Frequently asked questions
Which professional PSG systems work with this sensor?
The SleepSense Embla PTFlow Thermistor Sensor is engineered for highly accurate respiration airflow monitoring and seamlessly integrates with several professional Polysomnography (PSG) systems. The sensor connects using a Key Connector.
It is compatible with the following major systems:
- Natus Embla: N7000 and S4500
- Nihon Kohden: Polysmith
Key Integration Features
- System Powered: This sensor operates efficiently by drawing power directly from the connected Embla PSG system, eliminating the need for separate power sources.
- Dual Cannula Compatibility: The unique hanger mechanism allows the sensor to attach easily to any brand of adult nasal cannula, enabling simultaneous use with a pressure cannula for comprehensive respiratory monitoring.
Does this sensor provide superior respiration airflow accuracy?
Yes, the SleepSense Embla PTFlow Thermistor Sensor is specifically engineered to provide the strongest and most accurate respiration airflow signal available for compatible PSG systems.
Its design ensures high signal integrity and reliability:
- Thermistor Technology: Utilizes high-quality thermistor technology for consistent and strong signal generation.
- System Power: The sensor is powered directly by the Embla PSG system, ensuring reliable and continuous operation without external batteries.
- Dual Monitoring Capability: Features a specialized hanger that attaches to any adult nasal cannula, allowing for simultaneous use with a pressure cannula setup to maximize data collection.
- Optimal Settings: For best performance, recommended filter settings are 0.1 Hz (High Pass) and 70 Hz (Low Pass).
Does the sensor allow dual use with a pressure cannula?
Yes, this sensor is specifically engineered for simultaneous use with a pressure cannula. It features a unique hanger mechanism that easily and durably attaches to virtually any brand of adult nasal cannula. This design ensures you can maximize data acquisition by monitoring both respiration airflow and pressure concurrently during sleep studies.
Does the sensor ensure patient comfort?
Yes, the SleepSense Embla PTFlow Thermistor Sensor is engineered for enhanced patient comfort during extended monitoring studies.
Key features that maximize patient ease include:
- Ergonomic Structure: The sensor uses a small, rounded TPE center and three bendable prongs. These allow for minor adjustments to ensure optimal positioning and comfort throughout the night.
- Seamless Integration: A unique hanger mechanism easily attaches to any brand of adult nasal cannula. This design allows for the simultaneous use of a pressure cannula setup without compromising patient tolerance or comfort.
Does the sensor use high-quality thermistor technology?
Yes, the SleepSense Embla PTFlow is a dedicated thermistor sensor engineered for superior signal accuracy and reliability in Polysomnography (PSG) studies. It is designed to capture high-quality respiration airflow data.
Key features of the sensor’s technology include:
- Superior Signal: It consistently provides the strongest and most accurate respiration airflow signal available for reliable overnight monitoring.
- Comfortable Design: The sensor utilizes a small, rounded center made of Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) and three bendable prongs, allowing for minor adjustments and enhanced patient comfort.
- System Integration: It is powered directly by the connected Embla PSG system, guaranteeing reliable and continuous operation throughout the study.
- Optimal Settings: For best data acquisition, the recommended filter settings are 0.1 Hz (High Pass) and 70 Hz (Low Pass).
