Introduction Thank you for purchasing the SOMNO HD eco from SOMNOmedics. Please read the following instruction manual carefully before installing and using the device. We gratefully accept any feedback and helpful suggestions to improve our product or instruction manual. Please find the safety instructions and important information in the chapter “Safety instructions”, as well as in the individual chapters where they are labelled as follows:...
Damaged parts should not be used and must be repaired or replaced by trained experts or by persons authorized by SOMNOmedics. Warning: Avoid using the device in close proximity to other equipment or in stacked combination with other equipment.

Cellular Phones, Microwave Ovens, etc. within a distance of 30 cm (in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2) to SOMNO HD™. If a battery change is required, only batteries specified by SOMNOmedics may be used. SOMNOmedics cannot guarantee error-free operation if different batteries are used.
Hamburg organises safe disposal. When recharging a partly-charged Li-Ion battery, this counts as one whole recharging cycle and shortens the durability of the battery. Always recharge the battery with the SOMNOmedics docking station NGA102 as the battery can otherwise be damaged. SOMNO HD eco should only ever be used with sensors and electrodes specified and approved for usage with this device by SOMNOmedics.

The power supply is intended for indoor use only. 3 Preparing patient: applying main device, sensors electrodes Note: The main device should be placed on top of light clothes (nightshirt, pyjamas) and should not be in direct contact with the skin. Note: If applying the main device and the sensor in a different way then shown...
Main device and sensors on the patient’s body Connecting the sensor plug to the main device Please insert the sensor plugs into the main device as shown in the following image: Inserting a sensor plug into the main device The device automatically recognises the connected sensors. The Luer-lock plug of the nasal cannula is screwed directly into the sensor port: Connecting the luer-lock plug to the main device Insert the headbox plug into the designated port and position.
Connecting the headbox plug to the main device Insert the SpO2 plug into the bottom as shown in the image. Connecting the SpO2 plug to the main device Note: In order to prevent damage of the sensor, patient should take off SpO2 sensor while washing hands or splashing water.
Connecting the effort belt to the main device using the thin end Wrap the belt around the patient. Insert the wider side of the effort belt to the right side following the guiding rail. Connecting the effort belt with the main device using the wider end Thread the belt into the sensor.
Note: Nasal cannulas are single-use items. Adjust fixing sleeve in order to secure the sensor’s position. Attaching the nasal cannula 3.2.3 SpO2 sensor The finger sensor should be attached to the most suitable finger. The upper side of the sensor is marked by the embossing of a finger as shown in the following image.
Attaching the PLM electrodes to the legs Note: Do not use dried-out adhesive snap electrodes. Only use electrodes provided by SOMNOmedics to ensure the best signal quality. Note: When using the leg EMG sensors, always use a ground lead electrode to ensure optimal signal quality.
3.2.6 Flow sensor (Thermistor) The thermistor measures the air flow via temperature changes and can be worn like a nasal cannula. See the following image to fit the sensor to the patient’s face. Make sure that both upper sensor elements (highlighted red in the following image) are located directly below the nostrils and that the lower element is located directly in front of the mouth.
EEG/ EOG Previous to the application clean all skin areas with Nuprep abrasive gel. Connect the EEG electrodes in accordance to the labelling and colour-coding to the headbox. Make sure you are using the same type of electrodes for all derivations (e.g. only Ag/AgCl or only gold cup).
3.3.2 Application for 32-channel headbox according to 10-20 System Electrode positions (10-20) Use the cable link between the reference electrode and the second free EMG port for application of EMG electrodes according to AASM rules Cable link CPAP sensor and CPAP device The PAP device is connected via the dual pressure sensor.
Connecting the pressure sensor to the mask via an oxygen adaptor 4 Operating the main device Control Elements Control and display elements of the main device Control elements which are active and selectable are backlit.
Power button: with this button the device can be turned on and off. The button is illuminated continuously red if the device is on. The button is flashing red if the device is recording and green if in wait mode. Button for starting a recording.
During the start-up process of the device the LEDs of the sensor ports are used to indicate the battery capacity. Each LED is reflecting a capacity of 14 %. Green means charged, red empty. The device in the following figure has four green and three red LEDs. So the battery capacity is four times 14 %.
4.2.1 Initialisation via DOMINO Software If initialising a recording with the DOMINO software you can enter the patient’s name, ID and further information such as date of birth, height and weight. This data is saved together with the measurement. The device can be programmed for manual or automatic start or for an online recording. 4.2.1.1 Pre-programmed automatic start For initialisation of the device please place the device in the docking station.
Page 25
After successful initialization the status is displayed (patient data, start, montage). You can change the initialization by clicking “change”. The initialization dialogue will re-open. After initialisation the device enters wait mode automatically. The power button is flashing green. All sensor ports expecting a sensor are indicated with a red LED. The LED is red until the expected sensor is connected.
4.2.2 Direct initialisation of the device As an alternative to the above, you can start a measurement directly on the device. When Bluetooth is active, the data can be displayed in an online recording or with the SOMNOmedics app on a tablet.
Please keep in mind that for direct start of the device the last montage is still remembered by the device. The device is expecting the sensors of the last montage and the recording is running with the previous sampling rates and duration. Due to intelligent connect you can add whatever sensor you need for the recording and the sensor will be recognised and added.
If you have purchased the blood pressure option there is an entry in the device specific information menu called “Blood pressure activated”. If you want to purchase the blood pressure option later please contact the SOMNOmedics service hotline. Required signals for the blood pressure calibration are ECG and plethysmogram from the SpO2 finger sensor.
4.7.1 Data transfer via docking station When the main device is plugged into the docking station and a measurement is on the device, the virtual docking station displays the following: Virtual docking station, main device is connected, measurement ready for transfer Click “Transfer”...

If the configuration file on your memory card is faulty five short beep sounds will inform you. The device is shut down afterwards. The similar five beep sounds will sound if the configuration file is broken. Is a faulty or not programmed sensor connected to the device the corresponding LED at the port is flashing red until the sensor is removed again.
Wipe the case of the main device with a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent. We recommend Terralin Liquid for cleaning. Note: This SOMNOmedics device complies with protection class IP 22 regarding ingression of humidity and water. Cleaning should be performed with a lint-free and damp cloth.
