The Critical Role of Airflow in Sleep Diagnostics
- New Clinical Application Paper
Explore our new paper on the importance of airflow measurement in diagnosing Sleep Disordered Breathing and how advanced airflow-based HSAT systems, like the Nox T3s, stand ready to support clinicians in delivering high-quality and informed care.
Prioritizing patient care through effective HSAT solutions
This resource is designed to support clinicians in selecting the most effective HSAT solutions to ensure diagnostic accuracy and care.
Key Highlights From the Paper:
- Comparisons of HSAT device capabilities, distinguishing between systems using airflow and effort parameters versus PAT-based approaches.
- The significance of airflow measurement: how information on respiratory effort is critical for helping clinicians distinguish between different types of respiratory events - obstructive, central or mixed apneas and hypopneas.

The Nox RIP Belts
- Foundational Piece of Every Nox Diagnostic Test
When a patient undergoes a sleep study with Nox Medical's diagnostic equipment, whether at home or in the lab, the patient's breathing throughout the night is recorded with the patented Nox respiratory inductance plethysmograph (RIP) belts.
- Patented, automatic, continuously calibrated RIP, meaning that there is no need for time-consuming and disruptive manual calibration to address position changes during the sleep study.
- Reliable backup signal for cannula flow.1,2,3
- Single patient-use for high signal quality and hygienic operation.
