Cadwell Sleepmate Manual De Instrucciones página 3

Intended use
The Cadwell Sleepmate AC pressure airflow sensor is to detect respiratory airflow and/or
™
snoring for recording onto a polygraph, EEG or similar type of physiological recorder. The
sensor plugs directly into the electrode jack box; no external power source is required. A
nasal cannula is attached to the patient.
Instructions for use
Attach either an ETCO or standard O cannula to the sensor and to the patient to detect the
2 2
airflow. The airflow sensed through the nose will then provide both a nasal airflow signal and
snore signal. There are two sets of cables for connection to the recorder. One is for the
airflow channel and one is for the snore channel. The two black connectors are connected
internally in the sensor. The sensor can be connected to a nasal CPAP mask using standard
respiratory tubing instead of using a cannula. When connecting an O
always use the Luer connector to connect to the sensor box. The ETCO
®
connected directly to the sensor box. The recorder's High Pass filter should be set at the
lowest possible setting in order to maximize the time constant.
Ensure the sensor is securely attached to the patient as described and you have clear, reliable
signals prior to lights out.
Cleaning
This sensor is reusable and can be cleaned by rubbing with any cleansing agent that is not
corrosive to plastic. The cannula used is disposable and should be changed between patients.
For sterilization implement a standard procedure for gas sterilization. Do not autoclave this
product. Use the molded ends of the jackpins when removing the connector from the
junction box.
