Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Standard Adult Kit

Yes, the design prioritizes hygiene and efficiency in the clinical setting. The system combines:

• A reusable thermistor sensor head (the core temperature sensing component).
• Disposable adult cannula/holders (for both nasal and oral/nasal airflow capture).

By mounting the reusable sensor onto a disposable holder, the risk of cross-contamination between patients is minimized, ensuring a hygienic solution for sleep disorder studies (PSG recordings). The patented holder design also helps reduce potential skin contact.

The Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor Standard Adult Kit (#5700-0-1) provides a complete system for high-precision thermal airflow sensing in adult sleep studies, ensuring compliance with AASM guidelines.

This kit includes the following factory new components:

• ThermiSense Interface Box
• ThermiSense Sensor Adult (The reusable thermal resistive sensor)
• Adult Nasal Cannula/Holder (Disposable component)
• Adult Oral/Nasal Cannula/Holder (Disposable component)
• Replacement Filter Package

The Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor is designed to be compatible with most PSG systems. However, it’s always recommended to check compatibility with your specific PSG system to ensure optimal performance.

The Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor is engineered to provide high-fidelity temperature sensing, accurately detecting critical events in adult patients during sleep disorder studies. These events include:

• Apnea
• Hypopnea
• Flow limitation

This functionality ensures the system meets AASM guidelines for reliable diagnostic data acquisition.

Yes, the Salter Labs ThermiSense sensor is designed to be battery-free.

It utilizes thermal resistive sensor technology and does not require an internal power source. Instead, it draws the necessary power and transmits the airflow signal (1 millivolt peak to peak) directly through its connection cable to the head box of the compatible Polysomnography (PSG) recording system.

The Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor is constructed with rugged kevlar tinsel cables, which significantly enhance its durability and lifespan. This ensures reliable performance even with frequent use.

Yes, the Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor utilizes standard 1.5 mm connectors, ensuring broad compatibility with most Polysomnography (PSG) systems for thermal airflow sensing. The specific connectivity details are:

• Signal Output: Uses a 1.5 mm touch proof plug (female) to connect directly to the PSG recorder’s head box.
• Test Lead Receptacle: Utilizes a 1.5 mm plug (male).

This standardized output level (1 millivolt peak to peak) allows for seamless integration into clinical environments while meeting AASM guidelines.

The ThermiSense Sensor is engineered to perform accurately within specific environmental conditions to ensure reliable results during sleep disorder studies (PSG).

The required operating and storage conditions are:

• Operating Temperature: 5° C (40° F) to 32° C (90° F)
• Operating/Storage Humidity: 10-95% RH (non-condensing)

Yes, the Salter Labs ThermiSense sensor is engineered for high-fidelity temperature sensing and strictly adheres to industry standards for accuracy in sleep diagnostics.

• AASM Compliance: The system meets the rigorous American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) guidelines for monitoring nasal pressure and oral/nasal thermal airflow changes.
• Precise Detection: It is designed to accurately detect critical respiratory events in adult patients, including apnea, hypopnea, and flow limitation.
• Signal Output: The thermal resistive sensor technology provides a precise signal output level of 1 millivolt peak to peak to the PSG recorder head box.

Yes, the Salter Labs ThermiSense Sensor is designed to meet AASM guidelines for both nasal pressure and oral/nasal thermal airflow sensing, ensuring its clinical relevance for sleep disorder studies.
