Page 4: Introduction
1 Introduction The CPAP/Flow sensor expands the possibilities of your SOMNOtouch NIBP to record nasal flow and snoring. Furthermore it is possible to determine the CPAP pressure. This instruction manual gives you information on the application and sensor specific settings. Please note the main instruction manual of the SOMNOtouch NIBP. -
Page 5: Applying The Sensors
4 Applying the sensors Connect the sensor to the SOMNOtouch NIBP. Due to the cognition of the sensor-ID you can plug the CPAP/Flow-sensor arbitrarily in one of the two sockets. Now apply the nasal cannula and connect the Luer-Lock to its counterpart at the sensor. -

5.1 Flow-Analysis “Hide events during wake” If you activate this checkbox, automatically scored flow events during wake are not displayed. Manually edited events during wake are still shown. When you edit events manually, automatic events that are hidden, are overwritten by the manual scoring. Note that only events during sleep are included in the analysis for the report. - Page 8 8) “Mixed A: central part [s]” (A: Apnoea) Where no central apnoea is detected but an Apnoea and an effort event overlap for at least 4 seconds, a mixed apnoea will be scored. 9) “% Snore time” If the percentage of snoring during an apnoea phase exceeds this value, a hypopnoea will be detected.
