Conditions
Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Registration Number
NCT04885062
Lead Sponsor
Belun Technology Company Limited
Brief Summary

OSA is commonly diagnosed with either attended in-lab polysomnography (PSG) or unattended home sleep apnea testing (HSAT). The BLS-100 (Belun Technology Company Limited, Hong Kong) is a novel neural network-based HSAT platform consists of a ring shape pulse oximeter sensor, a cradle, and an improved proprietary analytic algorithm. This study investigates the hypothesis that the BLS-100 is a reasonable HSAT device for OSA assessment.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
  • Age 18-80
  • Clinically assessed and suspicious for OSA
Exclusion Criteria
  • Full night PAP titration study
  • On home O2, noninvasive ventilator, diaphragmatic pacing, or any form of nerve stimulator
  • Having atrial fibrillation-flutter, pacemaker/defibrillator, LVEF < 55%, left ventricular assist device (LVAD), or status post cardiac transplantation
  • Patients taking narcotics
  • Recent hospitalization or recent surgery in the past 30 days
  • Unstable cardiopulmonary status on the night of the study judged to be unsafe for sleep study by the sleep tech and/or the on-call sleep physician

An individual who meets the above criteria but fails to have at least 4 hours of technically valid sleep based on BLS-100 in a diagnostic study or at least 3 hours of technically valid sleep during the diagnostic portion of a split night study will be excluded from statistical analyses.

Study & Design

Study Design
SINGLE_GROUP
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
REI parameters1 year

To determine the overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the BLS-100 in assessing OSA by comparing to the attended in-lab PSG in individuals referred to the sleep labs with clinical suspicion of OSA.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sleep stage parameters1 year

To determine the accuracy of BLS-100 sleep stage parameters to classify the human sleep stage (Wake, REM and Non-REM) by comparing to the classification results of in-lab PSG.
