Preparing for Your Type 3 Home-Based Sleep Study

What to Expect for Your Sleep Study

A Type 3 home based sleep study is a portable sleep study for screening Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). It only has a few sensors, and can be applied in the comfort of your own home without the need for a technician. The type 3 sleep study, in comparison to the type 2, is easier to set up and does not require a referral from a doctor. A private fee is applicable.

You can do this by holding the power button for about three seconds. o If the indicator light turns green, the test is complete and you can return the unit to us using the reply-paid postage label included in the package. o If the indicator light is red, please replace the batteries with fresh AAAs and attempt the test again the following night. NOTE: If you return the unit but the test is incomplete, you may not get a valid result, or will need to pay a fee to attempt the test again • If your study is successful, our sleep lab will send you a sleep study report by email within three business days of receiving the returned device from you.
