SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor

The SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor is specifically designed for infants and preemies, ensuring accurate respiration flow sensing for this delicate population.

Yes, the SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor is specifically engineered to generate a strong, clear signal even when detecting weaker respiratory flow, making it ideal for monitoring infants and preemies.

This high-quality output is achieved using three miniature thermocouple elements which are highly heat-sensitive. These elements react to temperature differentials created by the nasal airflow, ensuring a robust signal that is suitable for connection to any AC low-level input channel on a compatible recording system.

Yes, the SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor is specialized and miniature, which is crucial for optimizing accurate flow sensing in neonates and premature infants.

Key benefits of the miniature design include:

• High-Quality Signal Output: The sensor utilizes three miniature thermocouple elements that are highly sensitive to slight temperature differentials caused by weak airflow. This generates a strong, clear signal suitable for compatible AC (low level) recording systems.
• Precise Placement: The small, specialized design allows for accurate application on the infant’s bridge of the nose, ensuring the heat-sensitive elements are positioned precisely under the nostrils for reliable nasal flow only monitoring.

The SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor utilizes three miniature thermocouple elements.

This miniature design is crucial for high-quality respiration flow sensing in infants and preemies. The small size and specialized placement of these elements ensure they produce:

• A strong and clear signal output.
• The ability to register airflow even from weak respiration.

Yes, the SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor is intended exclusively for professional medical use.

This is a highly specialized device optimized for monitoring nasal respiration flow in infants and premature infants (preemies). Due to its professional classification, the product is restricted:

• It is only available by or on the order of a physician.
• It is ideally suited for use in professional healthcare settings, such as neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and pediatric sleep studies.

Yes, the SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor utilizes three miniature thermocouple elements to ensure reliable and sensitive detection. These elements are highly specialized for infants and preemies.

• Detection Method: The heat-sensitive elements react to temperature differentials created by nasal airflow.
• Signal Quality: This process generates a strong, clear signal, even with weaker flow, making it suitable for connection to any compatible recording system that accepts an AC (low level) input channel.

The SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor is specialized for highly accurate nasal flow sensing in infants and premature babies. Precise application is essential for the three miniature thermocouple elements to capture subtle temperature changes from respiration effectively.

Sensor Placement Instructions:

1. The main adhesive body of the sensor is secured to the infant’s forehead.
2. The protruding, heat-sensitive element must be folded or positioned so that the sensors rest directly beneath the infant’s nostrils.

This placement allows the sensor to generate a strong and clear signal, even when monitoring very weak respiratory flows.

This sensor is compatible with any system that accepts 1.5 mm DIN safety connectors, offering broad compatibility with existing monitoring equipment.

The SleepSense Infant Thermal Flow Sensor is engineered for reliable performance across specific environmental ranges:

• Operating Temperature: The sensor functions optimally between 40 °F and 104 °F.
• Storage Temperature: The recommended temperature range for safe storage is from -4 °F up to 140 °F.
• Humidity: Both operating and storage conditions require a relative humidity between 5% and 95% (non-condensing).
