Description

The SleepSense Adult Inductive Plethysmography Belt is sold in a pack of two and is made of a high-quality, soft, and flexible material providing superior comfort to the patient. Velcro tabs allow you to conform any belt specifically to your patient's size. These belts have the ability to stretch up to 1.5x their initial size. The generous width of the belt minimizes the sliding and shifting that occurs during the night.

NOTE: SleepSense items are for professional use only, and are for sale by or on the order of a physician only.

Warranty: 60 Days - Free of Defects in Materials and Quality Workmanship.

SleepSense Inductive Belts are semi-reusable, and should last for around 70 uses, however some labs have reported much longer usage. Due to the durable semi-reusable design, these belts have a low per-use cost.

The inductance of the inductive belt is exactly proportional to the cross section area of the band's closed loop around the body, and therefore changes as the patient breathes. The electronics in the system or interface box measure these inductive changes to generate a signal that is the most accurate and reliable replication of respiration waveforms.

Inductive belts easily connect to any system compatible with inductive effort sensors through a dedicated SleepSense interface cable.

Frequently asked questions

How durable are the semi-reusable belts?

The SleepSense Adult Inductive Plethysmography Belts are designed to be semi-reusable for clinical environments. They offer excellent durability with an estimated lifespan of approximately 70 uses per belt. This longevity results in a significantly low per-use cost compared to single-use alternatives, providing great value for professional monitoring setups.

What sizes ensure a comfortable, secure fit?

The SleepSense Adult Inductive Plethysmography Belts are available in multiple sizes to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit for various adult patients. They are designed with key features to enhance stability and compliance during monitoring.

Available Sizing Options:

  • Large (L): 90 cm
  • Extra Large (XL): 120 cm
  • Extra Extra Large (XXL): 150 cm

Key Fit and Comfort Details:

  • Superior Patient Comfort: The belts are made from a high-quality, soft, and flexible material designed to minimize discomfort.
  • Customizable Fit: Integrated Velcro tabs allow for precise adjustments to achieve a conforming fit tailored to the individual.
  • High Elasticity: The material offers significant flexibility, able to stretch up to 1.5 times its initial size.
  • Minimizes Shifting: A generous belt width is utilized to reduce sliding or shifting during sleep, ensuring reliable and accurate data collection.
Is the SleepSense belt widely compatible with PSG systems?

Yes, the SleepSense Adult Inductive Plethysmography Belt offers broad compatibility for accurate respiratory effort monitoring in professional sleep studies.

The belts utilize inductive technology and connect to any system compatible with inductive effort sensors via a dedicated SleepSense interface cable. They integrate seamlessly with polysomnography (PSG) systems from major brands, including:

  • CareFusion
  • Cadwell
  • CompuMedics
  • Philips Respironics
  • Natus
  • Nihon Kohden
Do the belts use high-quality, flexible material?

Yes, the SleepSense Inductive Plethysmography Belts are constructed from a high-quality, soft, and highly flexible material, prioritizing patient comfort and reliable data acquisition.

Key features related to the material and design include:

  • Superior Comfort: The soft, pliable fabric features a generous width designed to minimize sliding or shifting during nocturnal studies.
  • Optimal Fit: Integrated Velcro tabs allow technicians to achieve a precise, customized fit. The fabric can stretch significantly, accommodating expansion up to 1.5 times its initial size.
  • Durability and Value: These professional-grade belts are semi-reusable, offering an estimated lifespan of approximately 70 uses, providing a low cost per use for clinical environments.
Are these belts offered in different colors?

Yes, the SleepSense Adult Inductive Plethysmography Belts are primarily available in two colors, which can help distinguish separate channels during sleep studies:

  • White
  • Blue

Additionally, the Velcro fastening tabs may feature accent colors (such as Yellow or Blue) that can vary based on the specific size configuration (Large, XL, XXL) chosen.

Is the inductive breathing measurement accurate?

Yes, the SleepSense belts utilize Inductive Plethysmography (RIP/Inductive Technology), which is specifically engineered for highly accurate and reliable measurement of respiration.

This technology provides a precise replication of respiration waveforms by:

  • Measuring subtle changes in the cross-section area of the band loop (chest or abdomen) as the patient breathes.
  • Converting these physical changes into proportional changes in the belt’s electrical inductance.

This results in accurate respiration waveforms that are essential for professional clinical analysis when connected to a compatible system.

Is this professional belt supplied as a 2-pack?

Yes, the SleepSense Adult Inductive Plethysmography Belts are supplied exclusively as a 2-pack. This configuration is beneficial for professional monitoring settings:

  • It allows for dual-site monitoring (thoracic and abdominal) necessary for comprehensive Polysomnography (PSG) studies.
  • It ensures an immediate backup is available for continuous clinical operation.
Is this professional-grade equipment?

Yes, this equipment is strictly for professional use.

  • The SleepSense Adult Inductive Plethysmography Belt is intended for clinical settings such as sleep laboratories or professional home sleep testing environments.
  • Usage Restriction: This device is for professional use only and is available for sale by or on the order of a physician.
Is the belt comfortable and secure?

Yes, the SleepSense belts are specifically engineered using soft, high-quality, flexible material to ensure both superior patient comfort and reliable signal integrity during extended sleep studies. The design prioritizes stability and conformity.

Key features maximizing the fit and stability include:

  • Custom Adjustment: Equipped with strong Velcro tabs, the belts can be precisely tailored to the patient’s anatomy, ensuring a conforming fit.
  • Enhanced Stability: The belts feature a generous width designed to minimize sliding, shifting, or rotation, which helps maintain accurate waveform data throughout the night.
  • Dynamic Comfort: The material is highly flexible and can stretch up to 1.5 times its initial size, accommodating natural breathing and movement without causing discomfort.

These adult inductive belts are available in three sizes: Large (90 cm), XL (120 cm), and XXL (150 cm).

Are different configurations of the belt available?

Yes, the SleepSense Adult Inductive Plethysmography Belt comes in various configurations to suit different clinical needs and patient sizes:

  • Sizes: Large (90 cm), XL (120 cm), XXL (150 cm)
  • Colors/Velcro Coding: White or Blue (each with specific Velcro contrast colors for visual differentiation)
