Imagine a fully-featured
Sleep System that records to your computer without tying patients down
with awkward cables! AURA PSG will make the job of the technician easier
while providing more comfort to the patient and better recordings for
the physician.
This powerful, easy-to-use
PSG system consists of the high quality
25-channel AURA PSG Amplifier System with built-in electrode/sensor inputs
and built-in oximeter designed especially for PSG, and TWin
PSG Record and Review Software. Grass's powerful Panorama
digital video option, FASS Fully-Automated Sleep
Stager, TWin Companion EKG Holter software and
a wide selection of supplies and accessories are also available.

System - reliable, state-of-the-art |
At
the heart of the AURA PSG system are Grass designed and manufactured
amplifiers. Grass amplifiers are world-renowned in the field of sleep
diagnostics for their quality, reliability, simplicity, and serviceability.
The amplifier is designed specifically for the sleep monitoring lab
and combines the latest digital design techniques with decades of
amplifier
design and manufacturing experience.
The amplifier system provides for patient safety isolation, signal
conditioning (physiological signal amplification and filtering), and
digitization. A host computer, using TWin software, starts and stops
the data transmission and monitors the digitized data.
An intuitive user interface with LCD screen is present with the Base
Station. From the Base Station, a user is able to implement such features
as electrode impedance checking and amplifier calibration. Also from
the LCD display the user is able to obtain information such as connection
status to the host computer, and oximetry/pulse rate information when
an oximeter is in use.
Wireless Mode
Using wireless Bluetooth® technology, AURA PSG can be used for
in-lab
and portable sleep diagnostic testing. The lightweight amplifier system
is worn by the patient in a comfortable pouch. Electrode and sensor
connections are conveniently made directly to the AURA PSG. Typical
polysomnographic signals are conditioned and digitized in the AURA
PSG, and then transmitted to the Base Station for real-time data acquisition.
Data is stored directly to the computer.
The 8-channel DCM8 DC input module can be connected to the Base Station
for a total of 33 recorded channels. Analog signals from devices such
as Capnometers, CPAP units, pH Meters, etc, can be connected to the
DC input module. This flexibility allows for wide range of physiological
parameters to be monitored and recorded.
Ambulatory
AURA PSG can also store data directly to a removable CompactFlash®
card
for out-of-lab sleep diagnostic testing. The lightweight amplifier
system is worn by the patient in a comfortable pouch. Electrode and
sensor connections are conveniently made directly to the AURA PSG.
Typical
polysomnographic signals are conditioned and digitized in the AURA
PSG,
and then stored directly to the CompactFlash card. The AURA PSG can
easily be configured to “start up” at a user specified
date/time. Data will
be recorded from that point forward. When the study is complete, data
from the CF card is uploaded via Grass's TWin software.
The AURA PSG Amplifier System can also be used in a tethered mode.
If
tethered, no battery is needed as the AURA PSG is powered by the Base
Station and the data is stored to the computer. |
