Frequently asked questions
Is this sensor suitable for at-home professional use?
Yes, the SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is suitable for professional use in both sleep laboratories and at a patient’s home. It is specifically designed for sleep disorder studies in both children and adult patients.
Can this sensor be used on children as well as adults?
Yes, the SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is designed for use with both children and adult patients during sleep disorder studies.
What do the Standard and Kit configurations include?
The SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is available in two configurations:
- Standard: Includes the DC Body Position Sensor unit only. This is the core device with the Xltek-Compatible Safety DIN Connector.
- Kit (With Body Position Buckle Band): Includes the DC Body Position Sensor and the Body Position Buckle Band - Large (#1550). This kit provides the necessary band for secure attachment of the sensor during monitoring.
Which sleeping postures does the sensor detect?
The SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor utilizes a high-precision gravity switch to accurately detect five distinct patient postures, outputting 5 distinct Type A DC signal levels that are directly proportional to the position. This detailed information is crucial for comprehensive sleep disorder analysis.
The five specific postures detected are:
- Supine (on the back)
- Prone (on the stomach)
- Left side
- Right side
- Sitting
Is the sensor designed for optimal patient comfort?
Yes, the SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is specifically engineered for high patient comfort and tolerance during sleep disorder studies. Its design features:
- A small size
- A contoured shape
These elements minimize physical imposition and interference, making the sensor suitable for extended monitoring sessions on both children and adult patients.
How many DC signals does the Xltek sensor output?
The SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is engineered to output 5 distinct DC signal levels (Type A) for precise posture analysis.
This sensor is fully Xltek-Compatible and utilizes a Safety DIN Connector for seamless integration into existing monitoring systems. The 5 DC signal levels correspond directly to the patient’s detected sleeping positions via an integrated gravity switch:
- Supine
- Prone
- Left
- Right
- Sitting
This detailed positional output is crucial for comprehensive diagnostic accuracy during sleep disorder studies.
Does this sensor use a replaceable battery?
No, the SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is powered by an internal, non-replaceable battery. This is typical for this factory-new medical device, ensuring its reliable performance during sleep disorder studies.
Does the sensor tolerate various temperature and humidity levels?
The SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is designed to operate and be stored within the following environmental specifications to ensure continuous accuracy during sleep studies:
- Operating Temperature: 40 to 104 °F (5 to 40 °C)
- Storage Temperature: -4 to 140 °F (-20 to 60 °C)
- Operating and Storage Humidity: 5% to 95% (non-condensing)
How is the sensor secured to the patient?
The SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is engineered for reliable physical attachment and electrical integration, ensuring maximum patient comfort:
- Physical Attachment: The sensor unit features a small, contoured design for improved patient tolerance. It is secured by wrapping around a compatible patient monitoring system, such as a RIP/Inductive Belt or Band (#1550).
- Electrical Connection: The device connects to monitoring equipment using a standard Safety DIN Connector.
There are two purchase options available to suit your needs:
- Standard Configuration (#1585): Includes the sensor only, for attachment to your existing RIP/Inductive belt.
- Kit Configuration (#1585-Kit): Includes the sensor plus the Large Body Position Buckle Band (#1550), providing the complete attachment system.
Is the sensor intended for professional use?
Yes, the SleepSense DC Body Position Sensor is exclusively intended for professional clinical use in sleep disorder studies (Polysomnography).
Key details regarding its application include:
- Usage Restriction: This device is restricted for sale by or on the order of a physician only.
- Intended Environment: Suitable for use in clinical sleep laboratories or supervised home sleep study environments.
- Patient Compatibility: Designed for use on both children and adult patients.
