*NorthEast Monitoring LX Sleep Software Kit

admin — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:41:04 +0000

LX Sleep Software Kit LX Sleep software applies proprietary algorithms to data collected by NorthEast s OxyHolter to provide a simple alternative to the expensive, intrusive PSG sleep lab experience in identifying OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea). LX Sleep defines epochs of normal versus SDB (sleep diordered breathing). Then it performs pattern recognition on ECG and SpO2 signals; and applies a linear discriminant analysis and an age-based classifier to derive an AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index). An AHI < 5 represents no clinically significant apnea; 5 ≤ AHI < 15 represents mild apnea; AHI ≥ 15 represents moderate-to-severe apnea. Holter LX Analysis users can easily add the LX Sleep software option and users of the tried-and-true DR180+ can upgrade to OxyHolter with the addition of an OxyHolter cable, thereby creating the most accurate and easy-to-use OSA detection system on the market today. Features of this software kit: OxyHolter plus LX Sleep exceeds accuracy of ECG-only analysis 100% sensitivity and specificity for OSA in preliminary studies Less than 1/3rd the cost of a full PSG study Epoch-driven analysis, pattern recognition and classifiers provide AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) Patient compliance exceeds PSG lab The first step to relieve symptoms of OSA Integrated add-on software to Holter LX Analysis Industry-leading 3-year warranty NEMK11

Getting prepped by Vlad, the scoring technician, at New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center Sleep Lab for a sleep study to evaluate my apnea and titrate a cpap treatment.

Special thanks to Vlad for participating in the video. When my camera battery died, he let me borrow his (he has the same camera) and changed memory cards and setup shots. And, he is natural on camera – A star is born!

Also thanks to him and the other techs at NY Hospital Sleep Center for their humanity and competence.
