AASM recommendations call for the use of a thermal sensor to detect apnea as well as a pressure airflow sensor to detect hypopnea.  Cadwell Sleepmate CannuTherm® thermal pressure sensors are designed to comply with these recommendations.

Features & Benefits
Improving patient care. The CannuTherm® is designed to provide optimal comfort to the patient during PSG studies. The light compact design means that the patient will only feel the small cannula on their face.
Easy to use. The reusable thermoprobe attaches directly and securely into a special port in the single-use cannulas. The sensor remains in place eliminating the need to tape separate sensors together.
Reliable recordings. When using more comfortable integrated sensors, patients are less likely to dislodge them during sleep. A comfortable sensor promotes a relaxed patient, improved data collection and a more accurate PSG study.
