Frequently asked questions
Is this snore sensor compatible with other sleep monitoring systems besides the Philips Respironics Alice 6?
The SleepSense Alice 6 Piezo Snore Sensor is designed specifically for use with the Philips Respironics Alice 6 unit. This ensures seamless integration and reliable data collection during sleep monitoring.
Is this sensor exclusively for professional medical use?
Yes, the SleepSense Alice 6 Piezo Snore Sensor is strictly intended for professional medical use in clinical settings, such as polysomnography (PSG) testing.
Key details regarding its usage and requirements:
- Professional Use Only: This device is classified for professional medical use, and its sale is restricted; it must be purchased or sold only by or on the order of a physician.
- Compatibility: It is engineered for seamless integration exclusively with the Philips Respironics Alice 6 monitoring unit.
- Function: The sensor accurately measures skin vibrations associated with snoring, offering a proportional signal output while maintaining immunity to ambient noise.
Is the sensor immune to ambient noise?
Yes, the SleepSense Alice 6 Piezo Snore Sensor is specifically engineered with robust ambient noise immunity. This is a critical feature for professional diagnostic use.
- How it works: The sensor focuses on detecting mechanical skin vibrations transmitted through the body, which are indicative of snoring.
- Benefit: This design makes the signal output proportional to the vibration intensity while remaining insensitive to background or environmental noise, ensuring high signal purity and fidelity for accurate sleep studies.
Is the sensor cable a generous length?
Yes, the cable measures 200 cm in length. This ample measurement is designed to provide sufficient reach and flexibility for professional polysomnography applications. The cable features durable white PVC insulation.
Are specific filter settings recommended for optimal performance?
Yes, the SleepSense sensor is designed for optimal data quality and has recommended electrical filtering settings:
- Recommended High Pass Filter Setting: 50 Hz
- Recommended Low Pass Filter Setting: 500 Hz
These settings help optimize the signal quality for accurate snore detection during polysomnography.
What is the signal output for loud snoring?
The SleepSense Piezo Snore Sensor provides a signal output that is directly proportional to the skin vibrations caused by snoring. For loud snoring events, the sensor is engineered to deliver approximately 1 mV. This precise, proportional signal helps ensure accurate data for professional analysis when integrated with the Philips Respironics Alice 6 monitoring unit.
What are the operating and storage humidity limits?
The SleepSense sensor is designed to operate and be stored within a relative humidity range of 5% to 95% (non-condensing).
Is this snore sensor a new product?
Yes, the SleepSense Alice 6 Piezo Snore Sensor is factory new.
What are the sensor's temperature limits?
The SleepSense Alice 6 Piezo Snore Sensor is built for robust performance across varying conditions, supporting both wide operating and storage temperature ranges:
- Operating Temperature: 40 to 104 °F
- Storage Temperature: -4 to 140 °F
The sensor is also rated for 5 to 95% non-condensing humidity for both operation and storage.
How does the snore sensor detect snoring?
The SleepSense Alice 6 Piezo Snore Sensor detects snoring by sensing vibrations on the skin. It provides a signal proportional to these vibrations, ensuring accurate detection while being relatively insensitive to ambient noise.
