Validation of a novel mask-based device for monitoring of comprehensive sleep parameters and sleep disordered breathing.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to validate the new DormoTech Vlab device's performance, usability, and validity as a sleep test and physiological data recorder. The novel device has been designed for patient comfort, ease of use, and home-based assessment of sleep disordered breathing and other sleep-related measurements.

Methods

Forty-seven adults (mean age = 52 years, 42% female, body mass index 29.4 kg/m²) underwent simultaneous testing with the DormoTech Vlab device and routine full polysomnography (PSG) using the Nox A1 system (K192469, Nox Medical). The sleep studies were manually and independently scored according to recommended guidelines. The primary outcome measure was the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and its corresponding conventional severity level (i.e., norm
