Brief Summary

During sleep, many people have times when they breathe shallowly or completely stop. If a person stops breathing for more than 10 seconds, this is called an 'apnoea'. If shallow breathing lasts for more than 10 seconds, it is called a 'hypopnoea'. If a person has these events frequently, it disrupts their sleep and they do not awake refreshed. It can also put strain on the heart, leading to cardiovascular conditions. These sleep disorders, usually called 'Sleep Apnoea', can be treated for most people using 'continuous positive airways pressure', CPAP. Current tests for sleep apnoea, usually used at home, are expensive, complicated for patients to use and do not monitor actual breathing. The new test, called Apne-Scan, is very simple and will cost less than the standard tests. It just requires the user to wear a mask, similar to ones used for CPAP treatment, overnight and then send the mask off for data analysis. The Apne-Scan mask, developed with taxpayer funding, is fitted with a pressure sensor to monitor actual breathing. People between the ages of 18-70 who have been referred to the sleep clinic at Royal Stoke University Hospital are eligible to participate in this exploratory study. They will wear the Apne-Scan mask at the same time as their standard overnight sleep apnoea test. The breathing data collected by Apne-Scan will be analysed by Apnea-Tech Limited, the device manufacturers, so that it can be compared to the data captured by the standard sleep apnoea test.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Breathing pressure changes

  The primary outcome of interest is the data capture of the changing pressures in the user's breathing, whilst asleep, as recorded by the Apne-Scan DC1 device

  2 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Comparison between sleep apnoea devices

  2 months

• Severity of sleep apnoea

  2 months

• Severity of hypopnoea

  2 months

Study Arms (1)

Sleep disorder patients

OTHER

The study participants have been referred by a clinician to the sleep clinic for diagnosis of a sleep disorder, possibly sleep apnoea.

Device: Apne-Scan DC1 device

Interventions

Apne-Scan DC1 device DEVICE

The primary objective of this exploratory study is to assess Apnea-Tech's UKCA Class I Apne-Scan DC1 sleep apnoea screening device in assisting a clinical diagnosis of sleep apnoea in comparison to standard sleep apnoea test devices (ResMed NOX T3 and Phillips Alice Night One).

Sleep disorder patients

Eligibility Criteria

Model Details: Participants will have been referred to the sleep clinic at Royal Stoke Hospital for a diagnosis of a possible sleep disorder, possibly sleep apnoea. If they enrol in the study the participants will be asked to wear the Apne-Scan DC1 device to changing pressures in the user's breathing whilst asleep.
