Frequently asked questions
Is the respiration signal highly reliable?
Yes, the SleepSense sensor is specifically engineered for diagnostic reliability using advanced features:
- Piezo-Electric Crystal Technology: Converts respiration movement directly into a clear, strong analog voltage waveform.
- High Immunity: It features an isolated element that provides excellent immunity to environmental artifacts, helping to maintain signal integrity during monitoring.
- Individual Calibration: Each sensor is individually calibrated to ensure consistent sensitivity and deliver a stable signal suitable for professional polygraph studies.
Is the SleepSense Double Buckle Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor suitable for home apnea monitoring?
No, this device is intended for diagnostic purposes and professional use only, and should not be used as an apnea monitor.
Are the SleepSense sensors calibrated individually?
Yes, the sensors are individually calibrated for consistent sensitivity, ensuring accurate readings.
What is the primary diagnostic use of the sensor?
The SleepSense Double Buckle Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor is strictly intended for professional diagnostic monitoring of respiration effort in clinical or sleep laboratory settings. It works by utilizing its Piezo-Electric Crystal technology to: * Convert mechanical movement from the patient’s chest or abdomen into a strong, stable analog voltage waveform. * This signal, which connects to an AC (low level) channel on a compatible recorder, provides a reliable indication of respiratory effort during studies. Crucially, this device is designed for professional use only and must not be used as an apnea monitor.
Does the SleepSense sensor offer strong immunity to environmental interference?
The SleepSense Double Buckle Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor features an isolated element design that provides excellent immunity to environmental artifacts. This design ensures that the respiration waveforms are clear and stable, minimizing interference and enhancing data accuracy.
How durable is the SleepSense sensor?
The SleepSense sensor is designed with a piezo crystal in an ABS box and features a sturdy mechanical design, making it highly durable for professional diagnostic use. It’s built to withstand typical clinical environments.
What are the optimal polygraph settings for this sensor?
For optimal performance, the SleepSense Double Buckle Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor is typically used with these polygraph settings:
- Sensitivity: 100 to 300 μV/mm
- Low Frequency Filter: 0.1 Hz
- High Frequency Filter: 70 Hz
These settings help ensure the sensor provides a clear and stable signal for accurate respiration monitoring.
How long is the sensor cable?
The sensor cable is 6 feet 7 inches (6’7”) long, providing sufficient length for professional diagnostic setups. The cable is made with white PVC insulation tinsel wire and terminates in a secure 1.5 mm touch-proof connector.
What are the operating temperature limits for the SleepSense sensor?
The SleepSense sensor’s operating temperature range is 40 to 104 °F.
What are the sensor housing dimensions?
The piezo crystal sensor element is housed in a small, durable ABS box. Its dimensions are 1” x 0.7” x 0.5”.
