Frequently asked questions
What is the primary function of the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor?
The SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor is designed to provide a reliable flow signal when used with the 1450B Interface Box, primarily for professional sleep studies.
Is the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor compatible with all polysomnography systems?
No, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor is specifically compatible with Natus Embla N7000 and Embla S4500 products.
What filter settings ensure optimal sensor performance?
The recommended filter settings for this sensor are a High Pass setting of 0.1 Hz and a Low Pass setting of 70 Hz. Always consult the specific system instructions for any alternative recommendations.
Does the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor come with the 1450B Interface Box?
No, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor requires the 1450B Interface Box, which must be purchased separately.
What is the operating temperature range for the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor?
The operating temperature range for the sensor is 40 to 104 °F.
What is the storage temperature range for the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor?
The storage temperature range for the sensor is -4 to 140 °F.
What is the signal output of the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor?
The signal output is approximately 1 mV for normal respiration when used with the interface box.
Is this product intended for home use, or is it strictly for professional medical settings?
The SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor is intended for professional use only and should be purchased under the order of a physician.
What is the key benefit of the high thermal mass in the sensor's design?
The high thermal mass improves the voltage/flow linearity, leading to more accurate readings.
What is the specialized sensor center design?
The SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor features a proprietary design built for professional medical use. The center element includes:
- A small, rounded TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) core.
- Three prongs for electrical conductivity.
- A distinctive keyhole connector for secure interfacing with the 1450B Interface Box (required for operation, sold separately).
This design utilizes a high thermal mass to enhance voltage/flow linearity, providing a robust and reliable flow signal.
