7 Simple Steps

01

Install the Batteries

Make sure the + sign on each battery aligns with the + sign in the compartment.

The batteries are included in the packing envelope.

02

Place the Belt Around Your Chest

Place the belt around your chest with the device resting on your chest.

For women, placing the belt above the breasts rather than over or below them may be more comfortable.

03

Place the Nasal Cannula

Place the nasal cannula under your nose. Place the two prongs face down at the entrance to your nostrils. Loop the cannula over your ears and tighten it under your chin to a comfortable snugness. Plug the other end of the cannula into the device, turning clockwise to tighten.

If you're an active sleeper, secure the cannula to your cheeks using the medical tape supplied.

04

Place the Finger Probe

Place the finger probe onto your index finger of either hand. The line or wire on the finger cap goes on top of your finger. Secure the line to the back of your wrist using the medical tape supplied. In the middle of the line there is a recorder partially made of purple plastic. Clip the recorder over the belt.

The system is now fully assembled.

05

Start the Device

Start the device by pressing the on-off button in the middle of the device for 2 seconds. The central light will turn green, and after a few seconds the 3 lights in the corners will turn green also. If any light blinks red, check the connections.

Once all lights are green, you can go to sleep as you normally do.

06

Turn Off in the Morning

In the morning, turn off the device by pressing the on-off button for 3 seconds. The central light will turn off. If the "test complete" light turns green, you have successfully completed the test.

If the light is red, call Advanced Sleep Medicine Services at (877) 775-3377 and we will help you troubleshoot.

07

Return the Device

Return the device using the prepaid envelope. Put the device into the envelope and seal it. Drop the sealed prepaid envelope into the parcel slot at your local post office.

Please return the device the morning after your test so we can process your results as quickly as possible.

常见问题

ApneaLink Air FAQ

What if a sensor falls off during the night?
If you wake up and find it off, it's okay — simply reattach it and go back to sleep. The device records data whenever the sensor is properly in place. In the morning, the device will show either green (for a successful test) or red (further analysis is needed).
What if the light is red in the morning?
If you felt like you slept more than four hours during the night, and the sensors remained in place, return the device to us even if the light is red. Our technicians will review the data for completeness and process the test if we have enough data for an accurate analysis. If you feel like you slept less than 4 hours, or if the sensors disconnected during the night, please call us at (877) 775-3377.
Do I need a prescription or physician referral?
是的。所有居家睡眠测试都需要医生处方。如果您的医生已将您转诊至我们这里,我们将负责后续事宜。如有任何疑问,请致电 (877) 775-3377。.
如果我夜里想上厕所怎么办?
Leave the device and sensors attached, and go to the bathroom. You can move about with the device attached. The device will recognize when you return to bed and fall asleep.
Can I take the test if I have a cold or nasal congestion?
It's best to reschedule if you have significant nasal congestion, as this can affect the nasal airflow sensor readings. Call us to reschedule at no charge.
我如何获取我的成绩?
我们会将结果发送给您的医生。您的医生会与您讨论结果和后续治疗方案。.
多久才能出结果?
We usually send the results to your doctor within 2 weeks of you completing the test.
