CleveMed SleepView
Valley Sleep Center is moving to a new primary home sleep apnea testing device called the CleveMed SleepView. This device is small, easy to use, and is conveniently mailed to you with return labels to limit your back-and-forth travel to the sleep clinic.
SleepView is a small and light weight home sleep testing monitor meeting AASM recommended guidelines. The 8 – channel SleepView is ergonomically designed for patients to perform an easy home sleep test. This device uses sensors similar to the in-lab test but is limited to testing for Sleep Apnea.
Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea are at a significantly higher risk for developing hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and sudden death. Home sleep testing allows patients to be tested with ease in their own homes. Home Sleep Apnea devices such as these do have limitations compared to in lab testing, not all patients may qualify

Not all patients will qualify for home testing as certain medical conditions or sleep disorders will require full in-facility testing. Insurance and Cash pay options are available for all testing, ask your scheduler.
