Intended Use
The Sleepworks software works in conjunction with Connex, Trex or Netlink amplifiers intended for polysomnography studies. The software allows recording, displaying, analysis, printing and storage of physiological signals to assist in the diagnosis of various sleep disorders and sleep related respiratory disorders. The Sleepworks allows: - Automated analysis of physiological signals that is intended for use only in adults. . - An optional Audio / visual alert for user defined threshold on calibrated DC input. . These alerts are not intended for use as life support such as vital signs monitoring or continuous medical surveillance in intensive care units. - Sleep report templates are provided which summarize recorded and scored sleep . data using simple measures including count, average, maximum and minimum values as well as data ranges for trended values; SleepWorks software does not provide any diagnostic conclusion about the patient's condition and is intended to be used only by qualified and trained medical practitioners. in research and clinical environments.
