Description

The SleepSense Alice 5 compatible body position sensors (# 1567) use the same active element as the original device, however the case for these sensors is made of soft thermoplastic urethane. This results in a lower profile, which improves patient tolerance and facilitates better sensor/patient alignment.

Warranty: Factory 1 Year - Free of Defects in Materials and Quality Workmanship.

Compatibility: The SleepSense Alice 5 DC Body Position Sensorr is completely compatible with the Philips Respironics Alice 5 unit.

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

Frequently asked questions

Is the sensor compatible with Philips Alice 5?

Yes, the SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is engineered for direct and full compatibility with the Philips Respironics Alice 5 sleep monitoring system. It uses the identical active electronic element as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sensor to ensure accurate data acquisition in professional medical environments.

Is the sensor designed for enhanced patient comfort?

Yes, this SleepSense body position sensor is specifically engineered to maximize patient comfort and tolerance during extended sleep studies. This is achieved through key design elements:

  • Soft Casing: The sensor features a casing made from soft thermoplastic urethane (TPU).
  • Low Profile Design: It has a significantly lower profile compared to original devices.

This optimized construction provides two main benefits:

  1. Improved Patient Tolerance: The soft material and reduced size minimize disturbance during overnight monitoring.
  2. Optimal Alignment: The low profile facilitates better sensor-to-patient alignment, which is critical for accurate data acquisition during polysomnography.
Does this sensor use the original active element?

Yes, the SleepSense Alice 5 DC Body Position Sensor utilizes the identical active electronic element found in the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Alice 5 sensor.

This ensures reliable data acquisition and consistent performance matching the original device. Furthermore, the active element is housed in a soft thermoplastic urethane (TPU) case, giving it a lower profile for enhanced patient comfort and optimized alignment during monitoring.

Is this body position sensor restricted to professional medical use?

Yes, this SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is strictly designated for professional medical use and is not intended for general consumer purchase.

Here are the specific usage requirements and key features:

  • Intended Use: It is intended exclusively for clinical environments, such as sleep labs, hospitals, and physician-ordered home sleep testing setups.
  • Sale Requirement: The product must be sold by or on the order of a licensed physician.
  • Compatibility: It is fully compatible as a replacement or accessory for the Philips Respironics Alice 5 monitoring system, utilizing an identical active sensing element for consistent accuracy.
  • Patient Comfort: The sensor housing features a low-profile design made from soft thermoplastic urethane, which improves patient tolerance during extended monitoring sessions and facilitates superior sensor-to-patient alignment.
Does this body position sensor offer a low-profile design?

Yes, the SleepSense Alice 5 DC Body Position Sensor is designed with a lower profile compared to the original equipment, greatly benefiting patient experience.

This improved design is achieved through:

  • Soft Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU): The case material is softer and less rigid than the original device.
  • Enhanced Tolerance: The lower profile significantly improves patient comfort and tolerance during long monitoring periods.
  • Better Alignment: The reduced size and profile facilitate improved sensor-to-patient alignment, ensuring accurate data capture for the Philips Respironics Alice 5 unit.
Does the low profile design enhance sensor alignment?

Yes, the low-profile design of the SleepSense Alice 5 DC Body Position Sensor is engineered to improve both patient comfort and data reliability.

  • Optimized Alignment: The casing is made from soft thermoplastic urethane (TPU), giving it a significantly lower profile than original sensors. This reduced profile enhances the sensor-to-patient alignment, which is critical for consistent and accurate body position tracking.
  • Enhanced Comfort: The soft TPU material also contributes to greater patient tolerance and comfort during extended sleep studies.
  • Factual Accuracy: Furthermore, the sensor uses the identical active sensing element found in the original Philips Respironics Alice 5 equipment, ensuring comparable functional accuracy.
Does this sensor enhance patient comfort?

The SleepSense Alice 5 DC Body Position Sensor features a soft thermoplastic urethane case and a lower profile design. This thoughtful construction greatly improves patient tolerance and ensures better sensor-to-patient alignment for accurate readings during sleep studies.

Is the sensor case made of soft material?

The SleepSense Alice 5 DC Body Position Sensor features a case made from soft thermoplastic urethane. This material provides a lower profile, which enhances patient comfort and improves sensor alignment during sleep studies.

Is a prescription needed for purchase?

Yes, a prescription is required. Sales of this device are restricted to orders placed by or on behalf of a physician.

What materials are used for the sensor's construction?

The sensor’s case is constructed from soft thermoplastic urethane. This material choice contributes to its lower profile, enhancing patient comfort and alignment during use.
