Operation Manual
automatic algorithms, detects respiratory and other events that occurred during sleep as
well as periods of REM, deep sleep, light sleep and wakefulness. The pulse rate signal is
derived from the PAT
®
signal and used in the automatic analysis. The software issues
comprehensive detailed reports of the study. The whole night data can be viewed on the PC
screen and the automatically detected events can be revised manually.
An optional tamper-proof patient identification function is available using a custom
bracelet whose presence during the night verifies that the identified patient is indeed the
one sleeping with the device (see Tamper-Proof Testing with WatchPAT™ Device
section).
The patient normally sleeps only one night with the WatchPAT™ device unless an optional
multi-night option is selected which enables an up to 3 nights study with the same device
(see Multi-night study section).
