Salient Characteristics of WatchPAT 300:

The WatchPAT 300 is an innovative diagnostic Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT) that utilizes the proprietary peripheral arterial tone signal (PAT) to enable simple and accurate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) testing while avoiding the complexity and discomfort associated with traditional air-flow based systems. The WatchPAT series has independent peer reviewed research that demonstrates accuracy very close to in-lab sleep studies and they have been listed by name as meeting the technology parameters proposed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The system will be used to monitor patients’ response to mandibular advancement devices used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep breathing disorders in previously diagnosed patients. The system will not be used to screen for or diagnose sleep breathing disorders. The WatchPAT 300 must provide the following:

FDA approved as a Type II or Type III unattended sleep testing device.

Data output must include sleep time, airflow/respiratory effort (AHI/RDI), obstructive disturbance index (ODI), pulse oximetry data (lowest desaturation percentage (lowest pO2) and time spent with pO2 below 88%), cardiac data (heart rate), actigraphy/body position statistics, and snoring level (dB).

HSATs that require the use of reusable respiratory effort belts that must be laundered between patients will not be considered.

Data output highly correlates to PSG data (in-lab sleep study) and this correlation must be confirmed through independent scientific research that has been published in peer reviewed scientific journals.

Software must be capable of processing data and producing reports without access to the internet.

Software that requires internet or cloud access to function does not meet current CCB cybersecurity requirements for DoD networks.

HSATs that require additional purchase of a subscription for independent interpretation of data by a contracted sleep physician will not be considered.
