NightShift with Nonin WristOX – Positional Sleep Assessment System (PoSAS)

NightShift with Nonin WristOX – Positional Sleep Assessment System (PoSAS)

Manufacturer: ABM

The Positional Sleep Assessment System (PoSAS) is a compact, cost-effective tool that measures the effects of sleep position on sleep-disordered breathing, snoring, and sleep quality. It supports personalised treatment pathways by identifying candidates for oral appliance therapy, positional therapy, or combination therapy, with easy-to-interpret automated reports.

The Positional Sleep Assessment System (PoSAS) is an easy-to-use, cost-effective tool that helps clinicians personalise sleep apnoea therapy options based on a patient’s sleeping position. With 29 integrated metrics, PoSAS measures the impact of supine and non-supine positions on sleep quality, sleep-disordered breathing, and snoring patterns.

Designed for use in both diagnostic and therapy-monitoring settings, PoSAS assists clinicians in identifying positional obstructive sleep apnoea (POSA) and optimising non-PAP treatment pathways such as oral appliance therapy and positional therapy. An automated efficacy report condenses results into key metrics, supporting tailored and effective OSA management.

Positional Sleep Assessment System (PoSAS) Reporting

  • Automated calculation of positional oxygen desaturation index (ODI) with both 3% and 4% desaturation criteria
  • Actigraphy-based assessment of sleep time, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset (WASO), and awakenings per hour
  • Measurement of autonomic activation index through pulse rate variability
  • Snoring metrics captured across overall, supine, and non-supine sleep periods
  • Generates a clear efficacy report summarising patient suitability for oral appliance therapy, positional therapy, or combination approaches
  • Integrates easily into sleep lab, dental sleep, and clinical environments
  • Supports pre-operative OSA screening processes. 
  • Identify patients with positional obstructive sleep apnoea (POSA)
  • Support treatment planning for oral appliance therapy, positional therapy, or combined therapies
  • Monitor therapy outcomes for patients using non-PAP solutions
  • Conduct pre-operative OSA screening to assess sleep-disordered breathing risks
  • Provide detailed sleep, breathing, and snoring analysis in clinical and research settings.
