3. EEG/PSG MEASUREMENT
Operator's Manual WEE-1000 3.15
For attaching procedure and cautions/note, refer to the operator’s manual of each
sensor.
CAUTION
Before attaching a sensor, check whether it contains dry natural
rubber or not. Natural rubber may cause allergic reaction with
symptoms such as itching, redness, urticaria, swelling, fever,
dyspnea, symptoms similar to asthma, reduced blood pressure and
shock. If the patient shows any of the above symptoms, immediately
stop using the chest movement sensor and perform appropriate
medical treatment.
Airflow Sensor
Respiration (Airflow, Chest, Abdomen)
Airflow (nostril and mouse respiration)
The respiration waveforms are measured from the nostril and mouth by
temperature variation between inspiration and expiration. The TR-
101A/102A Pro-Tech Airflow Sensor is recommended for the
measurement.
• The airflow sensor are easy to damage. Take care when attaching
them.
• Attach the airflow sensor where large respiration waveforms are
detected.
• Do not let the thermistor of the airflow sensor contact the patient
skin. Otherwise, amplitudes of the respiration waveforms are
reduced.
Chest, Abdomen
The respiration waveforms are measured from the chest and abdomen
by their movement. The TR-111A/112A Pro-Tech Effort Sensor is
recommended for the measurement.
• Take care to bind the strap around the patient body properly so that
the patient does not become uncomfortable. If you bind the strap too
tightly, this prevents the patient entering sleep. If you bind the strap
too loosely, the respiration waveform cannot be detected when the
patient lies on his or her side.
