Sleep Apnea Testing at Home with Interpretation

Do you suspect you have sleep apnea but you don't want to spend a night or two at the hospital for a diagnosis? Are waiting times too long that you just want to get the diagnosis and potential treatment started? Luckily, the world already has moved to Home Sleep Testing as the main method of sleep testing and treatment initiation if required. 

The sleep industry has recognized that more people would be tested and diagnosed if they were in the comfort of their own homes. This thought process has led to innovative and effective home sleep testing devices. The option of home sleep testing for sleep apnea has been proven in many ways to be just as effective as a free-standing sleep center for a diagnostic test of sleep apnea for a majority of the undiagnosed population seeking better sleep health.

Capital Medical Supply offers industry leading Registered Polysomnography Sleep Technicians manual scoring and verification of your sleep studies and a Board Certified Sleep Physician interpreting your test and giving sleep medicine recommendations and diagnosis if applicable.

Please Note

This device is intended for the testing of suspected sleep apnea in adults (18 and over) that DO NOT have co-morbid conditions. If you suffer from health conditions like heart failure, COPD, or neuromuscular disorders, this is not an option for you, and it is recommended that you consult a sleep physician about testing done in a lab setting of a sleep disorder center.
