Frequently asked questions
Which sleep monitoring systems is this sensor compatible with?
The sensor is compatible with Embla Systems. Ensure your system meets the necessary specifications for optimal performance.
What comes with this sensor?
The SleepSense Embla Abdomen Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor package includes the following two primary components, ready for integration with your Embla Systems:
- Abdomen Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor: The main sensing unit, featuring a small, smooth contour for patient comfort, secured by double buckle and Velcro tabs.
- Connecting Cable: A durable cable equipped with a key connector for linking the sensor to the respiratory monitoring system.
What does this Embla sensor measure?
This specialized SleepSense sensor is designed to accurately monitor abdominal respiration movement during professional sleep studies and respiratory monitoring.Key functions and features include:* Measurement: It uses Piezo-Electric Crystal Technology to convert mechanical movement into a stable, analog voltage signal, providing clear indications of respiration airforms.* Compatibility: The sensor is engineered specifically for use with Embla Systems.* Design Benefits: Its isolated element enhances immunity to environmental artifacts, and its high sensitivity ensures signal stability even if the sensor shifts during monitoring. The small size (1” x 0.7” x 0.5”) and smooth contour also improve patient comfort.* Note: This product is intended strictly for professional use and requires a physician’s order.
Does this sensor offer enhanced signal stability and comfort?
The SleepSense Embla Abdomen Sensor is specifically designed to provide highly accurate and reliable respiratory effort monitoring with enhanced patient comfort.
Key advantages include:
- Reliable Piezo-Electric Technology: The core Piezo-Electric Crystal converts abdominal respiration movement directly into a clear, small analog voltage signal, ensuring reliable indication of respiration airforms.
- Superior Signal Stability: High sensitivity maintains signal integrity and stability, even if the sensor shifts slightly during a study.
- Reduced Interference: An isolated element is incorporated to significantly increase immunity to environmental artifacts, resulting in cleaner, more accurate data.
- Improved Patient Tolerance: The sensor features a small size and smooth contour (1” x 0.7” x 0.5” ABS box), designed for optimal patient comfort during extended monitoring sessions.
Does this sensor come with a warranty?
Yes, the SleepSense Embla Abdomen Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor comes with a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
What ensures stable signal readings?
The SleepSense Embla Abdomen Piezo Crystal Effort Sensor is engineered with several features to ensure maximum signal stability and reliability:
- Piezo-Electric Crystal Technology: This core mechanism accurately translates respiration movement into a clear, stable analog voltage signal for unambiguous indications of breathing patterns (respiration airforms).
- Enhanced Immunity: It includes an isolated element that increases immunity to environmental artifacts, effectively minimizing external interference.
- High Sensitivity: This allows the sensor to maintain improved signal stability and integrity, even if the device experiences slight shifting during monitoring.
- Patient Comfort Design: The small size and smooth contour help improve patient tolerance, which indirectly prevents excessive movement or displacement that could disrupt readings.
Is a prescription required to purchase this sensor?
The sensor is designed for professional use and can only be sold by or on the order of a physician.
What are the recommended storage conditions for the SleepSense Embla Abdomen sensor?
The sensor should be stored in temperatures between -4 to 140 °F and in humidity levels between 5 to 95% (non-condensing).
How compact are the sensor's dimensions?
The SleepSense Effort Sensor is engineered to be compact for improved patient comfort during extended monitoring. Here are the key physical specifications:
- Sensor Housing: The Piezo-Electric Crystal is housed in a small ABS box measuring 1” x 0.7” x 0.5”.
- Attachment Method: It features a double buckle design secured with double loop/Velcro tabs for a secure and dependable fit.
- Cable Details: The connection cable utilizes white PVC insulation tinsel wire.
Its small size and smooth contour are specifically designed to enhance patient tolerance during sleep studies.
