Somnoware

Physicians can now configure AASM-based central sleep apnea (CSA) criteria for adult patients in Somnoware. The new CSA (AASM Standards) configuration allows physicians to set thresholds for central apnea or central hypopnea index and the proportion of central apnea and central hypopnea events. These criteria support the physician's determination of whether an adult study meets the criteria for a CSA diagnosis.

For more information, see Configure CSA (AASM standards).

Somnoware now supports Noxturnal^® 7.3 providing compatibility with the updated Noxturnal workflows and data.
