Compatibility Details

• Cadwell: Easy Ambulatory PSG, ApneaTrak
• Natus: Embla N7000, Embla S4500

Key Performance Feature

This robust sensor is specifically designed to detect skin vibrations, making it immune to ambient noise interference for cleaner signal acquisition during sleep studies.

Filtering Recommendations

For optimal use, the manufacturer recommends setting the High Pass Filter to 50 Hz and the Low Pass Filter to 500 Hz (or as recommended by the connected system).

Yes, the SleepSense Embla Piezo Snore Sensor is engineered for professional, repeated use with a focus on durability and simple maintenance.

• Robust Construction: The sensor features a highly robust construction and utilizes durable white PVC insulation on the cable, allowing it to withstand the demands of a clinical environment.
• Simple Cleaning: The design ensures the sensor is simple to clean between patients, promoting high hygiene standards and an efficient workflow.

Yes, the SleepSense Embla Piezo Snore Sensor is specifically engineered with ambient noise immunity for reliable clinical performance.

Its robust design ensures a clean signal by focusing on physical vibrations rather than sound waves:

• Piezo Technology: It detects skin vibrations caused by snoring, filtering out environmental sounds.
• Signal Accuracy: The output signal is directly proportional to the vibration level, providing a measurable signal (approximately 1 mV for loud snoring).

This focused approach ensures reliable data acquisition critical for professional sleep studies, independent of background noise.

The SleepSense Embla Piezo Snore Sensor requires specific filter settings during signal processing to ensure optimal performance and reliable data capture:

• Recommended High Pass Filter Setting: 50 Hz
• Recommended Low Pass Filter Setting: 500 Hz (or as directed by the instructions of your specific monitoring system)

Using these professional-grade settings ensures the sensor accurately captures the signal proportional to skin vibrations, maintaining its immunity to ambient noise.

Yes, the SleepSense Embla Piezo Snore Sensor provides a precise output signal proportional to the intensity of the snoring vibration.

• Signal Strength: The sensor is specified to generate an output signal of approximately 1 mV when detecting loud snoring.
• Superior Data Quality: This piezo technology captures only skin vibrations, ensuring the signal is proportional to the detected vibration level and providing strong immunity to ambient environmental noise for cleaner, more reliable data in sleep studies.
• Filtering Recommendations: For accurate signal processing, the manufacturer recommends the following settings:
  • High Pass Filter: 50 Hz
  • Low Pass Filter: 500 Hz (or as specified by your connected monitoring system).

The SleepSense Embla Piezo Snore Sensor is available in two convenient lengths to suit various monitoring needs:

• 23.5 inches (60 cm)
• 78 inches (200 cm)

No, SleepSense items are for professional use only, and are for sale by or on the order of a physician only. It is intended for use in clinical and laboratory settings.

Yes, the cable for the SleepSense Embla Piezo Snore Sensor utilizes White PVC insulation. This robust design makes the sensor durable, reliable, and simple to clean for repeated professional use in clinical environments.

The SleepSense Embla Piezo Snore Sensor is highly robust and is rated for a broad humidity range for both use and storage:
