What are the main differences between the Nox A1s with conventional setup and Nox SAS?

The Nox SAS uses comparable physiological signals to those used in a traditional PSG5,6,7, with these additional enhancements: Forehead electrodes for avoiding EEG placement on scalp or chin Simplified setup for home PSG studies Four ECG electrodes

I already have a Nox A1s device. Which new items will I need to use with Nox SAS?

Nox A1s is compatible with Nox SAS, so you only need to purchase the following to enjoy the Nox SAS experience: 70710079 – Nox SAS Head Cable, CE 70710078 – Nox SAS Body Cable, CE (Left) 70710077 – Nox SAS Body Cable, CE (Right) 70710076 – Nox SAS Electrode Pack (20 pcs) 70710075 – Nox SAS Neck Band (20 pcs) 70710074 – Nox SAS Disposable Carton (20 pcs)

Which signals do the Nox A1s record with Nox SAS setup?

The Nox A1s with Nox SAS setup can record the following signals: Thorax and abdomen RIP Nasal pressure/mask pressure Snore and audio channels 8 unipolar channels 6 bipolar channels Position and activity Light SpO2, pulse, and plethysmography

Nox A1s™

Portable and easy-to-use polysomnography system

Like its predecessor, the Nox A1s is an easy-to-use¹, portable polysomnography (PSG) system that enables home-based or in-lab diagnosis of sleep-related breathing disorders. With an ergonomic design, the device has been developed to record a high-quality signal.

ResMed does not offer this product in the UK. Availability across regions may vary.

Nox A1s offers

Ease-of-use

This ergonomic PSG, with its updated design and responsive user interface, combined with Noxturnal software and mobile app, help make your life and your patients’ lives easier.

Clinical accuracy

Complete polysomnography system, including integrated respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) and digital microphone, to provide an accurate score and reliable diagnosis¹.

Efficiency

Equipped with Bluetooth® Low Energy, for stable communication that allows smooth online sleep studies with synchronised video, as well as USB-C and high-resolution RIP technology from Nox for efficient home sleep testing².

Nox SAS: Make polysomnography simple – in hospital and at home

The Nox SAS is an innovative solution for recording EEG, ECG and EMG data via electrodes positioned along the forehead – removing the need for EEG electrodes on the scalp or chin EMGs. This provides patients with the opportunity to have polysomnography tests at home³, with accuracy comparable to a conventional PSG study⁴. Compatible with the Nox A1s system, the setup is simplified to save you time, or to give your patients the ability to run their own setup at home.
