includes:
- Adult thermistor with a 30” wire and keyhole connector
- Adult nasal cannula/holder
- Adult oral/nasal cannula/holder
- Replacement filter package
Is the ThermiSense Sensor Cadwell Adult Kit compatible with various Polysomnography (PSG) systems?
Yes, the Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Cadwell Adult Kit is designed for compatibility with most PSG systems. This allows for seamless integration into existing sleep study setups.
Does this sensor meet AASM guidelines?
Yes, the Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Cadwell Adult Kit is specifically designed to meet established AASM guidelines (American Academy of Sleep Medicine) for combined airflow monitoring.
This compliance confirms the kit’s capability for:
- Combined Sensing: Accurately capturing both airflow pressure and oral/nasal thermal airflow signals simultaneously.
- Event Detection: Reliably detecting key respiratory events required for comprehensive polysomnography (PSG), including apnea, hypopnea, and flow limitation.
What type of cable material is used, and how does it contribute to the product's durability?
The Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Cadwell Adult Kit utilizes rugged kevlar tinsel cables. This enhances the durability and longevity of the sensor, ensuring it can withstand regular use in a clinical setting.
Is the thermistor reusable, and how does the design minimize skin contact?
The ThermiSense sensor is designed with a reusable thermistor that mounts on a disposable cannula holder. This design aims to reduce the potential for skin contact and improve hygiene.
What specific respiratory events can this kit detect, such as apnea or hypopnea?
The Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Cadwell Adult Kit is designed to accurately detect apnea, hypopnea, and flow limitation. It helps in comprehensive monitoring during sleep studies.
Does this kit include an interface box?
No, the Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Cadwell Adult Kit does not explicitly list an interface box as an included component. The kit is designed to complement nasal pressure devices and includes an adult thermistor (30” wire with keyhole connector), adult nasal cannula/holder, adult oral/nasal cannula/holder, and a replacement filter package.
How does the patented holder design contribute to patient comfort and hygiene?
The patented holder is designed to minimize skin contact, which helps to reduce the risk of irritation and improve patient comfort during sleep studies. This design feature enhances the overall usability and hygiene of the device.
What is the optimal thermistor wire length?
The kit includes a 30-inch (0.76 m) thermistor wire that is specifically designed to allow for optimal positioning during adult sleep disorder studies. The wire terminates in a keyhole connector for system compatibility.
