Side by side

Falcon PSG, Falcon HST and Somfit compared

A short summary. We discuss which system suits your patients before you order.

Sleep systems side by side: patient, use, channels, measurements, who applies the sensors and software
System	Patient and indication	Where used	Channels	What is measured	Who applies the sensors	Software
Falcon PSG	Adults without significant comorbidity. Not for newborns, infants or children.	At home, in hospital or another environment, under the direction of a physician, technologist or clinician	6 differential and 10 referential channels, plus 1 pressure channel and 2 inductive bands	EEG, EOG, EMG and ECG, airflow, respiratory effort (thorax and abdomen), position, sound and saturation	The patient or a healthcare professional	Profusion Sleep from version 5.1
Falcon HST	Indication and patient group: see the manufacturer’s instructions for use. We discuss them with you beforehand.	At home	2 high-speed channels and 1 AUX channel, plus ECG, pressure and 2 inductive bands	EEG, EOG or EMG (2 channels), ECG, pressure-based airflow, respiratory effort (thorax and abdomen), position and movement, saturation	The patient	Profusion Sleep 5 (Falcon HST Edition) or neXus 360
Somfit	Suspected sleep apnoea (one night), or insomnia or a circadian rhythm disorder (7 nights)	At home	EEG 1, EMG 1 and EOG 2. Not a full polysomnography.	EEG, EOG and EMG, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, peripheral arterial tone, movement, snoring, ambient light and head position, with an automatic hypnogram	The patient, with a self-adhesive electrode on the forehead	neXus 360 and ProDigi PSG
Somfit Pro	Suspected sleep apnoea (one night)	At home	As Somfit, plus the Respifit module	As Somfit, plus airflow, thoracic effort and body position. Optional ECG (1 channel) and abdominal effort.	The patient	neXus 360 and ProDigi PSG
Somfit D	Suspected sleep apnoea (one night)	At home	As Somfit	As Somfit, in a single-use version: no return shipment, cleaning or charging	The patient	neXus 360 and ProDigi PSG

Somfit is not a full polysomnography: it measures 1 EEG channel, 1 EMG channel and 2 EOG channels. Falcon PSG records 6 differential and 10 referential channels. With Somfit the sleep physician reviews the measurement. Whether a system suits your patient group is stated in the manufacturer’s instructions for use; we discuss this with you beforehand.
