Nox SAS System Setup Instructions

a. 1x Nox A1s recorder The Nox A1s gathers information that is recorded from the applied sensors. Clips are attached to the Nox A1s for fastening the device to the Neck band.
b. Neck band The Nox A1s recorder is fastened with clips to the neck band for securing the placement of the device on the participant chest.
c. 1x Head cable The Head cable is plugged into the proxy of the Nox A1s recorder and will be attached to the electrodes placed on the forehead. The blue (R) and red (L) connector of the head cable connects to the blue and red body cables.
d. 1x Red body cable Connects to the red (L) part of the head cable and is attached to the electrodes placed on the left side of the body and leg to monitor \\activity from heart and leg movements.
e. 1x Blue body cable Connects to the blue (R) part of the head cable and is attached to the electrodes placed on the right side of the body and leg to monitor activity from heart and leg movements.
f. 1x Nox Abdomen Cable Connects to the Nox A1s recorder. The lower part attaches the abdomen RIP belt.
g. 1x Nasal Cannula The cannula is used to measure air flow pressure through the nose. It fits into the pressure connector on the Nox A1s.
h. 2x RIP belts (Respiratory inductance plethysmography) The RIP belts are made from super stretchable elastics and are used for measuring the effort of breathing. One belt is used for measuring thorax breathing movements and one belt is used for measuring abdomen breathing movements.
i. 1x Oximeter The Oximeter is an advanced wrist-worn pulse oximeter and provides pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation signals.
j. 3x Nox SAS Electrode Bag containing adhesive electrodes and adhesive strips Adhesive electrodes are attached to the body to record physiological signals from legs and heart. Adhesive stripes are used to secure cables and cannula.
k. 1x Cardboard backing sheet The Cardboard backing sheet is used to simplify the setup for the participant by hanging the Nox A1s sleep monitor with the disposable cardboard and all sensors around the neck.
l. Carry bag The Carrying bag is for storing the Nox SAS Kit
m. 1x white bandaid roll
n. 3x single use wristband
