Frequently asked questions
What does the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor measure?
The SleepSense PTFlow Sensor measures respiration flow by detecting temperature changes in inhaled and exhaled air, allowing for simultaneous thermal and pressure flow testing.
Is the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor compatible with all nasal cannulas?
Yes, the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor is designed to be compatible with any brand of adult nasal cannula.
How does the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor attach to a nasal cannula?
The sensor features a built-in hanger that allows it to attach easily to any adult nasal cannula.
What are the recommended high and low pass filter settings for the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor?
The recommended high pass filter setting is 0.1 Hz, and the recommended low pass filter setting is 70 Hz (or as recommended in the system’s instructions).
What are the operating temperature limits for the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor?
The SleepSense PTFlow Sensor is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from 40 to 104 °F.
What type of wire is used for the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor's cable?
The SleepSense PTFlow Sensor utilizes a white PVC insulation tinsel wire for its cable.
Is the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor intended for professional use?
Yes, the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor is intended for professional use only and should be sold by or on the order of a physician.
What is included with the PTFlow Sensor?
The SleepSense PTFlow Sensor (Model 1401-H) package includes the following items necessary for professional respiratory monitoring:
- Respiration flow sensor unit: This main unit measures both thermal and pressure flow.
- Connector cable: This cable features white PVC insulation tinsel wire and connects the sensor to your system’s thermal-flow input.
The sensor unit also features a specialized integrated hanger designed for comfortable attachment directly onto any brand of adult nasal cannula.
How does the sensor provide reliable airflow readings?
The SleepSense PTFlow Sensor is engineered to provide comprehensive and reliable respiratory data by utilizing specialized heat-sensitive elements.
This is how the device ensures accurate flow readings:
- Dual-Flow Measurement: The sensor simultaneously measures both thermal flow and pressure flow, offering complete respiratory assessment.
- Sensing Mechanism: Heat-sensitive elements, positioned beneath the patient’s nostrils, detect subtle temperature variations in the air during the breathing cycle.
- Signal Output: These temperature changes generate a clear, reliable analog electrical voltage signal that is directly proportional to the change, allowing clinicians to accurately monitor inhalation and exhalation.
Is the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor comfortable for patients?
Yes, the SleepSense PTFlow Sensor is specifically designed to promote patient comfort during monitoring.
It features an integrated hanger design that allows the sensor to hook directly over any brand of adult nasal cannula. This ensures secure, non-intrusive placement for accurate simultaneous testing of both thermal flow and pressure flow.
