Thermistor Flow Sensor – Alice 3 or Alice 4

Comprised of three or four heat sensitive elements, the SleepSense respiration flow sensor is placed under the patient’s nostrils and produces a signal that is directly proportional to the temperature changes of air inhaled and exhaled during respiration. The sensor generates a small analog electrical voltage that provides a clear, reliable indication of respiration airflow. The sensor should be connected to the system’s thermal-flow input.
