Sleep Sense 1561 AC Body Position Sensor - Manual (Page 2)

Applying the Sensor
The patient should lie on his/her back for
optimal positioning of the sensor.
Positioning the Sensor
1. Place the sensor belt around the patient’s chest over the night clothes and on top of
the effort sensor belt. Make sure the sensors do not touch the skin.
Locate the position sensor at the exact center of the body over the sternum.
2. Gently tighten the body position belt to secure the sensor in place. A loose belt may
rotate and produce error in indication during the night.
• Tape the cable about five inches away from the sensor to reduce strain and
enhance reliability.
• Check that clear, strong signals are being transmitted before leaving the patient.

Description
Using a gravity switch, the body position sensor provides a signal that is
directly proportional to the patients sleeping posture (supine, prone, left,
right or sitting). The sensor may be connected to any AC (low level) channel
on the recorder.
