SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Kit

Yes, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Kit (# 1450-Kit) is designed for broad compatibility and integrates seamlessly with numerous major Polysomnography (PSG) systems. The kit includes the Sensor (# 1450S) and a dedicated Interface Box (# 1450B) to ensure versatile setup.

It is explicitly compatible with systems from manufacturers including:

• CareFusion (e.g., SensorMedics Viasys, SomnoStar z4)
• Cadwell (e.g., Easy III)
• CompuMedics (e.g., Grael HD PSG, Somte)
• Natus (e.g., Sandman 32, Xltek, Biologic, Grass)
• Nihon Kohden (e.g., Polysmith)
• NeuroVirtual (e.g., BWII PSG)

For connectivity, you can utilize your PSG system’s dedicated thermal-flow input, or use the included Interface Box to connect to any standard low-level AC channel on your recording equipment.

The SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Kit (# 1450-Kit) is a comprehensive package for accurate respiratory monitoring. It includes two key components:

• Thermistor Flow Sensor (# 1450S): This sensor utilizes four heat-sensitive elements to accurately measure temperature changes in inhaled and exhaled air, producing a strong, reliable analog voltage signal.
• Thermistor Flow Sensor Interface Box with Safety DIN Connectors (# 1450B): The interface box is included to manage power and connectivity, allowing the sensor to integrate smoothly with your PSG system via the thermal-flow input or a low-level AC channel.

Yes, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Kit is engineered for highly accurate respiration monitoring, which is essential for professional sleep studies.

How Accuracy is Achieved

The Thermistor Flow Sensor (# 1450S) ensures reliable data by utilizing four integrated heat-sensitive elements. These elements work by measuring minute temperature changes in inhaled and exhaled air.

This thermal measurement translates directly into a clear, reliable analog electrical voltage signal that is precisely proportional to the patient’s airflow dynamics.

Yes, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Kit is designed for ease of use and cleaning, streamlining your workflow and saving valuable time.

The sensor can be powered either by the interface box or directly by your PSG system, offering flexibility in setup and usage.

The SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Kit provides an accurate respiration signal by measuring the thermal differences in the patient’s breath.

Here is how the accurate measurement is achieved:

• Detection Mechanism: The flow sensor is equipped with four heat-sensitive elements that continuously monitor minute temperature variations.
• Thermal Differential: These elements detect the difference between cooler inhaled air and warmer exhaled air, correlating these changes directly to the presence and pattern of respiration airflow.
• Signal Output: This thermal monitoring generates a precise, reliable analog electrical voltage signal, which is proportional to the temperature fluctuations, providing a clear indication of airflow dynamics to the connected PSG system.

The kit is designed for professional use only and should be used by or on the order of a physician.

The SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor is specifically designed using four heat-sensitive elements. This configuration enables the sensor, when placed under the patient’s nostrils, to accurately measure the temperature changes of inhaled and exhaled air, generating a clear and reliable respiration airflow signal.

Yes, the SleepSense Thermistor Flow Sensor Kit is a factory new product, ensuring you receive a pristine and un-used device for your professional needs.
