Home Sleep Test - ApneaLink Air Plus by ResMed

The ApneaLink Air from ResMed is an at-home sleep apnea test that makes it easy to gather health information without needing to go to a sleep lab. It can be easily setup at home by yourself. The ApneaLink Air has three pieces that monitor five different sleep metrics. Each data point helps doctors better understand your breathing and overall health. Respiratory effort: The belt that wraps around your chest tracks how difficult it is for you to breathe by measuring how much your chest moves while sleeping. Respiratory flow: Your air pressure ratings can help your physician track gaps between breaths. The nasal cannula provides details on each breath’s air pressure. Snoring: The nasal cannula also detects snoring, one of OSA’s most common symptoms Blood oxygen saturation: Repeated apneas and hypopneas can cause desaturation in your blood oxygen level.The pulse oximeter measures spO2 levels through the night. Pulse Rate: Monitoring of pulse fluctuation is essential indicator for obstructive sleep apnea. When combined, these metrics can help your doctor come to a fuller understanding of your sleep health. The ResMed ApneaLink Air is FDA-approved and meets American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) requirements. This test is a good choice for people who want a simple way to gather sleep data.
