Frequently asked questions

Does the sensor provide reliable respiratory waveform data?

The SleepSense sensor is specifically designed for high-fidelity respiratory monitoring, providing reliable and clear respiration waveforms for professional use.

Key details about the sensing technology:

  • Piezo-Electric Crystal: The core of the system is the Piezo-Electric Crystal sensor (# 1399-Kit), which accurately measures chest or abdominal movement by converting physical excursions into a measurable analog voltage.
  • Exclusive Compatibility: This kit is engineered to integrate and perform optimally only with Alice 5 monitoring systems.
  • Signal Optimization: For the best results, the manufacturer recommends specific filter settings: a High Pass Filter of 0.1 Hz and a Low Pass Filter of 70 Hz (though users should adhere to system-specific recommendations).

The sensor element is housed securely in a compact ABS box and attached using a reliable double buckle and Velcro tab system.

What is in the complete effort sensor kit?

This complete kit provides all the necessary components for measuring respiratory effort and is engineered specifically for use with Alice 5 monitoring systems.

Included in the SleepSense Effort Sensor Kit are the following physical components:

  • Piezo-Electric Crystal Sensor (# 1399-Kit): Housed in a durable ABS box, this sensor uses Piezo-Electric technology to convert chest or abdominal movement into reliable analog voltage signals for respiration waveform generation.
  • Double Buckle Respiration Band: This band features a secure double buckle mechanism and adjustable Velcro tabs for precise and continuous placement during sleep studies.
  • Connecting Cable: A white PVC insulated tinsel wire cable is provided for connectivity to your monitoring equipment.
What are the key sensor and band features?

The SleepSense Alice 5 Effort Sensor Kit is designed for reliable respiration monitoring using two main components:

  • Piezo Crystal Sensor (# 1399-Kit): This core component utilizes a Piezo-Electric Crystal to accurately convert chest or abdominal movement into a measurable analog voltage (respiration waveforms). The sensor element is protected within a compact, durable ABS box (1” x 0.7” x 0.5”) and connects via white PVC insulated tinsel wire.
  • Double Buckle Band: The respiration band features a secure double buckle system paired with Velcro tabs. This robust design ensures adjustable and secure placement on the chest or abdomen for consistent and accurate effort measurement.
What are the recommended filter settings?

The SleepSense sensor utilizes a Piezo-Electric Crystal to generate respiration waveforms, and specific filter settings are recommended for optimal signal processing and clarity:

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

It is important to note that while these are general recommendations, you should always adhere to the specific instructions and requirements provided by your Alice 5 monitoring system.

Is this sensor kit for professional use?

Yes, the SleepSense Alice 5 Double Buckle Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor Kit is specifically designed for professional use in sleep studies and respiratory monitoring. It is intended to be sold by or on the order of a physician only.

What are the operating and storage environment specifications?

The SleepSense sensor kit is engineered for reliable performance within specific temperature and humidity ranges for both operation and storage:

  • 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)
Is the Piezo-Electric sensor highly reliable?

Yes, the SleepSense sensor is engineered to provide highly reliable respiratory data for professional sleep studies.

Its reliability is driven by:

  • Piezo-Electric Crystal Technology: The sensor (Component ID # 1399-Kit) utilizes a Piezo-Electric Crystal that efficiently converts chest or abdominal movement into a stable analog voltage, ensuring clear and reliable respiration waveforms.
  • Optimized Integration: The kit is designed specifically for seamless and optimal performance with Alice 5 monitoring systems.
  • Signal Clarity: For the best results, recommended signal processing settings include a High Pass Filter of 0.1 Hz and a Low Pass Filter of 70 Hz.
  • Secure Housing: The effort sensor is protected by a small, durable ABS box (1” x 0.7” x 0.5”) and secured with a double buckle band and Velcro tabs for consistent placement.
Is the sensor cable highly durable?

Yes, the sensor cable is designed for durability and reliable performance. It uses white PVC insulation tinsel wire.

This material choice helps ensure reliable signal transmission of the analog voltage waveform generated by the Piezo-Electric Crystal sensor during respiration monitoring.

Is this sensor compatible with my system?

This sensor kit is specifically designed for use with Alice 5 polysomnography systems, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance.

What technology measures respiration movement?

The SleepSense effort sensor uses Piezo-Electric Crystal technology to provide highly reliable indications of respiratory effort.

This method works by:

  • Conversion: The Piezo-Electric Crystal converts the physical movement of the chest or abdomen during respiration into a precise analog voltage signal.
  • Waveforms: This signal generates clear respiration waveforms, essential for detailed analysis during clinical sleep studies.

Key Specification: This specific sensor kit (ID # 1399-Kit) is engineered exclusively for use with Alice 5 monitoring systems.
