MediOX: Level 4 Overnight Pulse Oximetry and Body Position Recorder

MediOX from BRAEBON Medical Corporation combines overnight pulse oximetry, and a body position recorder delivers robust HBI analytics, and offers seamless cloud-based reporting to enable rapid detection of OSA.

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.

MediOX Key Features 

  • Unique combination of pulse oximetry and body position
  • Simple to use and cost-effective method to screen for sleep apnea
  • Reliable and built on decades of dependable BRAEBON technology
  • Auto cloud analysis and reporting – no manual scoring
  • Monitor CPAP & oral appliance effectiveness and the benefit of OAT on positional apnea
  • Comprehensive pulse oximeter and position report with ODI, HBI, detailed SpO2 graphs, and more

Next Steps

MediOX distinguishes itself by merging oximetry with position sensing, delivering robust HBI analytics, and offering seamless cloud-based reporting. This integrated approach enables rapid detection of OSA, optimized treatment titrations, and enhanced patient adherence.
