The SLP OxSAT 100 Patient Oximeter Module is indicated for use in measuring and transmitting functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate, and plethysmographic data to a compatible PSG and/or HST device. It is not intended for use with low perfused patients.

The SLP OxSAT 100 is a pulse oximeter module that photoelectrically determines the oxygenation of blood in a part of the body, based upon the sensor placement. The OxSAT 100 contains the electronics to interface to an attached sensor. The red and infrared light are transmitted through oxyhemoglobin and are sensed in the photoelectric cell. The red and infrared light is absorbed in different amounts depending on the oxygenation of the blood. The OxSAT 100 has the ability to determine both the percent of saturated hemoglobin and the pulse rate. It performs these functions on adult and pediatric patient populations. It is designed for measuring and transmitting functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), Pulse rate and plethysmographic data to compatible polysomnogram ("PSG") and/or home sleep testing ("HST") devices. Pulse amplitude is not displayed. The OxSAT 100 is powered by the host monitor. The wavelength of red LED is 660nm and Infrared LED is 910 nm with maximum optical output power of less than 1 mW. The OxSAT 100 Module is not intended for use with skin contact and, therefore, has not been tested for biocompatibility. The OxSAT 100 is either attached to the outside of a belt on the patient or is set off to the side of the bed. An extension cable might be used with the sensors to avoid skin contact.

The RMX is a physiological data recorder intended to collect and record data from multiple physiological channels and additional auxiliary inputs from undesignated channels. It is indicated for use by or on order of a physician. The RMX is intended for use in a supervised (hospital) or unsupervised (home) environment.

The RMX is an ambulatory unattended recording device intended for the recording of sleep physiological data. The RMX functions exclusively as a data-recording device and is not intended to monitor Apnea or other vital signs in an intensive care unit or any other real time application. It is used by or on the order of a physician. The RMX data recording device offers a platform for collecting multiple channels of physiological signals such as pulse rate, ECG, EEG, airflow, thoracic and abdominal respiratory effort, sounds intensity (i.e. noise due to snoring), body position and movements, leg movement, pulse oximetry or similar physiological signals. The data collection box is normally attached over the clothes of the patient's chest using the chest inductive effort sensor band made of clothing-standard woven elastic laces. The device may use its internal sensors, standard wired physiological sensors or several wireless sensors (not covered in this application) to match the specific needs of the patient. Data collected is transferred on an SD memory card from the recorder to a PC at the physician's clinic, where it is converted into industry standard EDF format, after which it is analyzed by standard scoring software to generate a detailed final report with recommendations. The RMX data recording device includes 3 software elements; 1) the SETUP part that runs on a PC and uploads the recorder setup parameters to the SD (secure digital) card as determined by the physician, 2) The Firmware operating the main and auxiliary CPU hardware which control the A/D conversion and storage of the data, and 3) the Post-Study Software which runs on a PC, reads the raw data file from the SD card as a single file and converts it into the industry standard EDF format suitable for input to analytical systems (see section 16 for software description).

SleepSense sensors provide a qualitative measure of a patient's physiological parameters for recording onto an FDA-cleared data acquisition system. Their target population: Children and adult patients who are screened during sleep disorder studies. Their environment of use is usually at a sleep laboratory or sometimes at the patient's home.

Monitoring various physiological parameters is standard practice in sleep disorder testing. Standard overnight recordings show, among others, traces of parameters like respiration movement, leg and arm movement, snoring sounds, respiration airflow and body position during sleep. In order to record tracings showing these parameters, sensors are needed to convert the physiological parameter into an electrical signal. These sensors are very simple sensing elements like piezo-crystals that convert mechanical force or vibrations to an electrical signal. Other sensing elements may be thermocouples which generate a signal proportional to temperature, or gravity switches, that switch and electrical circuit on and off depending on their position. In practice, these sensing elements are packaged in small, patient-friendly enclosures which are applied to the patient, and connected to the recording system via a long and flexible cable. There is no electrical contact of any kind between the sensors and the patient. All signals received from the sensors are qualitative, and are only used to record the dynamic nature or existence of the physiological parameter recorded. A specially trained sleep technician called "scorer" reviews the overall recording in the morning following the study. The signals recorded, together with additional channels like EKG or EEG, are analyzed to arrive at a diagnosis of a sleep disorder like sleep apnea or insomnia.

The BiteStrip is generally indicated for use by orofacial pain professionals or dentists, to aid in the evaluation and management of nocturnal masticatory muscles activity disorders, which may be related to the patient's bruxism. temporomandibular disorder (TMD) or other oral function disorders during sleep. The BiteStrip is intended as an aid in the evaluation of excessive nocturnal jaw muscle activity The device is generally indicated for use by orofacial pain professionals or dentists, to evaluate nocturnal masticatory muscle activity level. which may be related to the patient's braxism. temporomandibular disorder (TMD) or other oral function disorders during sleep.

The BiteStrip is a disposable diagnostic device. The device is intended for use in monitoring masseter muscle contractions during sleep. It is generally indicated for use by physicians to aid in the evaluation of the presence and severity of bruxism, to determine the need for treatment, and for treatment follow-up. The BiteStrip is specifically indicated to obtain a quantitative measure of masseter muscle contractions during sleep, which correlates with bruxism severity derived from formal sleep lab studies. The BiteStrip is intended for adult users during an overnight sleep episode, i.e., 4-6 hours. The BiteStrip display gives an indication of muscle contraction severity as a single number, from 0 to 3 (Where 0 is very low count, and 3 is high count) depending on the total number of masseter muscle contraction episodes that the patient performs for the duration of the test. This number is referred to as the Bscore. While both Bscore and traditional bruxism score are very similar, and have good correlation, the terms differ because the bruxism score is measured using sleep lab EMG and additional physiological measures (not only EMG signals), while the Bscore is obtained by EMG analysis alone.
