SleepSense Alice 5 Double Buckle Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor

The SleepSense Alice 5 Effort Sensor is designed to directly replace the original Alice 5 Effort Sensor. This ensures seamless compatibility and easy integration with existing Alice 5 systems, eliminating the need for modifications or adjustments.

The SleepSense sensor utilizes piezo-electric crystal technology to precisely measure respiratory effort. This professional-grade sensing mechanism works by:

• Converting the physical movement of the chest or abdomen during respiration into a small, usable analog voltage signal.
• Generating a clear and reliable representation of respiration waveforms.

This provides essential, accurate data for monitoring during clinical sleep studies.

The SleepSense sensor incorporates several key design features to ensure reliable attachment and long-term durability:

• Secure Attachment: The sensor uses a robust double buckle system, incorporating double loops and Velcro tabs for secure placement and consistent respiratory movement monitoring.
• Durable Construction: The sensor element is protected within a small, rugged ABS box housing. The connecting cable is insulated with durable White PVC tinsel wire, designed to withstand frequent use in clinical settings.

The SleepSense Alice 5 Double Buckle Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor is designed with specific filter settings for optimal performance:

• Recommended High Pass Filter Setting: 0.1 Hz
• Recommended Low Pass Filter Setting: 70 Hz

The SleepSense Alice 5 Effort Sensor is designed to operate and be stored within specific environmental ranges to maintain optimal performance and longevity:

• Operating Conditions (While in Use):
  • Temperature: 40 to 104 °F
  • Humidity: 5 to 95% (non-condensing)
• Storage Conditions (When Not in Use):
  • Temperature: -4 to 140 °F
  • Humidity: 5 to 95% (non-condensing)

This sensor is specifically designed for professional use in clinical environments, primarily for respiratory effort monitoring during polysomnography (PSG) sleep studies. It provides a clear indication of respiration waveforms by utilizing a piezo-electric crystal to measure movement. * System Compatibility: It is engineered as a direct replacement and is intended for integration into existing sleep monitoring systems compatible with Alice 5 standard sensors. * Restriction: As a professional-grade medical accessory, its sale and use are strictly restricted to or by the order of a physician.

The SleepSense Alice 5 Effort Sensor package includes all components necessary for immediate use:

• The Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor unit, which features an integrated white PVC tinsel wire cable and connection tips (white and blue connectors).
• The Double buckle/loop/Velcro strap mechanism for secure, reliable attachment to the patient’s chest or abdomen.
