Any damage of the warranty seal “Warranty void, if seal is broken”, located on the back of the device case, will lead to immediate loss of warranty. The main device should only be used with micro SD cards specified by SOMNOmedics. SOMNOmedics cannot guarantee error-free operation if third-party memory cards are used.
Connect the power supply to a freely accessible socket. In case of a defect it should be possible to unplug it easily. Make sure the power supply is not used in close proximity to the patient.

Note: Attach the belts and sensor/electrode wires securely to the patient to avoid strangulation. Fix the sensor cable with adhesive tape if needed. Recordings with children may only be performed while under continuous observation. We recommend placing the main device in the abdominal region of the patient. Alternatively, you can place the device in the thoracic region.

Inserting a sensor plug into the main device The device automatically recognises the connected sensors. Main device with plugged-in sensors; signals are shown on the display 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.
Sensors for Polysomnography Attaching the effort belts Insert the thin end of the effort belt into the slot on the left side of the main device (seen from the front). Follow the steps shown in the following image: >>Click<< Connecting the effort belt to the main device using the thin end Wrap the belt around the patient.
Attaching the effort belts to the patient Nasal cannula Attach the nasal cannula to the patient’s nose. Make sure that the holes of the sensor elements (highlighted red in the following image) are placed directly below the nostrils. Note: Nasal cannulas are single-use items. Adjust fixing sleeve in order to secure the sensor’s position.
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.
microphone is placed approximately 1 cm apart from the nasal tip and towards the nose. Then, . For the patient’s comfort the the cable is plug into the adapter and into the SOMNO HD cable is routed over the head and down towards the device along the throat (compare the following figure).

Note: Use disposable snap electrodes only. Clean the skin before attaching the ECG electrodes. Note: The main device must not be placed directly on the skin. The cables of the ECG electrodes should run under the pyjamas/nightshirt. The connecting cable of the corresponding ECG sensor should run on top of the pyjamas/nightshirt to the main device.

Further information for integrating the sensor in a montage/recording and the analysis please read the DOMINO software manual. CPAP sensor and CPAP device Measurements with the Differential Pressure Sensor There are two ways to connect the CPAP sensor to the CPAP device: A) If the CPAP mask does not have a port for a pressure tube: Place an oxygen adapter (sold separately) between the angled piece of the mask and the oxygen hose.
Measurements with the Dual Pressure Sensor If using the dual pressure sensor no additional connection between SOMNO HD and the mask is necessary. The dual pressure sensor is connected directly to the pneumotachograph and the cable is connected to the main device. Additional Sensors Sensor for recording the electrodermal activity (EDA Sensor) The electrodermal activity is used to describe electrical phenomena of the skin because the...
The electrodes for recording the intercostal activity are placed directly on the patient’s skin. Beforehand the skin needs to be cleaned with Nuprep abrasive gel. Afterwards the second and third intercostal space (counting from the lowest rip) can be determined by palpating. Then, place one electrode in each intercostal space along the frontal axillary line.
Nasal application of oesophageal Balloon catheter For further information regarding the initialisation of a recording or the analysis of recorded data please read the DOMINO software manual. External Activity Sensor The external activity sensor is supposed to record the movement of the extremities and should be applied to the patient’s non-dominant wrist.
External battery with power supply Before using the external battery, please make sure the SOMNO HD and the external battery are fully charged. Otherwise the specified recording time cannot be reached. For charging connect the external battery to the connection piece of the provided power supply. Two LEDs on the power supply are indicating the charging status.
Control functions which are active and selectable are backlit. Power button: when touching the power button (1) the device can be switched on and off respectively, also, the display can be turned on during the measurement. The button flashes red when the device is in measuring mode or green when the device is in standby mode.
Display turning off When the device is ready to be switched off you see the following screen: Display confirm shutdown Confirm the notification by touching the confirm button (3) or the check mark on the screen. If you wish to switch off the device during a measurement (i.e. abort the recording), you can either use the power button or the red Tap on “Stop”...
