ResMed ApneaLink Air Home Sleep Test

The ResMed ApneaLink Air is established as one of the most reliable and widely used Type III home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) systems in clinical practice. It provides a comprehensive diagnostic profile by recording five essential channels: respiratory nasal airflow, snoring, blood oxygen saturation, pulse, and respiratory effort. In contrast to newer patch-style sensors, the ApneaLink Air adheres to traditional diagnostic methods, utilizing a nasal cannula and a single respiratory effort belt, which clinicians often prefer for their direct measurement of airflow and effort. Our clinical assessment confirms its high diagnostic sensitivity, particularly its capability to differentiate between obstructive and central apneas, and its validated probability detection for Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR). Its seamless integration with ResMed's AirView cloud platform allows healthcare providers to efficiently manage patient data and generate detailed interpretation reports that meet AASM and CMS hypopnea scoring guidelines.
