Nox A1 Manual
~ 7 ~
Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the Nox A1 recorder. The Nox A1 recorder is an American Academy of
Sleep Medicine (AASM) compliant body worn sleep recorder and is a part of the Nox Sleep System. Its
main function is to record physiological signals by use of built-in sensors and patient applied sensors.
The Nox A1 recorder has a built-in Bluetooth® module also allowing it to record signals from
compatible auxiliary devices. Placement of the recorder and connecting sensors is simple and makes
the setup quick and easy. The Nox A1 recorder is configured by the Noxturnal software from Nox
Medical, running on a PC, that also allows for the review, organization, analyzing, and summarizing of
all signals recorded by the device. The complexity of the study is defined by varying the number and
types of physiological signals measured, supporting both ambulatory and online sleep testing. During
online configuration of the Nox Sleep System, commands and data are sent between the Nox A1
recorder and the Noxturnal software by use of the Nox C1 Access Point from Nox Medical. The Nox A1
recorder can communicate over Bluetooth link, either direct or via the Nox C1 Access Point
(depending on the system configuration), with Noxturnal App from Nox Medical running on a mobile
platform for device control and online review of signals being recorded.
