Universal–Single Use XactTrace™
Instructions
The Universal-Single Use XactTrace Respiratory Inductive Plethysmogragh
(RIP) sensor belt is a respiratory effort sensor used in the diagnosis of
sleep disordered breathing. XactTrace measures changes in inductance,
and converts it into a digital signal that gives both qualitative and
quantitative data. This sensor is more sensitive and reliable than typical
respiratory effort sensors, especially in cases of paradoxical breathing.
The Universal-Single Use XactTrace belts consist of a belt roll that can be
cut to appropriate lengths for each patient and two Belt Locks for the
abdomen and thoracic regions.
Fitting the XactTrace Belts
The XactTrace belts must be custom fit for each patient. When using the
XactTrace belts, avoid all unnecessary contact with
moisture.
1. Encircle the belt around the patient's chest
under the arm to approximate the
circumference for the thoracic belt.
2. When cutting the belt, reduce its circumference by 10-15cm (4-6
in) so it stretches around the thorax. The belt should fit snugly to

This causes interference between the two sensors, resulting in bad signals. Storage Proper storage of the XactTrace Belt Locks between recordings is important. To protect the sensor cable from damage, do not wrap it tightly around the Belt Lock, as it might cause the cable to break where it connects to the Lock. - Page 5 Connect the XactTrace sensors to an electrically isolated input only. Do not plug the cables into electrical outlets, as this could result in serious electrical shock.
