Frequently asked questions
Does the sensor use a standard safety touch-proof connector?
Yes, the sensor utilizes clinical standard connectors for safe and reliable use in professional environments.
- Signal Output: The primary cable terminates in a 1.5 mm touch-proof connector for connection to the polygraph system.
- Strap Connectivity: The device uses Safety DIN connectors to interface with elastic-velcro bands, ensuring secure application to the chest or abdomen.
The attached cable measures 6 feet 7 inches (200 cm) in length and is constructed from white PVC insulation tinsel wire.
Is the SleepSense respiratory effort sensor suitable for home use as an apnea monitor?
No, this device is not intended for use as an apnea monitor and is designed for professional use only.
What is included with the sensor?
The sensor package includes the main sensor unit with the attached 6’7” (200 cm) cable and the 1.5 mm touch-proof connector.
Please Note: While the sensor is designed to be applied using an elastic-velcro band, the band itself is not included and must be sourced separately for proper application.
What are the typical polygraph settings?
The product is designed to integrate with standard polygraph systems for diagnostic analysis. The typical recommended settings for reliable respiratory waveform capture are:
- Sensitivity: 100 to 300 5V/mm
- Low Frequency Filter: 0.1 Hz
- High Frequency Filter: 70 Hz
Additionally, the typical signal amplitude is approximately 1 mV peak to peak, though this figure is dependent on proper positioning and strap tension.
Does the sensor have high immunity to environmental artifacts?
Yes, the SleepSense Double Loop Piezo Crystal Sensor is designed for reliable diagnostic performance with high immunity to interference. It features an isolated element within the durable ABS housing, which significantly minimizes environmental artifacts, ensuring cleaner and more stable respiration waveform readings.
How does the SleepSense respiratory effort sensor work?
The SleepSense Double Loop Piezo Crystal Respiratory Effort Sensor utilizes a piezo-electric crystal to convert chest or abdominal respiration movement into a small analog voltage. This provides a clear indication of respiration waveforms, allowing for effective respiratory monitoring.
What is the typical signal amplitude?
The typical signal amplitude generated by this sensor is 1 mV peak to peak.
Note that the actual amplitude can vary depending on operational factors, including:
- Sensor position on the chest or abdomen
- Strap tension
- The specific characteristics of your monitoring polygraph system
What are the operating temperature and humidity ranges for this device?
The SleepSense respiratory effort sensor is designed to operate within the following conditions:
- 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)
What are the key benefits of this piezo crystal sensor?
The SleepSense Double Loop Piezo Crystal Respiratory Effort Sensor offers several key benefits:
- Sturdy Mechanical Design: Ensures durability and long-term use.
- Isolated Element: Provides excellent immunity to environmental artifacts, resulting in accurate readings.
- Strong and Stable Signal: Delivers reliable respiration waveforms.
- Individually Calibrated Sensors: Guarantees consistent sensitivity for precise measurements.
- No Battery or Interface Required: Simplifies setup and operation.
Is a battery required to operate this sensor?
No, the SleepSense Double Loop Piezo Crystal Respiratory Effort Sensor is designed for simplicity and ease of use, requiring no battery or external interface.
