BACKGROUND The NIMH is the Federal agency responsible for conducting and supporting research on the brain and mental disorders. This research brings hope and effective treatments to the millions of people who suffer from mental disorders, which also benefit their families and friends. Thus, communicating research through distribution of NIMH printed materials provides information to the public and to the professionals who provide for their care. The NIMH sleep service currently does not have a TcCO2 monitor that may be used concurrently with PAP machines and ventilators or that is a reliable for measuring TcCO2 during pediatric studies during in-lab sleep studies.

Additionally, the SenTec Digital Monitoring System (SDMS) is compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing equipment, Nihon Kohden Sleep/EEG Systems and coordinates, connects and interfaces with the existing systems by 3.5mm stereo connector cable.
