SleepStrip

The SleepStrip™ is a new screening device for sleep apnea, recently approved for marketing in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration.


The SleepStrip™ is a disposable tool for measuring respiration during sleep. It is a self-contained, microprocessor-driven system that contains four major elements:

• Thermosensors for sensing airflow, one for each nostril and one for oral airflow
• A built-in microprocessor to analyze the breathing patterns of the patient
• A three-volt lithium battery to power the unit
• A display to show the recorded results to the physician

These components are connected by electronic circuitry. There are two "wings" with adhesive to hold the SleepStrip™ to the upper lip, and a "bridge" containing the thermosensors.
