Diagnostic sleep medicine teams face particular challenges in the sleep lab, including trying to safeguard patient sleep and acquire quality data throughout the night. It is critical that their tools support these goals. Many sleep labs use end-tidal CO2 to monitor ventilation; however, this method presents a variety of challenges in this population.
With product features designed for the sleep lab, the Sentec Transcutaneous Monitoring System combines ease of use and patient comfort with accurate values regardless of ventilation method or ventilation perfusion (V/Q) mismatch.
Smart Cal-Mem
The unique V-Sign™ Sensor allows the sensor to be disconnected from the monitor for up to 30 minutes — without the need for recalibration. This can facilitate easier overnight monitoring, allowing for bathroom breaks, repositioning, and other interruptions.
Up to 12 hours of monitoring
A single calibration enables all-night monitoring with site times of up to 12* hours.
Recommended 8 hours; 12 hours max
Membranes last 28 days
Long membrane life supports workflows and cost management by allowing for longer periods between sensor maintenance.
Useful data
Sentec technology connects to a wide range of patient monitoring, data management and polysomnography systems. Only stabilized values are reported to these systems, supporting better data management and analysis. Learn more
