SISSEL
EVERYONE DESERVES A SISSEL
Congratulations on your SISSEL
belong to a growing number of users worldwide benefiting
from a significant reduction of snoring and enjoying a
peaceful and restful sleep from now on. SISSEL
was designed to enable snorers and their partners to have a
quiet and deep night's sleep. Please read through these in-
structions carefully before initial use to understand the func-
tions, effects and benefits of the SISSEL
EFFECTS OF THE SISSEL
®
SISSEL SILENCIUM continuously records the sleeping sounds and
your head position on the pillow. It turns your head independently,
quietly and gently to the side when a snoring is detected. Turning
of the head increases the gap between the tongue and throat and
thus opens the airways and reduces snoring. If no positive effect is
achieved with the first movement, the SISSEL
turns the head step by step: to the left or right, up and down until
the snoring stops or the ideal position is found in which the snoring
is reduced the most.
By using custom PC software (the control unit can be connected to
a PC via USB connector), users can easily record and analyze the
snoring behavior. (Free download at www.sisselsilencium.com)

GENERAL COMMENT

condition. Alcohol consumption, eating habits, colds, stress, me-
dication and the physical/mental condition may additionally in-
fluence snoring habits, intensity and duration as well as your
individual body mass index (BMI). Please take this into conside-
ration.

apnea. In this case, please consult your doctor.

COMPOSITION/COMPONENTS OF THE SISSEL
4
®
SISSEL SILENCIUM provides several functions. It is a height-ad-
justable orthopedic neck pillow (SISSEL
less neck support function) made of high-quality polyurethane
foam with a visco-elastic surface (4) for utmost comfort and a
flexible Vario pad (1) to adjust the pillow height.
The embedded air chambers (2) inside the pillow gently guide
your head in the desired position a soon as a snoring sound oc-
curs. The sensor plate (3) registers the head position. For the pro-
tection of the microphones (5), the pillow has an air-permeable,
moisture-repellent inner protective cover. On top comes the skin-
friendly, washable pillowcase.
GETTING USED TO THE SISSEL
Users might require some time (min. 7 to 14 days) to adjust to
the special product features of the SISSEL
changing of head position) and its orthopedic shape with neck
support function. For easier adjustment, the Vario pad can be re-
moved. Depending on the positioning of the control unit (distance
to the head), some sound may initially be registered upon acti-
vation of the air chambers. We therefore recommend to place
the control unit in the supplied case and as far away from the
head as possible under the bed (or in the bedside drawer) – if
necessary, additionally wrapped in a towel. Once accustomed to
the pillow, users will usually not perceive these sounds as distur-
bing anymore.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
®
SISSEL SILENCIUM operates with safe low-voltage (power sup-
ply: 6 V) and, due to its classification as a medical device class
I (rule 12), is also suitable for use in hospitals, rehab etc. This
voltage is comparable to a clock radio and lower than the vol-
tage of an electric blanket. Using a DC adapter, the SISSEL
