Company overview

Established in 1993, SLP Ltd. has become a leading developer of physiological sensors for diagnosing sleep disorders. The company’s products are distributed to sleep disorder centers worldwide under the SleepSense® brand name and on an OEM basis to many leading sleep disorder diagnostic systems manufacturers.

SLP’s sensors are primarily used in sleep labs, but also have applications in EEG and cardiology. SLP sensors measure respiration effort, airflow, snoring, body position, and movement. SLP’s experienced team has a deep understanding of sleep disorders; the Company products offer the highest performance while addressing evolving technological requirements.

The Smart Sensors™ New Technology

Based on their highly successful sleep lab sensors, SLP has developed a new line of low-cost, home-use, smart diagnostic and screening devices that provide reliable real-time clinical data. These products supply significant information about the existence and severity of various sleep disorders, reducing the need for testing in sleep labs. The simple, at-home devices enable any physician to test for and treat the more prevalent sleep disorders, improving patient well-being and significantly lowering the cost of later-stage testing and care.

The patented, disposable products currently entering the market are:

·      SleepStrip – detects sleep apnea (interrupted breathing during sleep)

·      BiteStrip – detects sleep bruxism (unconscious tooth grinding or clenching)

·      KickStrip – detects periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD)

SLP has twice been the gold winner of Cannon Communications’ prestigious Medical Design Award.

Quality

The manufacturing process is subject to stringent standards of quality assurance.  All of SLP's products are FDA and CE approved, and the company has been granted the ISO 9001: 2000 and ISO 13485: 2003.

Approach to market

Understanding the importance of direct contact with customers and the need to establish brand recognition for its products, SLP formed a subsidiary in the United States. The subsidiary (SLP Inc.) is responsible for managing the OEM business and the distribution of SleepSense products in North America. The company is also responsible for the distribution of SLP's in home screening products.

Market status

SLP continually upgrades its existing sensors, providing effective innovations to meet evolving market needs. The Company’s sleep lab sensors have been sold worldwide since 1994 and have gained a high level of market use and recognition. The Company is now focused on expanding its world-wide presence for these and its home-use screening products under the SleepSense brand name.
