Alice NightOne at-home sleep study – PSG

Your clinician might suggest you would benefit from a Sleep Study (Polysomnography assessment or PSG), maybe because they suspect you have:

• Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)
• Narcolepsy
• Unusual behaviour during sleep
• Heavy breathing or snoring during sleep
• Unexplained insomnia 

This test monitors your sleep cycle and identify disruptions in your sleep patterns in order to confirm and diagnose sleep disorders.  Polysomnography records your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, heart rate and breathing and is a non-invasive test.  

 

Enhanced Good Study Indicator

The Enhanced Good Study Indicator feature allows you to know how much good quality data has been gathered before the device is returned to the lab.  Flow, effort and Sp02 signal quality is monitored throughout the night.  In the morning, the User Button is depressed and the GSI visually displays the amount of good quality data in 25% increments.  If a problem with a sensor significantly hinders the collection of good data, this is also recorded. 

Auto-on recording starts as soon as the belt is buckled

The “Auto-on” feature turns on the device as soon as the RIP belt is clicked in place; no need for patients to push a ‘start button’.  The integrated connection eliminates the needs for an external effort wire set.  

Smart guide setup walks you through sensor placement

The Alice NightOne Smart Guide Setup displays illuminated sensor indicators that walks the patient through sensor placement one by one. The indicators will change from yellow to green when a good quality signal is detected. The device uses the same sensors recommended by the AASM for in-lab studies. The device has 3 sensors (effort belt, cannula and oximeter) and a built-in body position sensor that provide seven channels of data (body position, pressure flow, snore, respiratory effort, SpO2, pleth and pulse rate).
