Portable Somnoscreen Sleep Monitoring System

Portable somnoscreen is a device used to diagnose the patients suffering from sleep disorders including serious sleep disorder, sleep apnea.

From three years, sleep laboratories have been using successfully the somnoscreen and are currently being used to diagnose and evaluate the patients.

Palm sized somnoscreen is the sleep monitoring system available today for performing sleep studies in any location.

Portable somnoscreen is smallest in size with full features. It is a complete portable polysomnograph with up to 28 channels, which provides unparalleled mobility for the patient and the sleep physician.

It transmits data wirelessly to the PC of sleep practitioner through the built-in transmitter where it can be monitored in real time or stored for later evaluation. It allows the patient to sleep normally and the patient is free to move and even go to toilet.

There is no need to be tied with wires and electrodes to the bed and therefore it reduces the incidence of panic attacks. The electrodes, cables and unit are all worn on the patient. The unit is fitted directly onto the thorax or abdomen.

It contains five internal sensors. The body position sensor determines the patient’s position. The internal effort sensor allows the user to define the thoracic or abdominal effort.

The light sensor determines the relevant measurement time. The external sensors are used to monitor nasal or oral flow, snoring sound and to measure the leg EMG.

The patient can be monitored without multiple cabling, with built in infrared light source and radio transmitter with the addition of digital video, audio and mobile option.

It is available in variety of configurations from a simple screener to a full sleep laboratory system with telemetry video. The software and hardware can be upgraded at any time with new developments.

Somnoscreen analysis:

• Snoring [Snoring Diagnosis]
• REM detection and REM density
• Periodic limb movement disorder detection.
• CPAP titration
• Apnea and hypopnea calculation
• Micro arousals
• Oxygen desaturation
• Body position
• EEG recording
• Calculation of the average frequency value
• Pulse transit time determines the systolic blood pressure
• Sleep staging analysis with sleep profile

The features of somnoscreen are the data can be recorded into DVD or CD, different reports are designed for different studies, easier for documentation and reporting, sleep profile and graphic results can be stored, and trend reports can be produced for comparing different tests on the same patient
