Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get out of bed for a drink, to use the bathroom, etc. when
connected to the Zmachine Synergy?
Yes. However, use caution around water to prevent water from entering
the system.
Can I lie directly on the Zmachine Synergy system and cords?
Yes, lying on the system and cords is absolutely fine and will not influence
the recording. Sleep in any position that is comfortable and representative
of your normal sleep.
I feel that my skin was a little irritated when I removed the Sensor
Pads in the morning. Is this normal?
Yes, the Sensor Pads can cause minor skin irritation or drying for some
people. This is normal and should disappear within about a half hour
following removal of the sensor pads. If your skin is dry, you may use a
dab of hand or face lotion over the affected area(s) in the morning. If you
have any concerns, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider
for further instructions.
Do I need to charge the Zmachine Synergy if using for a second
night?
No. When you receive the Zmachine Synergy it will be fully charged and
can run for at least 24 hours, so no need to recharge before a second night.
What should I do if I find that a sensor has become dislodged or
disconnected during the night?
Simply re-position / re-attach the affected sensors as soon as this has been
discovered and continue using the system as before.
Why did the Zmachine Synergy turned itself off before I started
using it?
The Zmachine may shut itself off after 20 minutes if it never detected a
good signal at any point in time following power on. So, don't power on
the Synergy too far in advance of applying the sensors.
