6.2.3 Menu – Analysis In this menu, all variables of the built-in algorithms can be changed. It is also possible to set the display colour for each analysis trace and set the colour of the classification box for each event. See red box marked in the figures below.
6.2.3.2 Classification of Arousals Fig. 6.6: Classification of arousals Arousals are labelled in the selected source channel. As soon as an arousal is detected, the analysis “Arousal Classification” will check if an event occurred in any of the other channels within the delay time set here.
Illustration Line: Bar: Threshold low and high activity [mg] This value is used for the detection of times with high, median and low activity. Those values will be displayed for the user defined areas in the report. The activity values calculated in the pre-set Timeframe are compared with this value.

2) Min. Signal Minimum value of the signal. An artefact will be detected as soon as the signal falls below this value. 3) Min. Duration [s] Minimum duration for an Apnoea or Hypopnoea. 4) Max. Duration [s] Maximum acceptable duration for an Apnoea or Hypopnoea. 5) Apnoea Ratio [%] The Apnoea ratio states the fractional flow relative to the baseline.
Flow Desaturation Fig. 6.11: Correlation Flow Analysis It is possible to select multiple parameters using the “and”/ “or” function for each parameter. The link and means that the correlating desaturation must occur within the set delay time for an apnoea or hypopnoea to be detected.
6.2.3.6 Position Analysis Fig. 6.13: Position Analysis Analysis Window [s] The size of the time window, in which the dominant body position is determined. It is possible to change the classification of body position dependent on the attachment of the SOMNOtouch™.
3) Desaturation [% SpO The minimum decrease in SpO for a desaturation event to be detected. 4) Max. Drop (Artefact) [% SpO per s] An artefact will be detected if desaturation decreases faster than this predefined value. 5) Oscillation Range [% SpO A new desaturation will be scored if this predefined value is exceeded.
Full Chart: Upon activating this option the respective curve will be displayed in full chart mode. Event Box: Upon activating this option coloured frames will mark the events of the respective signals in the Raw Data window. Auto Size: This option will scale the amplitude of the curve automatically.
