    Using this was a good experience overall!
    Two notes I wanted to share with other denizens of the comment section, feel free to call me out if either of these seem unusual:
    - A few times, I peeked down during my sleep and found the cannula status light would flash red as I peeked at it. That made me worried my test was in danger of failing. However, whenever this occurred, the green would return shortly after, and I got a green Test Complete light at the end. I... do tend to breathe through my mouth, so it may have been protesting my lack of nasal airflow, haha. I suppose some degree of occasional red lights is normal?
    - I tried to press the status button for too long to turn it off in the morning. When that happened, the lights went out, but when I overstayed the 3-4 second threshold, it came back on. Of course, that's a good feature since it might cut back on times the off button is pressed prematurely. When you see the lights go out, that's your cue to release the button! Then you'll see the test complete light.

    Effort sensor is incorrectly placed under the arm. It should be next to the apnealink air-recosrder. I understand that this is educational video made by people who might not have exact knowledge how to put this on and you should always read the instructions.

      Ummm, a woman's breasts are often very different than a man's breasts. Some instructions (visuals) would be helpful. Many of the women using this device will be overweight and have large breasts. 😊

    First night my husband did the device and the light was red. Replaced the batteries and the second night got up and the light was red again. What are the chances the device is faulty?
    Now after 2 days you indicate in your email that it is $25 late fee for returning after 2 days.
    Sounds like a money scheme to me since the initial charge was 195.

      I just got the kit in the mail. After GP ordered it. I have just read though that is only useful for diagnosing sleep apnea so there are many other sleep disorders that I believe this device would not help with so I’m kind of disappointed and I have not even done it yet.

    All medical devices and advice are still focused on men. Any chance the other 51% of the population can get some instructional materials? Don't know what I expected in a country that just started using female shaped crash test dummies in cars and teaching x-ray technicians what hair bands or extensions look like in images.

    • @resmedanz5242
      @resmedanz5242  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi Andre, thanks for reaching out. The Apnealink will be able to determine results based on a requirement of 4 hours sleep in one night. If you unsure you will be asleep that long, that’s no problem. If we find the results are inconclusive you can just test again. Alternatively, we have another sleep test option which is less invasive. The onesleeptest is worn only on the finger and is used 3 nights in a row to assess your sleep. This might be a better option if you are only able to gain a few hours of sleep at night.

      Hi Brianna! Thank you for reaching out. ResMed designs with the intention of comfort. Although it might be different sleeping with the apnealink, remember this will be the beginning of many better nights rest. If you are concerned that you might have difficult with the cannular wear it an hour before bed. This will allow you body to adjust to the feel and weight so when you are finally read to sleep, you wont even notice it there.
