Description

Nox Medical's disposable RIP belts are expertly crafted for use in sleep studies, providing precise monitoring of respiratory effort through respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP). These single-use belts are designed to seamlessly integrate with Nox sleep diagnostic systems, including the Nox A1, Nox A1s, and Nox T3s, ensuring hygienic and accurate measurement of breathing patterns.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Specifically designed for Nox A1, Nox A1s, and Nox T3s systems, these belts offer exceptional compatibility, enhancing the quality of sleep diagnostics.
• Signal Reliability: With a signal reliability between 98.5% and 98.8%, they provide trustworthy data, crucial for distinguishing between central and obstructive sleep apnea.
• Material: Made from a super stretchable, feather-light, and breathable elastic material, these belts offer comfort and ease of use for both patients and clinicians.

Design and Functionality

Each belt features a thin metal wire conductor woven into the elastic fabric, allowing for accurate measurement of respiratory effort. The belts are designed to be worn above clothing, minimizing size adjustment loops to reduce signal distortion. They automatically recalibrate every 30 seconds to maintain signal accuracy, even with changes in body position.

Patient Comfort

The minimal profile and easy adjustability make these belts particularly beneficial for patients sensitive to nasal cannulas, including pediatric and special needs patients. They can serve as an alternative to the Nox Cannula in sleep testing procedures, enhancing patient comfort.

• Pediatric, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large

Each size is packaged with 20 sets per pack, except for Extra Large, which includes 14 sets per pack. Medium size also offers multi-pack configurations, providing flexibility for different clinical needs.

Intended Use and Maintenance

These belts are intended for single-use applications, ensuring optimal signal quality and hygiene. After each use, they should be disposed of, aligning with their design as a consumable accessory.

Integration

The belts are compatible with the Noxturnal software system, further enhancing their integration into the Nox diagnostic ecosystem. Though not covered by warranty, their design and functionality offer significant value in clinical settings, contributing to comprehensive and reliable sleep studies.
