## Indications for use
The Nox RIP Belts are intended for measuring of respiratory effort signals. They function as accessories for sleep/polysomnography (PSG) systems. The Nox RIP Belts are indicated for use on patients greater than 2 years of age. The intended environments are hospitals, institutions, sleep centers, sleep clinics, or other test environments, including the patient´s home. The RIP Belt Cables are intended to interconnect Nox RIP belts (respiratory effort sensors) and Nox sleep devices, to allow measuring of respiratory effort signals. The RIP Belt Cables are indicated for use on patients greater than 2 years of age. The intended environments are hospitals, institutions, sleep centers, sleep clinics, or other test environments, including the patient´s home. The Third Party RIP Belt Cables are intended to allow measuring of respiratory effort signals by interconnecting Nox RIP belts (respiratory effort sensors) and sleep devices with oscillation circuitry capable of measuring inductance between 1 and 5 μH. The Third Party RIP Belt Cables are indicated for use on patients greater than 2 years of age. The intended environments are hospitals, institutions, sleep centers, sleep clinics, or other test environments, including the patient´s home.
