Description

The Piezo Film Effort Sensor Kit (# 1389-Kit) includes one sensor (# 1389) and two bands (L and XL), featuring a double loop design with safety DIN connectors. The sensor included in this kit uses a Piezo-electric plastic film (PVDF) to convert chest or abdominal respiration movement to a small analog voltage that provides a clear, reliable indication of respiration waveforms. The respiration effort sensor features safety DIN connectors and may be connected to any AC (low level) channel on the recorder.

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

Note: SleepSense items are for professional use only, and are for sale by or on the order of a physician only.

Frequently asked questions

Is the respiration monitoring reliable?

Yes, this sensor is engineered for highly reliable, professional physiological monitoring.

Key features ensuring accuracy include:

  • Piezo-electric Conversion: It utilizes PVDF (Piezo-electric plastic film) to accurately translate mechanical respiration effort (chest or abdomen movement) into a precise, low-level analog voltage signal.
  • Clear Output: The signal output is designed to be approximately 1 mV for normal respiration, allowing for clear visualization of respiration waveforms.
  • Secure Design: The double-loop design, combined with a durable 6” x 1.5” black elastic band, ensures secure and consistent contact throughout monitoring sessions.
  • Standard Connectivity: It connects via a 1.5 mm safety DIN, compatible with any AC (low level) channel on appropriate professional recording systems.
What is included in the SleepSense Piezo Double Loop Film Effort Sensor Kit?

The SleepSense Piezo Double Loop Film Effort Sensor Kit includes:

  • One sensor (#1389)
  • Two bands (L and XL)
How does the Piezo Film sensor monitor respiration?

The SleepSense sensor utilizes high-quality Piezo-electric plastic film (PVDF) technology to accurately monitor respiration effort. This process works by:

  1. Detecting Movement: The sensor detects mechanical respiration movement from the patient’s chest or abdomen.
  2. Signal Conversion: It converts this physical effort into a precise, low-level analog voltage signal.

This signal allows connected professional monitoring equipment to produce clear, readable respiration waveforms. For normal respiration, the sensor generates an output of approximately 1 mV.

What are the key professional applications for this sensor kit?

This sensor kit is engineered for professional physiological monitoring applications, focusing specifically on capturing and analyzing patient respiration waveforms.

Key applications include:

  • Sleep Labs: Used as an essential accessory in sleep studies (Polysomnography or PSG).
  • Clinical Respiratory Assessment: Employed in clinical setups to translate chest or abdominal movement into a precise, low-level analog voltage signal for recording.

Please note: This item is intended strictly for professional use and sale by or on the order of a physician.

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

The recommended filter settings for the SleepSense Piezo Film Effort Sensor Kit are:

  • High Pass Filter: 0.1 Hz
  • Low Pass Filter: 70 Hz
What professional safety connector does the sensor kit use?

The SleepSense Piezo Film Effort Sensor Kit utilizes a 1.5 mm DIN safety DIN system connector. This professional-grade connection is standardized to interface with any AC (low level) channel on compatible physiological recorders, ensuring secure and reliable signal transmission during monitoring.

What are the sensor cable's length and insulation?

The lead wire connected to the SleepSense Piezo Effort Sensor is 200 cm long. The cable features robust white PVC insulation to protect the line and maintain optimal signal integrity during monitoring.

What are the operating and storage temperature and humidity ranges for this sensor?

The SleepSense Piezo Film Effort Sensor Kit operates under the following conditions:

  • Operating Temperature: 40 to 104 °F
  • Storage Temperature: -4 to 140 °F
  • Operating and Storage Humidity: 5 to 95% (non-condensing)
What is the signal output of the sensor during normal respiration?

The signal output is approximately 1 mV for normal respiration.
