Identify Sleep Apnea

SleepStrip® Helps Identify Patients with Sleep Apnea
Posted: May 3, 2005

The SleepStrip, new from Great Lakes Prosthodontics, a division of Great Lakes Orthodontics, Ltd., is a reliable, cost-effective, screening device that can help identify patients with obstructive sleep apnea or determine the effectiveness of oral appliance therapy.

The single use SleepStrip is simple for patients to use at home. The patient positions the self-adhesive device on the face prior to sleeping. Three miniature flow sensors monitor respiration throughout the night. An integrated central processing unit analyzes respiration patterns to detect and count each apnea and hypopnea event. Results are ready in the morning.

SleepStrip results and other risk factors including obesity, hyper-tension, heavy snoring, and family history are taken into consideration to correctly identify obstructive sleep apnea. Patients with positive SleepStrip results should be referred for further evaluation and diagnosis.
