New Polysomnography System

Called Alice 5, the system has wireless Ethernet and remote-access capabilities that help consolidate operations. Alice 5 features expanded channel capability to 55 total channels, high quality electrocardiogram (ECG) with six channels, pulse transit time (PTT), and real-time impedance display. Alice 5 collects data from sensors placed on a patient and delivers the information to a computer running the Alice Sleepware application. This is a Windows-based software program designed to monitor, display, process, and download polysomnographic data. The data is then presented graphically on a computer screen for diagnostic review.

The system, from Respironics (Murraysville, PA, USA), is compatible with all lab therapy devices of Respironics and requires a maximum of only two cables to consolidate with sleep lab devices.

"Alice 5 not only simplifies the process of obtaining diagnostics in the laboratory setting, but helps advance sleep solutions by offering a wide range of parameters for patient evaluation,” observed Ron Fligge, product manager, sleep diagnostics, Homecare Division of Respironics.
