SOMNOlab 2 System

Sleep diagnostic system from polygraphy to polysomnography

Its modular concept opens the door to sleep medicine for the SOMNOlab 2 sleep diagnostic system. The compo-
nents – basic device, trunk cable, Transferbox 2 and SOMNObutler 2 – can be combined to expand the system from
simple diagnostics to complete polysomnography (PSG) as required. New technologies in signal amplification, ef-
fort sensors, energy management, data storage, communication and ventilation therapy monitoring provide the
user with efficient diagnostics.

Functions Integrated recording functions

Channel combination in accordance with international
standards for PSG as per Rechtschaffen & Kales and
(optionally) AASM recommendations
Online use in sleep labs and hospitals with wireless
data transfer
Patient-friendly application guidance for outpatient use
Battery capacity display: no loss of data due to
discharged batteries
Sampling rate and filter in keeping with guidelines
The following parameters are integrated in the
SOMNOlab 2 basic device: flow, snoring, cardiac rate,
oxygen saturation, position and pressure.
Four free electrophysiological channels, e.g., for ECG,
for leg EMB and any other configuration
Integrated effort sensor (piezo-crystal technology
– high resolution)
High-quality ventilation therapy monitoring based on
differential pressure measurement
Optional: measurement of respiratory effort with Respira-
tory Induction Plethsmography (RIP) – as of 2010

System components
The modular design of the sleep diagnostic system SOMNOlab 2 gives the user
a great deal of flexibility. Thanks to its components, the system can easily be
converted from polygraphy to polysomnography.

The shelf of SOMNOlab 2 stationary provides plenty of
storage space and quick access to necessities, such as skin
paste or electrode cream. The SOMNObutler 2 mobile is
equipped with a carrying handle and a shoulder strap on
its protective case with room for acessories and consum-
able materials. The portable system can be easily attached
to a hospital bed or a standard hospital rail.
According to a multi-center study*, ARTISANA achieves
quality comparable to the leading European sleep labs.
ARTISANA “copies“ human intelligence and therefore can
be certain or uncertain in its analysis. ARTISANA provides
you with its assessment and lets you decide whether you
want to concentrate on the phases in which the system
was uncertain, possibly because the signals were affected
by artefacts.
