Dymedix Corporation announced today that the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has approved its PVDF technology for use in respiratory effort belts for sleep studies. Prior to this, the AASM had recognized respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) as the only recommended modality for measuring a patient’s respiratory effort. Dymedix developed its Perfect Fit™ Effort Belts working in cooperation with an internationally recognized US medical teaching university.
“The AASM approval is a major milestone for Dymedix,” said Evan Johnston, President of Dymedix. “Previously many sleep labs were hesitant to use a non AASM recommended effort belt. However, the many sleep labs that have purchased the Dymedix Perfect Fit belts have given them excellent reviews. Our belts are of the highest quality and stay in place for the sleep technician thus avoiding the need to adjust the belts during the night’s study. Many of Dymedix’ customers state they have never seen such a clear pencil sharp tracing of breathing effort.”
Because of the rising awareness of the serious co-morbidities associated with sleep apnea, Dymedix is poised to experience significant and continual growth.
Dymedix Corporation is a Shoreview, Minnesota, privately held company, that designs, manufactures and distributes a variety of sleep sensors and electrodes for sleep studies.
