RESMED ApneaLinkTM with Oximetry Sleep Apnea Diagnosis Made Simple When combined with oximetry, this three-channel device records respiration, oximetry and pulse and provides probability on Cheyne- Stokes respiration. Why use ApneaLink? Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is recognized as a serious health problem that impacts approximately 43 million US adults. More than 80% remain undiagnosed, and many barriers prevent patients from getting access to therapy. ApneaLink provides you cost effective and easy to use methods while allowing patients to be diagnosed in the home. Simple, cost-effective and reliable results Automatically analyzes and derives apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and hypopnea-index (HI), flow limitation, snoring and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) Cheyne-Stokes probability detection objectively determines whether to refer patients for further in-lab diagnosis Ability to manually score and gain access to more detailed patient results Validated results meet AASM and CMS definitions for hypopnea scoring guidelines Improves patient care by providing easy access to treatment Provides the opportunity to help grow your sleep apnea business Oximetry Patient Data for Your Records through ResMeds Unique Software ApneaLink provides reliable and simple to interpret results and offers the following featues and benefits: Auto-generates an easy to interpret report with color-keyed results Highlights abnormal important values- AHI, ODI, and RI are highlighted when above the normal threshold Optional risk indicator (RI) graph - display of risk indicator graph now in a configurable setting Sensitivity 1005, specificity 87.5% at AHI of 102 AHI (Apnea-hypopnea index): The mean number of apneas and hypopneas per hour in the evaluation period. ODI (Oxygen desaturation index): The mean value that shows the number of drops in oxygen saturation per hour of sleep in the evaluation period. RI (Risk indicator): Apoint total as a sum of the AHI + a percentage of the flow limited breaths.
