Introduction
Your physician or healthcare provider has given you the ApneaLink Air device to test if you have sleep-disordered breathing. The device
collects information related to how much and how well you breathe at night. Read these instructions thoroughly before you begin your
test.
Intended use
The ApneaLink Air device is indicated for use by Health Care Professionals (HCP), where it may aid in the diagnosis of sleep disordered
breathing for adult patients. ApneaLink Air records the following data: patient respiratory nasal airflow, snoring, blood oxygen saturation,
pulse and respiratory effort during sleep. The device uses these recordings to produce a report for the HCP that may aid in the diagnosis
of sleep disordered breathing or for further clinical investigation. The device is intended for home and hospital use under the direction of
a HCP.
