FOSQ test is a 'quality of life' questionnaire designed specifically for people with sleep disorders.
The results allow health care professionals to see how therapy has improved the quality of your
life. By completing the questionnaire periodically, you can provide valuable information about
the effectiveness of your treatment. The device can record your answers on the SmartCard or via a
wired or wireless modem for later review by the health care professional. Contact your home care
provider for further instructions.
Note:
If your health care professional or home care provider instructs you to com-
plete the questionnaire, he or she will provide you with the questions, and you
can enter your answers into the device. Make sure a SmartCard or modem is
installed before answering the questions. The FOSQ screens will not display if a
SmartCard or modem is not present and able to store data.
To answer the FOSQ questionnaire, complete the following steps:

are saved onto the SmartCard or sent to the health care professional via a wired or wireless
modem (when available). If you are using a SmartCard, a SmartCard symbol (
