SagaTech manufactures and markets the Remmers Sleep Recorder which records diagnostic indicators of sleep apnea, detects periodic leg movements(1) in adults, and monitors the effectiveness of CPAP therapy. The Remmers Sleep Recorder is convenient and easy to use; the client attaches the necessary probes so that no technician or specialist need be present. A Windows™-based software package is included, providing data analysis on a personal computer and display of processed and unprocessed data. Test results are presented in a convenient, reliable, and inexpensive manner. The Remmers Sleep Recorder has been approved for sale in Canada and the USA.
The Remmers Sleep Recorder (Formerly SnoreSat™) records signals that are commonly used in diagnosing patients who are suspected of having sleep apnea. These signals are:
- Blood oxygen saturation
- Heart rate
- Pulse amplitude
- Nasal airflow (through nasal cannula pressure measurement)
- Respiratory airflow (through pneumotachograph when CPAP is used)
- Mask pressure (when CPAP is used)
- Snoring sound
- Body position
- Respiratory movements
The Remmers Sleep Recorder also records electromyograms which can be used in the diagnosis of other sleep disorders.
- Two channels of electromyograms.
These can be used in the diagnosis of periodic leg movements.
