Frequently asked questions
What is the SleepSense Semi-Reusable Inductive Kit - Alice 5 used for?
The SleepSense Semi-Reusable Inductive Kit - Alice 5 is designed for use with Alice 5 systems and includes inductive plethysmography belts and inductive interface cables. It provides accurate respiration waveforms, ensuring precision in sleep studies and respiratory monitoring.
What components are included in the kit?
The SleepSense Inductive Kit is a comprehensive set designed for use with Alice 5 systems. It includes all components needed for chest and abdomen respiration monitoring:
- Semi-Reusable Inductive Plethysmography Belt - Adult Large
- Semi-Reusable Inductive Plethysmography Belt - Adult XL
- Inductive Interface Cable (Abdomen) - Alice 5
- Inductive Interface Cable (Chest) - Alice 5
Are the inductive bands comfortable for patients?
Yes, the inductive plethysmography belts are specifically designed for superior patient comfort during sleep monitoring studies.Key comfort features include:* They are made from a high-quality, soft, and flexible material to minimize patient discomfort throughout the night.* The bands feature a generous width to help prevent shifting or sliding, maintaining measurement stability.* Velcro tabs are utilized for precise adjustment, allowing for a conforming and personalized fit.
Is this kit easy to integrate with existing Alice 5 systems?
Yes, the SleepSense Semi-Reusable Inductive Kit is designed as a plug-and-play replacement for Piezo effort sensors, making it easy to integrate with existing Alice 5 systems.
What filter settings are recommended for the cable?
The SleepSense inductive interface cables are engineered for accurate respiratory monitoring. To ensure optimal signal processing and accurate respiration waveform replication, the following filter settings are recommended:
- High Pass Filter: 0.1 Hz
- Low Pass Filter: 40 Hz
When configuring your system, always prioritize and follow the specific instructions and filter recommendations provided by your Alice 5 monitoring platform.
What are the operating conditions?
The SleepSense Semi-Reusable Inductive Kit operates under the following conditions:
- Temperature: 40 to 104 °F
- Humidity: 5 to 95% (non-condensing)
How do the inductive interface cables function with Alice 5?
The inductive interface cables are essential components that connect the inductive belts to the Alice 5 monitoring system. They are engineered for highly accurate respiration monitoring:
- Signal Conversion: The cables measure the inductance changes detected by the belts (which correlate directly to changes in the body’s cross-sectional area during breathing).
- Accurate Output: They contain internal electronics that instantly convert these inductance changes into a reliable AC signal for the system.
- Plug-and-Play: These cables serve as a direct, plug-and-play replacement for traditional Piezo effort sensors, ensuring accurate waveform replication compatible specifically with the Alice 5 platform.
Is this product intended for professional use?
This kit is intended for sale to or on the order of a physician only. It is specifically designed for professional use in sleep studies and respiratory monitoring contexts.
How does the inductive technology ensure accurate respiration waveforms?
The SleepSense kit utilizes Inductive Plethysmography (RIP) technology to ensure highly accurate and reliable replication of respiration waveforms.
This accuracy is achieved through a precise measurement system:
- Signal Proportionality: The inductive belts create a closed loop around the patient’s chest or abdomen. The electrical output (AC signal) generated by the bands is directly proportional to the changes in the loop’s cross-sectional area as the patient breathes.
- Interface Measurement: The dedicated Inductive Interface Cables contain specialized electronics that measure these inductance variations, generating an AC signal that accurately mirrors the patient’s breathing pattern.
This system provides a reliable, high-quality replacement for traditional Piezo effort sensors.
Are the included belts reusable?
The kit includes semi-reusable inductive plethysmography belts. This design offers a good balance between cost-effectiveness and maintaining hygiene standards.
