Don’t Neglect Snoring During CPAP Titration – SnoreTac Snore Sensing Adapter

January 11, 2011 by admin

The Salter Labs BiNAPS and other select pressure transducers are utilized during sleep disorder studies to simultaneously measure respiratory airflow and snore pressure signals via a sleep diagnostic cannula. When titration to CPAP is initiated it previously required switching to a snore microphone/sensor. Now with the Salter Labs® SnoreTac™ Snore Sensing Adapter, all that is required is for a sleep lab to utilize the SnoreTac™ Adapter with the existing sleep diagnostic cannula and place it securely on the patient’s neck.

The BiNAPS will provide a clean snore signal with less signal artifact than traditional sensors. This eliminates the need for a snore microphone/sensor. This technology is disposable for single patient use. It saves time and money, while eliminating the cleaning, damage and replacement issues associated with alternative snore sensors.

The Salter Labs SnoreTac™ was developed by engineers in the Salter Labs R&D department in response to requests from sleep labs for a way to improve snore signals and utilize their existing BiNAPS devices during CPAP titration to monitor snoring. The result is a small, lightweight disposable adapter that attaches to the Salter Labs® sleep cannula and utilizes existing piezo sensor technology in the BiNAPS® to deliver a clean, accurate signal to the PSG equipment or other data acquisition system.

Company officials believe the SnoreTac™ will benefit all sleep labs using Salter Labs® BiNAPS® and other combination airflow pressure/snore devices, as well as labs who are dissatisfied with their current snore microphone/sensors. Ultimately, the SnoreTac™ allows for improved detection of snore events with less  artifact, while providing a low cost disposable adapter that can be disposed of after each use.
