Tracking my sleep apnea (Sleep Analyzer -
EU users)
• Sleep apnea detection requires FDA approval in the US. Withings is currently
applying for it and is pending FDA approval.
• Sleep Analyzer has been clinically validated by the CE notified body and is
considered as a medical device.
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly
stops and starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep,
you might have sleep apnea.
The main types of sleep apnea are:
• Obstructive sleep apnea, the more common form that occurs when throat
muscles relax
• Central sleep apnea, which occurs when your brain doesn't send proper
signals to the muscles that control breathing
• Complex sleep apnea syndrome, also known as treatment-emergent central
sleep apnea, which occurs when someone has both obstructive sleep apnea
and central sleep apnea.
You can retrieve sleep apnea data collected by your Sleep Analyzer in the
Timeline of the Health Mate app.
Tap on your sleep item, sleep apnea data will be displayed under your Sleep
score. Tap on See more for more details.
Important:
Follow the guidelines below in order to have a reliable sleep apnea measurement:
• Position the sensor sideways under your mattress. It needs to have full contact
with both the mattress and the box spring/bed platform.
• Place a flat, sturdy object (like cardboard, for instance) between the frame and
the sensor if you have a slatted frame.
