Due to concerns of skin irritation and allergic reactions to hospital tape, SleepSomatics does not provide hospital tape for home sleep testing. Important Note about Optional Tape: The ResMed ApneaLink Air video shows usage of hospital tape with your home sleep test. Your device has been thoroughly cleaned for your usage. A white film may be visible on the hinge elbow which is due to the natural mineral film deposit left by tap water following the washing of the equipment. Some orange discoloration may occur due to the germicidal disinfectant.
Important Note about Device: The ResMed ApneaLink Air is individually cleaned prior to usage. *** READ this IMPORTANT INFORMATION FIRST *** If you experience an emergency during your home sleep test, do not call or return to SleepSomatics. Please immediately call 911. This is a self-administered test. Please watch the ApneaLink Air user video and read all directions before beginning your test. Provided below are the SleepSomatics patient directions for the ResMed ApneaLink Air Take-Home Sleep Apnea Test. This page is for the ApneaLink Air home study device.
