Description

The SleepSense Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belt (2 per Pack) is approximately 60 cm in length and designed for use on child patients.

Warranty: 60 Days - Free of Defects in Materials and Quality Workmanship.

The semi-reusable Inductive Belt is made of soft, stretchy material. Hook and loop tabs on the belt attach anywhere on the belt itself, making adjustments very easy and keeping the profile slim and comfortable. The belt has a low cost per use, is easy to clean, and is made to last roughly 70 uses before needing replacement (however some labs have reported much longer usage).

SleepSense Inductive Belts are designed to work with SleepSense Inductive Interface Cables. When used together, the inductance of the inductive belts is exactly proportional to the cross section of the belt's closed loop around the body; it therefore changes as the patient breathes. The electronics in the system or interface box measure these inductance changes to generate a signal that is the most accurate and reliable replication of respiration waveforms. Inductive belts easily connect to any PSG system compatible with inductive effort sensors through a dedicated SleepSense Cable.

The Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belt is compatible with the following products from these medical brands:

  • Cadwell: ApneaTrak, Easy III, Easy Ambulatory PSG.
  • CareFusion: QDC Pro, SensorMedics Viasys, SomnoStar z4.

Frequently asked questions

Is the belt compatible with major PSG systems?

Yes, this pediatric inductive belt offers broad compatibility with Polysomnography (PSG) systems that support inductive effort sensors. This makes it suitable for use in various sleep labs.

However, the belt requires dedicated SleepSense Inductive Interface Cables (sold separately) to connect and function properly with the monitoring equipment.

It is designed to work seamlessly with major PSG system brands, including:

  • Cadwell
  • CareFusion
  • Natus
  • Philips Respironics
What companion product is required?

The SleepSense Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belt requires the use of SleepSense Inductive Interface Cables to function correctly. This is a critical component for respiration monitoring.

These cables are essential because:

  • They connect the semi-reusable belt to any Polysomnography (PSG) system compatible with inductive effort sensors.
  • They ensure the accurate transmission of the signal generated by the belt (inductance changes) to replicate reliable respiration waveforms.
How many belts are included?

The SleepSense Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belt is sold in a 2-pack configuration.

Each package contains two (2) belts, which offers significant utility for clinical use, including providing a backup sensor and supporting continuous monitoring needs. Furthermore, since each belt is semi-reusable and rated for approximately 70 uses, this configuration helps achieve a low cost per use.

Does this belt provide accurate respiration monitoring?

The SleepSense Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belt is designed for accurate and reliable respiration monitoring in child patients. When used with SleepSense Inductive Interface Cables, it precisely measures inductance changes, providing an accurate replication of respiration waveforms.

Is the belt comfortable and easily adjustable?

Yes, the SleepSense pediatric belt is designed for optimal comfort and fit during monitoring.

  • Soft and Stretchy Material: The belt is constructed from a soft, flexible material that conforms comfortably to the child’s anatomy and minimizes interference during sleep.
  • Easy Adjustment: It features hook and loop tabs that can attach anywhere along the belt, enabling quick, precise, and slim-profile adjustments.
  • Pediatric Sizing: The belt is approximately 60 cm in length, sized specifically for child patients.
How many uses are the belts rated for?

The SleepSense Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belts are semi-reusable sensors.

Each belt is rated for approximately 70 uses, offering high utility and a low cost per use in clinical settings. They are also designed to be easy to clean between applications.

Is the pediatric belt comfortable and adjustable?

Yes, the SleepSense Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belt is designed for optimal comfort and fit for child patients during sleep studies. Its features are engineered to ensure patient tolerance and ease of use:

  • Soft, Stretchy Material: The belt is constructed from a comfortable, soft, and stretchy material to maximize patient tolerance during extended wear.
  • Easy Adjustability: It features highly versatile hook and loop tabs that can attach anywhere along the belt’s approximately 60 cm length, allowing for simple, precise, and comfortable adjustments.
  • Slim Profile: The adjustable closure system helps maintain a low, non-bulky profile, minimizing disturbance to the sleeping child.
  • Pediatric Sizing: The 60 cm length is specifically engineered to fit pediatric anatomy.
How does the inductive belt measure respiration?

The SleepSense Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belt uses the advanced Inductive Plethysmography mechanism to accurately monitor respiratory effort in child patients.

This technology relies on inductance changes proportional to the patient’s cross-section during breathing. The mechanism works as follows:

  • The flexible belt creates a closed loop around the patient’s chest or abdomen.
  • As the patient breathes, the change in circumference causes a proportional change in the belt’s electrical inductance.
  • This change is precisely measured by connected electronics.

This allows the system to generate a highly reliable and accurate replication of the respiration waveform. Note that the belt requires specific SleepSense Inductive Interface Cables to connect to any compatible Polysomnography (PSG) system.

How is the belt adjusted for a comfortable fit?

The SleepSense Pediatric Inductive Plethysmography Belt is designed for optimal comfort and ease of use in pediatric monitoring:

  • It is constructed from a soft, stretchy material that minimizes patient disturbance.
  • Adjustment is made simple using hook and loop tabs that can attach anywhere along the belt’s approximately 60 cm length.
  • This mechanism ensures a slim, customized, and comfortable fit for child patients during polysomnography studies.
Are these belts durable for repeated use?

Yes, these belts are designed for durability and are semi-reusable, with an expected lifespan of approximately 70 uses. This offers a low cost per use for efficient pediatric respiratory monitoring.
