Instructions for Home Sleep Testing
- Please use the ApneaLink the night that you go home with it. If you cannot use it that evening, please wait to pick it up at a time when you will be able to do so.
- Do not put the ApneaLink on until you are ready for bed.
- Remember the prongs of the nasal cannula should curve in towards the nostrils.
- Nail polish or false nails should be removed before applying the finger sensor.
- Chest belt and finger probe should be snug but not tight.
- Only push the button one time to start the recording. The light should turn green.
- If the light is red, re-apply the finger probe.
- After waking, push the button one time to end the recording.
- Please put everything in the mailing container and mail back as soon as possible. Do not worry about disconnecting sensors or cleaning unit.
- Please call your ENT/Sleep Clinic to set up a return visit to discuss results. This visit should be scheduled 7-10 days after you have used the ApneaLink.
