Frequently asked questions
Does this require the 1450B Interface Box?
Yes, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Key Connector is specifically engineered to integrate with the SleepSense 1450B Interface Box.
This connection is essential for the sensor to function correctly and generate a flow signal. The interface ensures:
- A strong and reliable flow signal is produced.
- Improved voltage/flow linearity, thanks to the high thermal mass sensor design.
Does the high thermal mass enhance signal accuracy?
Yes, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor is specifically engineered for enhanced accuracy and signal quality.
This is achieved through its construction, which utilizes a high thermal mass (a small rounded TPE center with three prongs). This key feature significantly improves the voltage/flow linearity of the sensor system, ensuring you receive a robust and dependable flow signal when paired with the 1450B Interface Box.
Does the sensor include a connector and hanger?
Yes, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor is designed for convenient integration and secure placement during professional use. It includes two primary features that simplify setup:
- Keyhole Connector: Provides a precise and reliable connection to the required 1450B Interface Box.
- Integrated Hanger: Allows for quick, stable placement and mounting during sleep study monitoring.
What are the operating and storage temperature limits?
The SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor is designed to operate reliably within specific environmental parameters. Strict adherence to these conditions ensures consistent and accurate signal generation.
| Condition | Temperature Range | Humidity Range |
|---|---|---|
| Operating | 40 to 104 °F | 5 to 95% (Non-condensing) |
| Storage | -4 to 140 °F | 5 to 95% (Non-condensing) |
Is a physician's order required for purchase?
Yes, this device is strictly intended for professional use only.
Due to this restriction, the sale of the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Key Connector is permitted only by or on the order of a licensed physician.
What is the signal output for normal respiration?
When used with the required interface box, the sensor is engineered to produce approximately 1 mV for normal respiration. This ensures a robust and reliable flow signal for professional monitoring procedures.
What are the recommended filter settings for the sensor?
To ensure optimal signal clarity and accuracy when using this sensor with the 1450B Interface Box, the manufacturer recommends the following filter settings:
- High Pass Filter: 0.1 Hz
- Low Pass Filter: 70 Hz (or as per your system’s instructions)
What items are included with the flow sensor?
The SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Key Connector is shipped as a complete, factory-new unit (MPN: 1450S-H) designed for professional respiratory monitoring. The sensor features a high thermal mass to improve voltage/flow linearity, ensuring a strong and reliable signal when used with the required 1450B Interface Box.
