The sleep world was a messy place

• Patients could not sleep in their own homes

• Wires kept patients tethered to the bed

• home sleep testing was considered inaccurate

• Clinicians had to learn complex technical systems

• Patients were uncomfortable

After the Nox T3

Unsurpassed Ergonomics

• Patients could sleep in their own homes

• Wireless capabilities for more comfort

• Proven level of clinical accuracy*

• Easy to use for clinicians and patients alike

• Created an industry standard for Home Sleep Testing

The Nox T3 SystemFEATURES AND BENEFITS

The Nox T3 Recorder – Specifications

18 Channels• Thorax Breathing

Effort (RIP)• Abdomen Breathing

Effort (RIP)• Respiratory Sound

(Mic)• Audio Volume (Mic)• Gravity (3D axis, x,

y, z)• Oxygen saturation

levels (wireless oximeter)

• Pulse (wireless oximeter)

• Plethysmograph (wirelss oximeter, necessary for PTT)

• ExG 1 (general purpose bipolar input channel)

• ExG 2 (general purpose bipolar input channel)

• Nasal or mask pressure (pressure transducer)

• Calibrated RIP Sum (the sum of the RIP belts)

• Calibrated RIP Phase (the phase difference between the abdomen and thorax belts)

• Calibrated RIP flow (derived from the sum of the RIP belts and is a good substitute for nasal flow)

• Activity (accelerometer)

• Position (accelerometer)

• Flow (nasal pressure)

• Snore (nasal pressure)

The Noxturnal Software – Key Features• Immediate

recording results with automatic analysis

• Full featured raw data analysis and scoring

• Advanced automatic analysis algorithms

• Powerful reporting capabilities

• Intuitive recording management capabilities

The Nox T3 System – Ergonomics Matter!

Medical Grade Sleep Bruxism Monitor• EMG leads test

electrical activity in the muscles of mastication

• Auto Score Bruxism events

• Provides Apnea to Bruxism Index (ABI)

• Provides Arousal to Bruxism Index

• Meets in lab standards for Bruxism testing during sleep

• Scoring using AASM guidelines

• ABI links SDB to Bruxism events

• Arousal index is a key indicator of Sleep Quality

• Identify the right patients• Determine the severity of

their disorders• Crucial for determining

proper, patient-specific treatment paths

• Increases compliance• Important to be able to

address a wide range of patients

Clinical Quality Is Key!

The Nox T3 System – Clinical Quality• Integrated high quality

audio microphone • Calibrated RIP

technology• Integrated actigraph

and position sensor• Full plethysmography

from SpO2• Flow Volume Loops and

Konno Mead Loops• Auxiliary Inputs

• Technology to measure snoring

• Reliable additional flow signal which reduces failed recordings

• Allows an accurate measurement of rest time

• Allows for PTT measurements• Intuitive way to accurately

determine reduction in flow• Measure any ExG signal to

address more patient groups (bruxism etc.)
