Description

The SleepSense Beltless Piezo Effort Sensor (#1390) with safety DIN connectors is a miniature, flat Piezo Sensor that was especially designed for infants and preemies. Apply this sensor with a piece of adhesive tape on the chest or abdomen to acquire a strong and stable effort signal.

Warranty: Factory 1 Year - Free of Defects in Materials and Quality Workmanship.

Using a piezo-electric crystal, the respiration effort sensor converts chest or abdominal respiration motions to a small analog voltage that provides a clear, reliable indication of respiration waveforms. The micro-effort sensor is especially small and sensitive to higher frequency respiration movements, and was designed for monitoring respiration movements of infants and preterm babies.

The sensor does not require a battery or interface; it is easily activated by plugging the connector(s) into any AC (low level) channel on the recorder.

Frequently asked questions

What age range is the SleepSense Infant Piezo Beltless Effort Sensor designed for?

This sensor is specifically designed for infants and preemies, making it ideal for monitoring respiration in this delicate population.

How is the SleepSense Infant Piezo Beltless Effort Sensor attached to the infant?

The sensor is applied to the chest or abdomen using adhesive tape, eliminating the need for cumbersome belts and enhancing comfort for the infant.

What type of signal does the SleepSense Infant Piezo Beltless Effort Sensor output?

The sensor converts chest or abdominal movements into a clear analog voltage signal, providing a reliable indication of respiration waveforms.

What are the recommended high and low pass filter settings for the sensor?

The recommended settings are a 0.1 Hz high pass filter and a 70 Hz low pass filter.

Does it use standard safety DIN connectors?

Yes, the SleepSense Infant Piezo Effort Sensor is equipped with Safety DIN connectors.

These connectors ensure a secure and reliable interface when plugging into the AC (low-level) channel of a compatible monitoring recorder. A key benefit of this setup is the sensor’s passive operation:

  • The Piezo element is activated simply by being connected.
  • It requires no internal battery or external power source.
Does the SleepSense Infant Piezo Beltless Effort Sensor require a battery?

No, the SleepSense Infant Piezo Beltless Effort Sensor does not require a battery. It connects directly to any AC (low level) channel on the recorder.

What are the operating and storage temperature ranges for the SleepSense Infant Piezo Beltless Effort Sensor?

The operating temperature range is 40 to 104 °F (5 to 40 °C), and the storage temperature range is -4 to 140 °F (-20 to 60 °C).

What is the sensor made of?

The sensor material is a square flexible TPE disc, which is connected to white PVC insulation tinsel wire.

Does the sensor provide a stable signal?

Yes, the SleepSense Infant Piezo Beltless Effort Sensor is designed to provide a strong and stable effort signal. It utilizes a piezo-electric crystal to convert respiration motions into a small analog voltage, ensuring clear and reliable respiration waveforms.

Is the sensor specifically designed for infants?

Yes, this sensor is specifically engineered as a miniature, highly sensitive Piezo sensor optimized for detecting the small, high-frequency respiration movements characteristic of infants and preterm babies. It’s designed for professional medical monitoring in this specific patient group.
