The ApneaLink Air is a home sleep testing device from ResMed that helps healthcare professionals diagnose sleep-disordered breathing in adultsIt records up to five channels of data while the user sleeps, including: respiratory effort, pulse, oxygen saturation, nasal flow, and snoring. 

The device comes with a recorder, belt, effort sensor, nasal cannula, and pulse oximeter. To use the device, the user: 
  1. Pulls the belt around their body and threads the effort sensor’s end through the belt’s slot 
  2. Attaches the tab to the belt, even if the effort sensor isn’t used 
  3. Checks that the belt is comfortable and secure, and that the device is centered over the chest 
  4. If using an oximeter, slides the clip onto the belt on the same side as the oximeter’s finger sensor 
  5. Places the nasal cannula’s prongs facing down, loops the tubing over the ears, and tightens the toggle under the chin 
  6. Inserts the nasal cannula’s end into the recorder, turning it clockwise 
  7. Places the pulse oximeter on the index finger or uses a disposable sensor wrapped around the finger and secured with tape 
  8. Attaches the pulse oximeter to the belt next to the recorder 
  9. Presses the on/off button for two seconds to start recording 
  10. When the central green light illuminates, the recording begins automatically

A green test complete light indicates a successful study, while a red light means the test was unsuccessful. The clinician then downloads and analyzes the data to determine if sleep-disordered breathing is present.
