The patented technology provides an innovative "SNAPSHOT" method of capturing and displaying in "real time" the occurrence and tally of apnea events based on defined decreases in SpO2 oxygen desaturation levels.  The unique value of software-based detection algorithms, is that this technology could be integrated into most any patient monitoring device or stand alone monitor that employs oximetry.

SpO2 Refined
Given the recent report comparing home testing to laboratory polysomnography and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' current consideration of changing sleep apnea diagnostic testing criteria to allow home testing, SpO2 may become even more significant in the coming years.
