1. Description
1.1 Purpose of Use
SOMNOlab is a polysomnography system to support
the diagnosis, therapy settings and monitoring of sleep
disorders. The system serves to measure, store and depict
physiological data recorded during sleep. The system is
intended for use on persons weighing at least 45 kg to
whom appropriate sensors are applied. The primary area
of use is in sleep laboratories for clinical examination of
sleep disorders. The system records all parameters required
for the classification of sleep.
SOMNOlab is made up of the following components:
• Application parts are composed of: bodybox, headbox,
transferbox, sensors, secondary power supply unit and
secondary free analog ports
• SOMNOlab software under the operating system
MS Windows 2000.
• SOMNObutler for the recording and storage of application parts

General Information about the entire SOMNOlab system
• SOMNOlab generates information signals that are
graphically visualized and stored by a PC system. These
signals check for the presence of signals to be recorded
and check the functioning of the devices. The information
signals also serve to reduce the number of recordings
that cannot be analyzed, thus eliminating the need for
costly repetitions of nocturnal measurements.
• Alarms are not produced by the system.
• Automatic analyses (sleep stage, PLM, arousal, snore
and cardiorespiratory analysis) take place offline using
the signals stored on the PC and support the analyst in
the diagnosis of sleep disorders.
• With reference to electrical safety, the PC system is not
considered to be a piece of the SOMNOlab application part since there is a decoupling between the application part and the PC system. The PC system fulfills the
guidelines of EN-60950.
• The PC software serves to visualize, analyze, document
and archive patient-related data from long-term examinations for the diagnosis of sleep disorders. The system is
configured for this purpose and the transmitted data are
automatically analyzed offline.
• The system is intended for use with Weinmann-specified
sensors on persons weighing at least 45 kg.

1.2.1 SOMNOlab Application Parts
1.2.1.1. Headbox Function
The headbox records eletrophysiological parameters
and processes and transmits all measured signals to the
transferbox.
With the help of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) 3, a sensor test
/ impedance check can determine which electrodes are
correctly or incorrectly applied.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
13
1.2.1.2. Bodybox Function
The body box records respiratory parameters,
processes and transmits all measured signals to the head
box, which then directs them to the transferbox. The user
can trigger a sensor test / impedance check with a double-click on the Test button 8 on the bodybox.

20
1.2.1.3. Transferbox Function
The transferbox records the brightness of the room 14
and analog signals from external devices 20 (e.g.,
CAPNOsleep‚).
The analog ports 20 are decoupled so that there is no
electrical connection to the attached devices.
The transfer box transmits measured data via a fiber optic
cable 12 to the PC system and supplies electrical power to
the headbox and bodybox.
An LED 17 shows whether the power supply unit is plugged
in and a second LED 16 shows that the transfer box has
been turned on. You can turn on the transferbox by pressing
the standby key 15 or by connecting the headbox. You
can also let the PC turn on the transfer box automatically.
1.2.2. SOMNOlab Software
The data transmitted during measurement are stored and
visualized. The stored data can be automatically analyzed
according to time and value criteria. SOMNOlab software
can execute the following automatic analyses:
• Sleep stage analysis
• Arousal analysis
• PLM analysis
• Snore analysis
• Cardiorespiratory analysis
On the basis of the analysis results and the depicted
signals, you can evaluate the results according to your own
criteria.

1.2.3. Sensors
52
55
52
1.2.3.1. Respiratory flow / Snore Sensor 57
With the respiratory flow /snore sensor, you can record the
nasal and oral air flow and the snoring noises of your patient.
• The sensor nodules 52 consist of thermistors. They record
the respiratory flow by measuring the temperature of the
exhaled and inhaled air.
• The microphone 55 registers the snoring noises made by
the patient.
1.2.3.2. Respiratory flow/Snore Nasal Cannula 58
In conjunction with the pressure sensor integrated in the
bodybox, the respiratory flow/snore nasal cannula records
respiratory flow and snoring noises. Inspiration is registered
by means of the negative pressure created and expiration
is registered via positive pressure. Snoring produces pressure fluctuations in the nostrils, which are likewise registered. Pressure measurement reacts more sensitively than
thermal measurement to slight flow limitations when the
mouth is closed. However, the signals are impaired when
the patient breathes through his mouth. Pressure measurement, which is unaffected by ambient temperature, permits
a visual evaluation of the flow curve over time.
• The signal depiction and the automatic analyses have been
coordinated with the original Weinmann nasal cannula.
1.2.3.3. Pressure Measurement Hose 64
Use the pressure measurement hose together with a nasal
cannula to monitor therapy. The hose measures your
patient’s respiratory flow and snoring during therapy along
with the therapy pressure in the mask.
• Pressure fluctuations in inspiration and expiration are
directed from the mask over the pressure measurement
hose to the bodybox. The exhalation of air creates a
slight positive pressure in the hose while the inhalation
of air correspondingly produces negative pressure. It is
possible to identify individual breaths on the basis of the
pressure differences.
• Snoring noises are measured by means of rapid pressure
changes.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
15
• Therapy pressure is derived from the statistical components of the pressure signal.
1.2.3.4. Pulsoximetry Sensor 70
The pulsoximetry signals, oxygen saturation of the blood
and the patient’s pulse rate are measured by the pulsoximetry sensor.
• The main components of the sensor are two light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) and a receiver diode.
• Several SpO2 values are determined for each pulse
wave (Split Pulse Wave Algorithm).
NOTE:
Pulse rate is derived from arterial pulse at the point the sensor is applied and is given in beats per minute. Pulse rate
corresponds to heart rate as long as arterial blood flow
is not restricted or defective and no extrasystoles occur. In
contrast to heart rate, pulse rate is shown averaged over
several heartbeats.
For each registered saturation value, SOMNOlab calculates a quality value that indicates how good or accurate
the measured SpO2 value is. If the signal is impaired
by movements, the number of values is low. Unimpaired
signals provide a greater number of values. Consequently,
an impaired signal produces a low quality level while
an unimpaired signal produces a high quality value. The
quality signal has a value in a range from 0 to 100%. The
quality signal can be helpful in evaluating SpO2 long-term
measurement since it eliminates artefacts that occur during
measurement.
Instead of using the standard sensor WM 94034, you can
use the vario-adapter 63 WM 94036 together with the
pulsoximetry sensor 74 WM 94037 (finger clip sensor with
short cable) or WM 90326 (flexible disposable sensor).
1.2.3.5. Thorax Sensor and Abdomen Sensor
The thorax and abdomen sensors register thoracic and
abdominal respiratory effort.
• The measurement of respiratory movement takes
place with the help of thorax and abdomen sensors.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
16
Respiratory movements cause changing tensile stress
on the measurement recorder in the fastening belts. The
measurement recorder converts the piezoelectric effect
resulting from movement into electrical signals.
1.2.3.6. Eletrophysiological Signals
Electrophysiological signals are measured by means of
electrodes and the headbox. For this purpose, gold-plated
cup or disposable electrodes can be used.
1.2.3.6.1. Electroencephalogram (EEG)
The EEG registers brain waves, or more specifically, the
cortical electrical activity that results from a summation of
postsynaptic potential.
1.2.3.6.2. Electro-oculogram (EOG)
The EOG registers eye movements. Registration is made
of the electric potential caused by eye movement and
produced as electric dipole in the adjacent electrodes.
1.2.3.6.3. Electromyogram (EMG)
The EMG registers muscle activity on the chin and legs. It
serves to record the physiological and pathological movement activity in the body or extremities.
NOTE: The EMG is required to distinguish among various
sleep stages. The EMG of the legs is especially for the
diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and Periodic Leg
Movement Syndrome (PLMS).
1.2.3.6.4. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
The ECG registers the electrical potential that occurs
between certain points on the skin as a result of cardiac
stimulation. SOMNOlab can recognize changes or disruptions in cardiac rhythm.
NOTE: SOMNOlab records a one-channel ECG for the
recognition of changes in cardiac rhythm. SOMNOlab
cannot accurately record disruptions in stimulus conduction
or involutional disturbances, both of which require more
ECG channels. Therefore, SOMNOlab cannot be used for
cardiological diagnostics or monitoring.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08

14
1.2.3.7. Function of the Light Sensor in the transferbox
The light sensor 14 in the transferbox records the brightness
in the room. With the help of this sensor, you can determine sleep parameters such as TIB (Time In Bed). It registers
when the light in the room is turned on or off.
1.2.4 Audio-Video System
Video monitoring is used to observe and monitor the patient who spends the night in a room separated from night
shift staff. The system assists in the reliable recognition of
artefacts and documentation of nighttime behavior. In addition, analysis of video material also provides important differential diagnostic information regarding sleep disorders.
The audio system registers room noises such as snoring.
1.2.5 SOMNOsupport and SOMNOadjust Modules (optional)
1.2.5.1. Purpose of Use
SOMNOsupport is the supplementary PC software for
therapy devices SOMNOtron 4, SOMNOcomfort, SOMNOsmart, SOMNOvent S and SOMNOvent ST. It permits
therapy monitoring data to be read and depicted and allows remote setting of all the above-named therapy devices
via SOMNOlab software as well as PC-supported analysis
of titration data from SOMNOsmart.
You can make settings to Weinmann therapy devices by
using the SOMNOlab software. It is not necessary to start
SOMNOsupport for this purpose. Reading of stored data
into therapy devices takes place via SOMNOsupport
software.
NOTE: Please follow the detailed instructions in the User’s
Manual WM96275 for SOMNOsupport.

1.4 Signals and Messages from SOMNOlab Devices
So that you can always be sure your measurements proceed without error, SOMNOlab provides visual signals.
They are depicted by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the
headbox and transferbox.

button
• LED direct current symbol shows that the power supply
unit has been plugged in (light stays on).
• LED Stand-by button shows that the system has been
turned on.
1.4.2. Green LEDs on headbox:
• The LED of the corresponding signal no longer flashes at
the end of the impedance test: impedance of electrode
< 5 k , which means it is all right or a sensor signal is
available.
• The LED of the corresponding signal flashes slowly at the
end of the impedance test: impedance of the electrode
is < 10 k , which means the signal is not of optimal
quality, but is acceptable.
• The LED of the corresponding signal flashes quickly at the
end of the impedance test: impedance of the electrode
> 10 k or no sensor signal (check the electrode or
sensor; unacceptable signal quality).
• Refer to SOMNOlab Online Help for more information.
1.5 Measurement Conditions
• Please observe the usage instructions for application of
the sensors and electrodes.
• If the sensors become soiled, for example, by secretions, build-up of electrode gel or dampness, false
measurements can result.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
20
1.5.1. Pulsoximetry Sensor 70, 74
• Make sure the LEDs and the receiver in the sensor are
not soiled or damp.
• Using a reference value based on fractional saturation
measurement, the pulsoximetry sensor is calibrated on
pulsoximetric hemoglobin-oxygen saturation with dyshemoglobin-free blood. If the portion of dysfunctional hemoglobin (e.g., carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
is high, the measurement will not be accurate. Likewise,
intravascular dyes or colored nail polish can reduce the
accuracy of the measurement.
1.5.2. Respiratory flow / Snore sensor 57
• The measurement of the respiratory flow curve is based
on the measurement of a temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air stream. Therefore,
an insufficient signal is recorded when the ambient
temperature is between 33° C and 38° C.
NOTE:
If the sensor is covered by a blanket, the ambient temperature rises to body temperature, which can cause an
incorrect measurement.
• The sensor nodules 52 have to be placed exactly in the
nasal and oral respiratory flow.
• The sensor nodules cannot be used if soiled. If they are
covered by secretions, for example, a false measurement can result.
• The membrane over the microphone has to be in good
condition.
• The microphone 55 of the respiratory flow/snore sensor registers the snoring noises made by the patient as
well as ambient noises of similar frequency. Make sure
that the volume of ambient noises is much lower than
the volume caused by snoring noises.
• Do not use the respiratory flow /snore sensor
simultaneously with the pressure measurement hose 64
WM 94040 for CPAP pressure measurement.
• The sensor can be reused only after it has dried
completely.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
21
1.5.3. Respiratory flow / Snore Nasal Cannula 58
• The respiratory flow / snore nasal cannula can be used
as an alternative to the thermistor with microphone (air
flow/snore sensor) but not at the same time.
NOTE:
In order to use the respiratory flow/snore nasal cannula,
you will have to define it as a converter for the flow in the
device configuration.
• The respiratory flow / snore nasal cannula is used for
diagnostic measurement, but cannot be used simultaneously with the pressure measurement hose for CPAP or
BiPAP therapy monitoring.
• The difference between nasal pressure and ambient pressure is recorded. Therefore, changes in ambient pressure
during measurement are irrelevant.
• Large amounts of secretions (mucous) or blood (nose
bleeds) can impair the measurement of respiratory flow
and snoring.
• Noises from outside (e.g., sounds of traffic) can impair
snore measurements.
• The respiratory flow / snore nasal cannula must be
directly connected to the pressure measurement port on
the bodybox.
• Please do not use damaged nasal cannula.
• The hose should not be allowed to tangle during measurement.
• The respiratory flow / snore nasal cannula is a disposable article.
• Make sure that you have deactivated the visualization
filter for the flow signal before you use the respiratory
flow / snore nasal cannula.
1.5.4. Position Sensor in Bodybox
• The position sensor integrated in the device works as it
should when the bodybox, holster 40 and belt 38 are
applied according to the instructions in this User’s Manual. Otherwise, incorrect measurements can result.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
22
1.5.5. Thorax and Abdomen Sensors
• Make sure that the belts 29, 38 fit tightly enough when
you apply the sensors. A lack of sufficient tension can
lead to the loss of signal amplitude or to a complete loss
of signal.
1.5.6. Pressure Measurement Hose 64
The pressure measurement hose
• must be clean and dry.
• cannot have kinks or tangles.
• is attached securely and tightly to the mask.
1.5.7. Headbox Electrodes
Electrodes measure electrical potential, specifically the
difference in the potential between two points on the body.
Because the measurement is non-invasive, the measurable
differences are very small. In the EEG, EOG and EMG,
they are in the range of Volt and in the ECG in the range
of mV. Critical for the quality of the measurement is the
resistance between skin, electrode and the gap between
them. The resistance of the electrode is negligibly low. The
skin’s resistance is strongly dependent upon the thickness of
the keratin layer, which can vary greatly. Resistance in the
skin can be decreased with thorough cleansing, application of lotion and slight roughing up of the skin. The greatest
resistance, which is found in the gap between skin and
electrode, can be reduced with the use of electrode gel.
Always essential in the derivation is the reference electrode (Z electrode), which guarantees a common reference
potential of the electronics.
1.5.8. Transferbox Light Sensor
The light sensor 14 located in the transferbox measures the
brightness of the room (light on / off). For the light sensor
to be able to function correctly, it should never be covered.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08

2. Safety Precautions
For your patients’ and your own safety and in accordance
with the requirements of the Medical Device Directive
(MDD), please observe the following:
2.1 SOMNOlab Devices
• When articles from other suppliers are used, this can
lead to malfunctions and problems with biocompatibility.
Please note that in such cases, all guarantee and liability
claims are invalid, if neither the accessories recommended in the user manual nor the original replacement
parts are used.
• Every operation of the device requires thorough knowledge and observance of this User’s Manual. The device
is intended only for the purpose described. Please read
this User’s Manual carefully. It is considered a part of the
device and therefore must be available at all times.
• The system is not to be used to monitor a patient’s vital
signs.
• The system produces information signals which serve
to monitor the presence of signals to be recorded and
to check the functioning of the device. Alarms are not
produced.
• The personal computer on which the data are stored and
visualized as well as the PC’s peripheral components
(e.g., printer) and non-medical devices cannot be in the
immediate area of the patient (within 4.5 feet).
• Additional equipment attached to the device’s analog
and digital interfaces must verifiably satisfy relevant EN
specifications (e.g., EN60950 for data processing
devices and EN 60601 for electrical medical devices).

5.2.2.1 Putting on the Headbox
Note:
Be sure that the colored end of the belt is on the patient’s
right-hand side. Ensure that the belt is taut across your
patient’s body, but not so tight that it cuts off his air. Your
patient must be able to breathe freely at all times.
• Place the headbox in SOMNOlab Headbox DUO case
31 so that you can see the control panel through the
window.
• All belt ends have Velcro closures 30, 32. By adjusting
the Velcro‚ closures, you can fit the belt to your patient.
It should sit securely but comfortably on your patient’s
body.
• Make sure that the device is positioned correctly. It
should be in the middle of the chest (sternum).
• Open the push buttons on the case. Place the thorax
sensor DUO in both sides of the case. The cable must
face down and each of the cable bushings on the sensor
must be on the side of the case. Fix the sensor in position
by closing the push buttons.
• Place the holster with the chest belt on your patient.
• Pull the black end of the belt 32 through the side eyelets
of the sensor.
• Hang the long end of the belt over your patient’s
shoulder.
• Thread the colored end of the belt 30 that’s hanging over
your patient’s shoulder through the upper eyelets of the
headbox and secure the belt.
• Make sure that the system is secure, but not too tight.
• Now pull the third colored end 30 of the belt through the
still open eyelet on the sensor and fasten the belt.
• Now you can attach the electrodes.
5.2.2.2 Position and Attach Electrodes
EEG, EOG and mental or submental EMG are essential
parameters for polysomnography. The positioning of the
electrodes for all three measurements are laid down in the
manual by RECHTSCHAFFEN and KALES (1968).
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
38
5.2.2.2.1
Attaching gold-cup electrodes (EEG, EMG, EOG)
Part the hair at the previously determined indicated point
(see Section ”Positioning EEG Electrodes”).
Cleanse the selected spot on the skin with a physiologic saline solution (NaCL 0.9%) or alcohol. You can use a cotton
swab or a gauze pad. Roughen up the skin with the paste
delivered with your system. With your finger, rub the paste
(adhesive + electrolytes) onto the scalp. This promotes
conductivity and offers a good surface on which to attach
the electrode. Fill the electrode cup with a pea-sized bit of
paste and press the electrode firmly on the scalp so that the
paste squeezes out from under the edge. Place a gauze
pad over the electrode and excess paste and press again.
Make sure that the edge of the electrode is firmly attached
to the scalp and that the conducting surface is closed off.
This prevents the drying out of the electrode, which would
lead to a loss of conductivity. Fix the electrode cable in
place with an adhesive strip. This reduces the pulling and
guarantees secure conductance overnight. It is also recommended that you arrange the cables across the patient’s
forehead and over the center of his head so that they can
be directed, bundled together and without kinks, to the
headbox.
You can also use disposable adhesive electrodes for
EMGs. Cleanse the skin just as you would for gold-plated
cup electrodes and fix the electrodes in place with adhesive strips.
Make sure that the adhesive strip does not twist out of
place. To do this, you can place the strips diagonally
across each other.
Note:
• Apply the electrodes very carefully. The quality of the
measurement depends on how good the adhesive spot
is since the transition between scalp and electrode is
subject to interference. Poorly secured electrodes result in
increases in artefacts, which can make evaluation of the
recordings difficult. Clean the electrodes with alcohol or
saline solution before every measurement.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
39
• Observe the instructions for adhesive electrodes, gels
and pastes, paying close attention to skin compatibility and
allergic reactions to the materials used.
• Check the expiry date on gels, pastes and electrodes.
5.2.2.2.2 Positioning the EEG Electrodes
In order to carry out a proper sleep derivation according
to Rechschaffen and Kales, the EEG electrodes should
be attached in accordance with the Ten Twenty Electrode
System. For the registration of EEGs during sleep, you need
the derivations C3 and/or C4. Use the opposite ear or
mastoid electrode as reference electrode, which will give
you the derivations C3 – A2 /M2 and/or C4 – A1/M1.
In addition to the EEG electrodes, you’ll also have to attach
a grounded electrode as electrical reference (Cz or FPz).
Tip:
Use the mastoid electrodes (M1/M2) as reference. They
are easier to attach and are not as interference-prone as
the ear electrodes (A1/A2).
5.2.2.2.3 Positioning the EOG Electrodes
SOMNOlab has two channels for the derivation of eye
movements. Place one electrode about one centimeter
(1 cm) above and slightly lateral to the outer canthus of
the right eye. The reference electrode is the homolateral
ear lobe or mastoid electrode, as in the EEG. Attach the
second electrode about one centimeter (1 cm) below and
slightly lateral to theouter canthus of the left eye. The reference is the contralateral ear or mastoid electrode.
With this wiring, the EOG signals during REM sleep and
in a waking condition are recorded out-of-phase. Artefacts and EEG signals are represented in-phase when this
circuitry is used.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
40
5.2.2.2.4 Positioning the Chin EMG Electrodes
Place the EMG electrodes to the left and right in the middle
of each muscle area on the chin. Attach the electrodes
about three to four centimeters ( 3 – 4 cm) apart. The EMG
is derived from two poles (bipolar). That is, the signals do
not refer to the reference on the ear or mastoid; the signals
are measured against each other.
Note:
Because the EMG signal is the most sensitive electrophysiological signal, the electrodes should be attached very
carefully.
5.2.2.2.5 Positioning the Leg EMG Electrodes
Bipolar derivation is used in the leg EMG as in the chin
EMG. That means that the signals do not refer to the
reference on the ear or mastoid, but rather the signals are
measured against each other.
The first conductive point is about one hand span below
the top of the kneecap ligaments and one finger-width
lateral to the front edge of the shin bone. The second point
is about five cm distal from there.
You can also use disposable adhesive electrodes for the
leg EMG. Cleanse the skin as you would for gold-plated
cup electrodes. Attach the electrode cable with several
strips of adhesive tape all the way from the attachment
point to the headbox. This prevents the cable from falling
off when the patient moves.
5.2.2.2.6 Positioning the ECG Electrodes
As is the case with EMGs, the ECG is also bipolar. The
polysomnographic derivation of SOMNOlab follows the
Einhoven derviation. For this purpose, firmly attach the
negative (red) electrode to the sternal end of the second
rib on the right and the positive (yellow or green) electrode
over the apex of the heart. In SOMNOlab the reference
electrode is the grounded electrode on Cz or on the forehead (Fz). Use the enclosed disposable adhesive electrodes for the ECG. Cleanse the skin as for the other electrophysiological signals. Attach the electrode cable with
adhesive strips in order to prevent the cable from falling off
when the patient moves.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
41
Note:
• Always conduct an impedance measurement of the
electrodes before a recording.
• Do not connect electrodes to another system parallel to
their use with SOMNOlab. In this situation, the function
of SOMNOlab cannot be guaranteed.
• Make sure that you have correctly connected the
electrodes to the headbox. If the connection is not right,
you will receive false analysis results and false signal
depiction.
• Do not attach any third-party devices with a 1-5 mm plug
to the headbox.

between the headbox and transfer in such a way that
you do not cut off the patient’s air supply.
• Turn on SOMNOlab via the transferbox.
• The system is now ready to measure.
5.2.4.2 Carrying Out a Sensor Test
So that you and your patient can be certain that all the
sensors are connected properly, carry out a test after you
have applied the sensors and devices.
8
WM 96227 f / BD114 f – 08.08
5.2.4.3 Impedance Measurement and Sensor Test
• Start the sensor test or impedance measurement with a
double click on the test key 8 on the bodybox or by calling up the impedance measurement program on the PC.
• During the test, the LED on the headbox flashes quickly
(4Hz) for the electrode currently being tested.
• Results are depicted on the headbox as follows:
➔ > 10 kΩ: (improvement urgently required)
LED flashes quickly (1 Hz)
➔ 5 – 10 kΩ: (acceptable, should be corrected)
LED flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)
➔ < 5 kΩ: (no action required)
LED is off.
After the successful placement of all configured electrodes/
sensors, no LED is illuminated on the headbox. There is
then no other change in the LED on the headbox when the
sensor test is ended with the closing of the impedance window in the software. In a sensor test, all channels, all effort
and pulsoximetry sensors, thermistors and nasal cannula
will be checked for availability of signals. If the LED is off,
it means:
”Sensor is connected and transmits a (physiological)
signal”. An impedance test always runs through all the
configured channels once and then displays the result until
the window is closed or a new test is started.
46
Note:
A correct derivation and implementation of the automatic
analysis is possible only with a low impedance value. For
optimum signal quality, we recommend that the LED for all
channels be out.
Important:
SOMNOlab has to be hooked up to the PC. The SOMNOlab software has to be started so that the impedance
values can be transmitted.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
47
6. Important Instructions for You and Your
Patients
You and your patient can prevent the inconvenience of
incorrect measurements by following these instructions:
• Sensors 94070 and 94080 are only to be used
in combination with 94052 Bodybox and 98022
SOMNOlab Headbox cases.
• DUO sensors 98032 and 98025 are only to be used in
combination with 98031 Bodybox DUO and 98024
SOMNOlab Headbox DUO cases.
• Never open the device.
• Don’t kink or twist the fiber optic cable.
• The SOMNOlab devices have to be securely but comfortably attached to the body so that the body position
can be correctly recorded.
• The effort sensors always have to be taut so that all
respiratory movements can be recorded.
• The cable on the pulsoximetry sensor should be secured
on the patient’s finger or hand with an adhesive strip.
This keeps the cable from disturbing the patient and
holds the sensor in place.
• The patient should sleep with the windows closed in
order to keep street noises from interfering with measurements results.
• The sensors should be clean and dry. If the patient sneezes, secretions should be carefully wiped away.
Note: You can pull the cable of the pulsoximetry sensor
through the sleeve of your patient’s pyjamas before you
place the sensor on his finger.
• The patient should avoid pulling the blanket or pillow
over his head. The ambient temperature would increase
so quickly that the respiratory flow / snore sensor would
deliver incorrect measurement data.
• Nail polish should not be used on the fingernail of the
index finger to which the pulsoximetry sensor is attached.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08
48
• Please check the position and fit of the sensors and
electrodes before you begin a measurement. Too much
contact resistance between the electrode and skin (for
example, with a poorly attached electrode) delivers unsatisfactory derivation. Make sure that the electrodes are
securely attached and check their electrical properties.
You can check the quality of the electrode application
with an impedance measurement.
• If SOMNOlab devices are replaced during a recording,
SOMNOlab software has to be restarted.
• Back up your patient data on a CD after each recording.
WM 96227 f / BD114f – 08.08

7. Cleaning and Disinfecting
7.1 Before Each Use
7.1.1 Respiratory flow / Snore sensor
The respiratory flow / snore sensor has a silicone
covering. Please clean it with a mild detergent. For disinfecting, we recommend a Terralin or a spray disinfection
with Incidin liquid spray. Make sure than no liquid enters
the plugs. Let the sensors dry completely before you use
them again.
7.1.2 Thorax and Abdomen sensors
Clean the sensors with a disinfectant (as described above
for the respiratory flow / snore sensor) or wipe them with
a damp cloth. Let the sensors dry completely. The sensors
cannot be submerged in liquids or put into an autoclave.
7.1.3 Pulsoximetry Sensor
Clean the pulsoximetry sensor with a disinfectant like
Terralin.
7.1.4 Pressure Measurement Hose

7.2 After Each Use
7.2.1 Gold-plated Cup Electrodes
Clean the gold-plated cup electrodes by immersing them
for five to 10 minutes in water or in suds. Rinse carefully.
Clean the electrode cable with a disinfectant like
Terralin.
Please observe the cleaning instructions in the accompanying User’s Manuals for the individual components.
Note:
Soiled or damp electrodes deliver false measurement results
or can lead to reduced signal quality.
7.2.2 Suction Electrodes
Clean the electrode cable with a disinfectant like
Terralin.
7.3 At Change of Patient
7.3.1 Headbox, Bodybox and Transferbox
Important! Do not allow any liquids to penetrate the headbox, bodybox, transferbox or plug connections. Before
cleaning, be sure to close the pressure port on the bodybox with the sealing cap!
Clean the surface of the components with a dry or slightly
damp cloth. If the components are heavily soiled, you can
use weak suds or a disinfectant containing alcohol, such
as Terralin. However, don’t allow any fluids to get into the
device. Observe the disinfectant’s instructions for use.
