any other purpose is prohibited. Respiro

. The device does not actively moni-
tor the patient’s status, make
diagnoses or treat the patient and it cannot be used
as a life-sustaining device. Device does not record EMG, EOG, or EEG signals re-
quired in an extensive sleep study (polysomnography). Device is not designed to
be used with children. The device is operated by healthcare professionals (hospi-
