Innovations in Sleep Diagnostics: From Clinical Polysomnography to Home Polygraphy

Explore high-precision diagnostic sleep systems, esophageal catheter pressure monitoring, and portable screening devices like Samoa and Sonata.

Accurate diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing requires objective measurement of respiratory effort, air flow, oxygen saturation, and neurophysiological arousal.

Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) using compact polygraphy systems like Samoa allows comfortable diagnostic screening in the patient's natural home environment.

In clinical sleep laboratories, multi-channel polysomnography (PSG) platforms like Sonata incorporate EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, thoracic-abdominal effort bands, and esophageal catheter measurements for differential diagnosis of central vs obstructive apneas.
