Features
Auto-scored and editable
full-disclosure signals with
forehead-based, simple-to-
use self-application, guided
by voice messages. Ideal
for multi-night evaluation
of sleep architecture and
sleep continuity in the home
or hospital, with automated
detection of sleep biomark-
ers associated with neuro-
degeneration. PSG2 upgrade
enables automated detection
of apneas, hypopneas and
RERAs, and REM-related
SDB severity. Cloud or
desktop-based software with
data download in seconds
via USB.
MediByte is designed for pa-
tient ease of use and may be
used with a local PC or with
the BridgeBuilder Cloud Portal
Program, which empowers
cooperation between health-
care disciplines. Ask about
the SuperGroup program. SDB
analysis including RERA, flow
limitation, breath statistics,
SpO2 perfusion, carrying case,
patient instructional video, USB
cable. CPAP compatible, multiple
nights, immediate report access,
unlimited custom reports, lock-
ing connectors, stainless steel
connector, LED study status
indicator, all internal biosensors,
complies with guidelines.
SleepView is a small, light-
weight, AASM-compliant HST
monitor designed to be easy
for patients to use. The “Smart
Check” feature indicates if
a good study was recorded
by lighting green or red.
SleepView uses a RIP belt,
is CPAP compatible, and can
collect multi-night studies.
The optional ID check sensor
can verify patient identity. The
HIPAA compliant web portal of-
fers access to studies, scoring,
and reports, while facilitating
collaboration between sleep
labs and office-based physi-
cians, including IT manage-
ment and data archival.
Carrying case included,
will deliver results while
patient is on CPAP, includes
video instruction for patient,
24/7 technical support, and
analysis, scoring, and re-
porting software. Designed
for basic HST workflow with
automated respiratory event
analysis and customized
reporting. Supports both
nasal pressure and thermis-
tor airflow signals.
Designed for clinical and
research use, the Zmachine
Insight provides accurate
EEG-based sleep staging
information in a device that is
easy-to-operate, unobtrusive,
and very patient-friendly. The
Zmachine Insight uses self-
stick EEG sensors located com-
pletely outside of the hairline
for easy self-application and
comfortable sleep. Sleep stag-
ing results and raw EEG signals
are stored locally on a remov-
able microSD memory card and
can be imported directly into a
spreadsheet, statistical pack-
age, or Zmachine Data Viewer
software.
Zmachine Synergy combines
General Sleep’s proven single-
channel EEG sleep staging tech-
nology with airflow, effort, pulse
oximetry, snore, and tri-axis body
position to report an AHI based on
EEG-derived sleep time and body
position (not simply recording
time). Designed for comfort, ease
of use, and reliable results, the
Zmachine Synergy has one-touch
controls and an intuitive multi-
color LED interface for first night
success.
An easy to use wrist-worn
device designed to provide com-
fort, reliability, and outstand-
ing patient compliance. Fully
automated analysis includes
complete sleep architecture and
total sleep time measurement.
Proprietary tamper-proof brace-
let for optional ID verification.
Using the advanced PAT-based
technology, WatchPAT offers
diagnostic efficacy alongside
substantial clinical and opera-
tional benefits.
Scalable up to Type I (ambulatory
or online) Bluetooth device with
add-ons; auto start option; high
resolution screen including signal
display, signal test features (includ-
ing impedance measurement) and
status information; sound recording
with snap-on-cannula microphone,
wide sensor range available (dis-
posable and reusable); comes with
nonlicensed version of RemLogic
(globally largest install base for
HSAT); 24/7 technical support.
Connects to computers via USB
port, connects to computer via
serial port, will deliver results
while patient is on CPAP, includes
video instruction for patient, wire-
less, 24/7 technical support, and
analysis, scoring, and reporting
software.
Carrying case included, one click
upload and analysis via USB port,
wireless, CPAP compatible record-
ings, analysis, scoring, and reporting
software, and hook-up instructions
for the patient. Audio recording from
a built-in microphone for improved
snoring detection and frequency
analysis, SpO2, pulse and plethys-
mography from a wireless Bluetooth
oximeter.
