5.1.1 Starting the SOMNOtouch
TM
RESP eco at the device
Press the ON button to activate the device. The green LED is turned on.
A recording can be started by pressing the marker button three times. During recording the green LES
is flashing once every second.
Please make sure all sensor are connected before the recording starts!
In case a not-transferred recording is on the device it is not possible to start the recording at the
device. The recording must be transferred to the PC first.
If you start the device directly an automatic patient ID is generated. This ID you can change later
during transfer of the data to the PC. There you can set name/surname and other patient data.
5.1.2 Attaching the sensors
The main device should be placed on top of light clothes (nightshirt, pyjamas) and should not be in
direct contact with the skin.
Be careful while attaching the belts and sensors to the patient to prevent strangulation. Fix the cables
with adhesive tape if necessary.
Please note: The sensors must be plugged in and out without turning them.
