Frequently asked questions
Is the SleepSense sensor broadly compatible?
Yes, the SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor offers broad compatibility with major polysomnography (PSG) systems. It integrates seamlessly with equipment from leading brands, including:
- Cadwell
- CareFusion
- CompuMedics
- Natus
- NeuroVirtual
- Nihon Kohden
This ensures the sensor can be used in a variety of professional sleep labs or home sleep disorder study setups for both adult and pediatric patients.
How is the SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor attached to the patient?
The SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor has a gray silicone cover with a Velcro hook back, designed for secure and comfortable placement on either the wrist or ankle.
Is the sensor suitable for professional in-home studies?
Yes, the SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor is versatile and designed for use in various professional settings, including both clinical sleep laboratories and in-home sleep disorder studies (PSG). It securely attaches to the wrist or ankle for accurate movement monitoring during these procedures.
Important Note: This is a professional medical-grade device. Its sale and usage are restricted exclusively to or on the order of a physician for diagnostic purposes.
Does this sensor require specific cleaning protocols?
Yes, to ensure the longevity of the device and maintain hygiene, please refer to the specific “SleepSense Additional Info Regarding Cleaning Agents” documentation provided by the manufacturer. Following these guidelines ensures that you are using compatible cleaning agents that won’t compromise the silicone housing or the internal Piezo film element.
What are the optimal operating temperatures for this sensor?
The SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor is designed for reliable performance across a range of conditions:
- Operating Temperature: It functions optimally within a temperature range of 40 to 104 °F (5 to 40 °C).
- Storage Temperature: For storage, it can withstand temperatures from -4 to 140 °F (-20 to 60 °C).
Both operating and storage humidity can range from 5 to 95% (non-condensing).
How does the SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor help in sleep disorder studies?
The SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor translates limb movements into analog voltage signals, which can then be recorded by a polysomnography (PSG) unit. This provides valuable data for diagnosing and understanding sleep disorders related to limb movement.
How does the sensor accurately detect limb movements?
The SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor accurately detects limb movements using an internal Piezo film element. This advanced element reliably converts even small movements into an analog voltage, providing precise data for sleep studies.
Is the sensor easy to set up for use?
Yes, the SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor is designed for easy application. You simply place it on the wrist or ankle, and its Velcro hook backing ensures a secure and comfortable fit.
Does it provide a clear signal output?
Yes, the sensor utilizes a Piezo film element to convert physical movement into a proportional, low-level analog voltage signal. It generates approximately 1 mV for small movements, ensuring a reliable and clear indication of limb activity during sleep studies.
Is the sensor constructed for long-term durability?
Yes, the SleepSense Limb Movement Sensor is engineered for reliable, professional use. It features a robust, gray silicone housing that protects the internal Piezo film element during frequent clinical applications. The sensor is built specifically to withstand the demands of professional sleep laboratories and supervised home sleep studies.
