SleepScout’s role in Dental Sleep Medicine

Friday, February 5th, 2010

CleveMed’s SleepScout is a compact, portable sleep monitor used to aid in assessment of sleep disordered breathing outside the traditional sleep lab: in a hospital setting (with iPSG™), or typically perfect for self-administered home sleep testing (even remotely attended with DreamPort™) right in the patient’s home. But here is another way to use the SleepScout: Dentists with an interest in sleep, snoring (sleep disordered breathing), and remedies for snoring through oral appliances and surgeries can use SleepScout to perform take-home sleep tests for their patients.

    Here’s why the SleepScout is a great option when considering a sleep recorder for the dental office:

  • SleepScout uses AASM recommended Type 3 channel set
  • SleepScout’s accessories are very cost-effective
  • SleepScout can monitor effectiveness of treatment with CPAP and oral appliances
  • SleepScout gives an easy-to-read report with auto-scoring of respiratory events
  • SleepScout records EMG to monitor Bruxism
  • With SleepScout you have next day results

These are just a few reasons to consider the SleepScout, and you can read more details here. Also, see a sample report from the SleepScout portable sleep monitor at www.CleveMed.com/DentalSleep. And if you haven’t seen the SleepScout overview video, check it out!
