Sleep healthcare professionals require reliable, efficient screening devices that capture both oxygenation and positional data. The all new MediOX from BRAEBON Medical Corporation is a cloud-based overnight pulse oximeter and body position recorder ideal for the screening and management of sleep apnea.
Small, comfortable, and accurate, the MediOX is optimized for ease of use for screening and management of sleep disordered breathing.
Intuitive Design and Patient Comfort
MediOX houses a pulse oximeter alongside a body position sensor in a single, lightweight enclosure. The locking connector secures the SpO2 finger probe throughout the night, reducing lead-off events and preserving data integrity. Its low profile and minimal cabling enhance patient compliance, lower repeat study rates, and save valuable clinic resources.
Comprehensive Physiological Monitoring
MediOX continuously records peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, and body position. The PPG sensor detects subtle blood-volume changes, enabling precise heart-rate variability analysis. Simultaneously, accelerometry differentiates supine versus non-supine postures – critical for identifying positional OSA and guiding targeted therapies, particularly important for oral appliance therapy.
Distinct from Oximetry-Only Rings
Unlike popular ring-based oximeters that capture only SpO2 and pulse rate, MediOX’s integrated accelerometer provides real-time body-position data. Without positional context, ring devices can obscure whether desaturation events occur primarily in the supine position – potentially distorting oral appliance titration efficacy and underestimating positional apnea’s contribution to overall disease burden.
Advanced Analytics: Hypoxic Burden Index & BRAEBON Cloud
Beyond standard desaturation indices, MediOX computes hypoxic burden index (HBI) that quantifies the frequency, depth, and duration of oxygen dips to better identify cardiovascular risk. All recordings upload securely to BRAEBON’s BridgeBuilder cloud platform, where clinicians can review comparative reports – baseline versus intervention nights – with side-by-side SpO2 waveforms, oxygen desaturation indices (ODI), and other metrics.
Clinical Applications and Workflow Integration
MediOX supports multiple care pathways:
- Primary screening of undiagnosed patients in primary care, cardiology, or ENT settings
- Assessment of positional apnea before prescribing positional therapy
- Two-night comparative studies for CPAP or oral appliance therapy efficacy
Its robust design and automated reporting reduce manual scoring, streamline workflow, and improve patient throughput – crucial for busy sleep clinics and hospitals.
