Testing process is time sensitive.
You must complete the testing and return the kit within 48 hours of receipt.

Dear patient,
Thank you for choosing VirtuOx for your Home Sleep Test and congratulations on taking charge of your
health and well-being. Your prescriber has ordered a Home Sleep Test (HST) for you to evaluate if you have
a life threatening disorder called sleep apnea, which may cause you to stop breathing while you are
asleep.
Symptoms of sleep apnea may include snoring, daytime sleepiness, depression, and poor concentration.
If left untreated, sleep apnea can cause hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, stroke and even death. The
good news is that there are many treatment options available for patients diagnosed with sleep apnea.
Thank You,
VirtuOx Home Sleep Testing Team
What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea occurs when you stop breathing during the night.
There are three types of sleep apnea:
1) Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – upper airway collapse causing obstruction. This is the most
common form of sleep apnea.
2) Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) – neurological condition where the brain fails to transmit signals
to the breathing muscles.
3) Complex or Mixed Sleep Apnea – a combination of both OSA and CSA
What are symptoms associated with sleep apnea?
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Loud snoring
Choking or gasping during the night
Restless sleep or heavy sweating
Short-term memory loss

Troubleshooting!
If any indicator lights flash yellow, remove the accessory associated with the
indicator light and readjust the item. The light should then turn green after a
few seconds. If this issues should continue, please call Patient Support at

Step 4: You are now free to go to sleep
When you are done sleeping and out
of bed, remove the sensors and the
device.
*Note: Check that the test complete indicator light is lit and green. This
means the test is complete. If the test indicator light is red, repeat the
test tomorrow night. Please refer to next page about Good Study Indicator!

remove the device and all the sensors.
- There is no need to power the device off. The device will
automatically power down.

Step 6: Second night of testing

Important! The Good Study Indicator can only be checked at the end
of a study. Pressing and holding the User Button while a study is in

Good Study Indicator
The Good Study Indicator displays how much good quality data the device has gathered for
an amount of time set by your provider. To view the Good Study Indicator at the end of a
study, first check that the device has stopped recording. Look inside the SpO2 sensor. If the
red light is on, the Alice NightOne is still in recording mode. To exit recording mode and end
the study, press and hold the User Button until the Good Study Indicator flashes.
Once the device has exited recording mode, wait at least 1 minute. Then, briefly press
(less than 5 seconds) and release the User Button again and the Good Study Indicator will
be displayed.

testing packet.
