Portables polysomnographs
What is a portable polysomnography ?
Polysomnography is a non-invasive examination used to diagnose various sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, insomnia or narcolepsy. More comprehensive than ventilatory polygraphy, it simultaneously records several physiological parameters over the course of a night, which is why it is often performed in laboratories or sleep clinics, although home recording is also possible. The equipment includes :
- Sensors used in ventilatory polygraphy (a nasal cannula, an oximeter, two inductive straps, a brightness sensor, a positioning sensor, a movement sensor, and our PneaVoX sensor).
- Electroencephalograms (EEG) to measure brain activity.
- Electro-oculograms (EOG) to measure eye activity.
- Electromyograms (EMG) to measure muscle activity (chin and legs).
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure muscle activity.
In addition to detecting respiratory abnormalities during sleep, this examination enables us to analyze the different stages of sleep, nocturnal micro-awakenings, movements and cardiac abnormalities. It thus provides elements for diagnosing other disorders, such as pathologies linked to sleep architecture or motor disorders.
CID-LXe
This portable polysomnograph is capable of recording all the parameters of a ventilatory polygraph and 8 electrophysiological signals for complete sleep analysis (in line with AASM and French RPC recommendations).
An additional pressure channel is also available for connecting a pneumotachograph when the patient is treated with cPAP, biPAP, etc
It is compact, lightweight and completely self-contained. The battery can store up to 12 hours of recording in its internal memory.
