For 'Pyxis' Sleep
Position Trainer
Congratulations with your NightBalance Sleep Position Trainer!
The NightBalance Sleep Position Trainer (SPT) is a new aid for the treatment of positional apnea.
The SPT is a small and light device, which you can comfortably wear at the front of the chest with an
ergonomic torso strap. The SPT prevents supine sleep comfortably and effectively. The amount of sleep
apnea attacks during the night decrease, improving you and your partner's sleep. Better sleep makes
you feel more refreshed and improves your daytime performance.

How does the training program work?
The training program consists of 3 phases adapted to your
personal sleep behavior. The SPT will follow this program
automatically, you do not have to do this yourself. Use the
online webapplication to see where you are in the training
and how you slept (see chapter 9.4 'Checking data: see
your progress with your own eyes').
The three phases are:
Diagnosis: The Sleep Position Trainer measures your
supine sleep percentage. This phase lasts two nights.
Start-up: During the next 7 days, the SPT will
gradually decrease the number of times you are
allowed to sleep on your back.
.
Training: After the start-up period, you will enter the
treatment (therapy) period. In this phase vibrational
feedback is provided at all times when you lie on your
back.

Sleeping with the SPT
Sleeping with the SPT
The SPT uses a sleep-in period of 30 minutes, enabling
you to fall asleep in any desired position.
From the third night, the SPT wills tart the training and
will remind you by soft vibration when you are lying on
your back. React to the vibrational feedback by turning
to another position to prevent sleeping in the supine
position.
