NovaSom Home Sleep TestTest for obstructive sleep apnea in the comfort and privacy of home. The NovaSom Home Sleep Test is a convenient alternative to sleep lab testing that can be performed in the comfort and privacy of a patient’s home, at a small fraction of the cost of a sleep lab study. It is the first FDA-cleared device for home testing of obstructive sleep apnea. The NovaSom Home Sleep Test AdvantageOvernight sleep lab tests are known to be uncomfortable and inconvenient. What’s more, the sleep setting is unnatural and patients may not fall into a deep enough sleep to enable accurate diagnosis of sleep apnea.
Because of this, patients can sleep in whatever position is most comfortable and get up during the night as necessary. The NovaSom home sleep test is also a fraction of the cost of a sleep lab test and covered by most health insurance plans. How Does the NovaSom Home Sleep Test Process Work?
Your physician can determine your probability of having OSA with a simple sleep apnea risk assessment and a physical exam. At that time he or she will determine if the patient is appropriate for home sleep testing. If so, the doctor places an order for the NovaSom home sleep testing technology and the testing device is mailed directly to the patient’s home within days. When the device arrives, the person can test that night. The NovaSom home sleep testing device uses voice prompts to instruct patients on how to set up the sensors and begin the sleep test. The patient can then sleep normally and comfortably in their own bed. If there are any questions, NovaSom has a live 24/7 Clinical and Technical support team available through our toll-free number. After testing is over, the device is shipped back to NovaSom where a report is prepared for the ordering physician. Diagnosis with NovaSom Home Sleep Testing TechnologyOnce the sleep study results are delivered to the doctor, the patient should discuss the results with the doctor, and if positive for OSA, discuss the best therapy options as well. There are many different treatments available today depending on each person’s specific needs and together the patient and doctor will determine the best option. Take the Pledge to get tested, and talk to your doctor about NovaSom home sleep testing. |
