The SleepSense Alice 5 Thermistor Flow Sensor (#1461) is comprised of three thermistors (heat sensitive resistors). It is designed for use with Respironics Alice 5 Systems, and should be connected to the system’s thermal-flow input.

Warranty: 6 Months – Free of Defects in Materials and Quality Workmanship.

The Thermistor 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.

Compatibility: The SleepSense Alice 5 Thermistor Flow Sensor is completely compatible with the Philips Respironics Alice 5 unit.

NOTE: SleepSense items are for professional use only, and are for sale by or on the order of a physician only.
