Abstract
The Vitalog HMS-30G0 home cardiorespiratory monitoring system uses up to eight physiological sensors to evaluate patients suspected of breathing problems during sleep (see Fig. 1, Table 1). The basic monitor, sensor interface circuitry, battery-operated oximeter, and LCD electical multimeter are contained in small (30 x 22 x 12cm) aluminum “lunehbox” [5,7]. When not in use, the sensors, sensor insertion block, and connecting cable are contained in a fabric pouch in the lid of the lunchbox.
