Why use ApneaLink?

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is recognized as a serious

health problem that impacts about 43 million US adults; 

however, more than 80% remain undiagnosed and untreated.

1

The ApneaLink connects clinicians to their patients by dramati-

cally increasing the number of identified SDB patients through

primary care and specialty referral sources, thereby routing

more patients for diagnosis to a sleep center.

How does ApneaLink work?

The basic ApneaLink is a single-channel screening device 

that uses a simple nasal cannula to record patient breathing. 

It automatically analyzes and derives AHI, flow limitation and

snoring and later automatically generates a simple, easy-to-

interpret report with a color-keyed Risk Indicator for the

clinician to review.

With oximetry, the ApneaLink records three channels of

information: respiration, oximetry and pulse.

Simplicity, cost-effectiveness and state-of-the-art technology combine in the ApneaLink,

the ultimate choice for homecare providers, sleep labs and clinicians. The ApneaLink is one of

the few true sleep-screening devices available for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, pro-

viding the link to an improved quality of life by cost-effectively testing chronic disease patients,

intra-hospital pre-op surgical patients, occupational health patients and other high-risk patients.

The ApneaLink readily transitions patients from referring physicians to sleep centers. 

ApneaLink is portable, battery-powered and user-friendly and will streamline any user’s sleep-

screening process. A versatile tool, ApneaLink can be used in the patient’s home in remote

locations (or any location where patients are sleeping). 

Three easy steps can link you to more OSA patients and, most importantly, provide them 

a better quality of life: 

1 Screening – ApneaLink

2 Diagnosis – Polysomnography 

3 Treatment – ResMed PAP therapy 

ApneaLink without oximetry

The basic ApneaLink is the perfect choice for 

those who need a cost-effective, accurate 

screening tool. Reliable and simple to use, the basic

ApneaLink offers the following features and benefits:

• Add oximetry at any time, no software changes 

required—simply “plug & play” 

• Automatically analyzes and derives AHI, AI and HI, flow

limitation and snoring

• Uses one software set for both ApneaLinks (with and

without oximetry) 

• Auto-generates a simple, easy-to-interpret one-page report

with a color-keyed Risk Indicator

• Can be used to identify intra-hospital preoperative patients

at risk for SDB, thereby improving overall quality of care

• Enables referral sources to easily and objectively determine

whether to refer a patient for further evaluation

• Cost-effectively screens chronic disease patients, drowsy

drivers and other high-risk individuals

• Improves patient care by providing quicker access to the

treatment care path

• Sensitivity 100%, specificity 87.5% at AHI of 10

ResMed ApneaLink Air Instruction Manual

Introduction

Your physician or healthcare provider has given you the ApneaLink Air device to test if you have sleep-disordered breathing. The device collects information related to how much and how well you breathe at night. Read these instructions thoroughly before you begin your test.

Intended use

The ApneaLink Air device is indicated for use by Health Care Professionals (HCP), where it may aid in the diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing for adult patients. ApneaLink Air records the following data: patient respiratory nasal airflow, snoring, blood oxygen saturation, pulse and respiratory effort during sleep. The device uses these recordings to produce a report for the HCP that may aid in the diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing or for further clinical investigation. The device is intended for home and hospital use under the direction of a HCP.
