Figure 5-18. Sleep Study - Setup Screen
Adjust Stimulation
1. After the patient has fallen asleep, select the Turn On therapy button and then select the Now or Delay
button from the Start Therapy screen.
Note: While waiting for the patient to fall asleep, review the patient’s sleep history to determine which
sleep positions and stages contribute most to overall AHI. Target these sleep positions and stages to
provide the maximum therapeutic benefit to the patient.
2. Monitor the patient’s response to therapy and if necessary, make adjustments throughout the study as
follows:
a. If persistent obstructive events occur, increase the amplitude and select Set Amplitude. Observe the
airflow response for at least 10 minutes and reevaluate the effectiveness of the amplitude setting.
b. If the programmed amplitude wakes the patient, turn therapy off, reduce the amplitude, select Set
Amplitude, and wait for the patient to fall back asleep.
Note: Changes to the amplitude, therapy on/off state, and advanced stimulation settings will be logged
and can be reviewed during the study.
3. Once the sleep study is completed, select the End Study button.
