SLP has been designing and manufacturing sensors for the diagnosis of sleep disorders for over 15 years. The combination of highly skilled engineers collaborating with world class sleep medicine professionals has resulted in a line of sensors that is truly best in class.

SleepSense® is SLP's brand for sleep lab sensors

Common features of SleepSense sensors:

  • All effort sensors with on-line filter are individually calibrated for consistent sensitivity.
    Rigid boxes enclose the sensitive piezo crystal to provide superior durability, while at the same time
    minimizing artifacts due to stresses on the crystal from non-respiration sources.

  • All sensors use Kevlar® tinsel wire for top strength and flexibility.

  • All crystal belts are tested for consistent phase response to pull and pressure on the box
    (eliminates "inverted phase" artifact if tension around chest is low).

  • All sensors are CE and FDA 510K approved.

  • All sensors were developed and validated in cooperation with the Technion Sleep Disorder Center,
    Headed by Prof. Peretz Lavie.
SLP line of sleep lab sensors include:

Respiration effort sensors
Piezo-crystal, Piezo-film and Piezo-resistive elements, with or without in-line signal conditioning filters or
amplifiers. Air pressure sensors and conductive elastomer with interface circuits. Disposable and
reusable versions available.

Respiration air flow sensors
SLP manufactures thermal flow sensors in NTC, PTC reusable and disposable versions. Also available
are cannula pressure interface with passive design, with internal batteries or system powered.

Snore sensors
We make snore and respiration sound pickups using passive (moving coil), active (electret) or piezo
elements in several configurations. Snore output is also available from out passive flow/pressure interface.

Body position sensors
We offer position sensors with 4, 5 or 8 positions resolution. Output signals vary from different
resistance values, DC voltages, changing frequencies or alternating patters.

Movement sensors
Movement sensors used for monitoring PLMS and other motion disorders are manufactured with piezo-
elements for tremor sensing, Piezo-film and actigraphy (switch) output. Also available are reusable and
disposable sensors using plastic film strain-gauge technology.

Special applications sensors
SLP makes many types of sensors for special applications. To name a few:

  • Finger skin temperature for Bio-feedback applications.

  • Finger pulse piezo-crystal sensor for research.

  • GSR interface

  • Eye blink sensor

  • Piezo eye movement sensor
