Does CPAP work to treat my sleep apnea? In addition to checking the AHI in the CPAP report, blood oxygen level is also one of the important data showing whether sleep apnea is under control. In general, an average blood oxygen level is above 90%, and the AHI is less than 5 times per hour, indicating that the CPAP therapy is at an ideal level; otherwise, you may need to adjust the air pressure setting of the CPAP, or find out whether the CPAP mask and accessories are damaged and cause air leakage. Therefore, it is recommended that CPAP users undergo a oximetry test once a year to confirm that they are receiving proper and ideal treatment.

Home Sleep Testing Services - FAQs

1. Why choose home sleep testing services?

In the past, Hong Kong people could only take sleep tests in the hospital, but many people may think that it is unlucky to sleep in hospital bed, hard to fall asleep in the hospital, cannot make time to spend a night in the hospital, the price of sleep tests in the private hospitals in Hong Kong is expensive, long waiting times for sleep tests in the public hospitals in Hong Kong, or many other factors caused them gave up taking sleep tests and their sleep health. As a result, their health problems are not treated in time, causing other chronic diseases, and even worsening existing chronic diseases like high blood pressure.

Home sleep test allows patients to complete the sleep studies in a familiar environment and the comfortable bed at their own home, which not only easier for them to accept, but also helps the data recorded from the sleep studies to be more accurate and more able to reflect the patients’ daily sleep conditions. In addition, the price of a sleep test at home is much cheaper than the private hospitals. The price of a home sleep test is only a few thousand dollars, but the price of a sleep test in a private hospital can be as high as tens of thousands, because the price of a sleep test in a private hospital includes the expenses such as hospital’s room charges and the daily doctor’s ward round fee. Even if you have purchased health insurance, extra charge may be added to the subscription fee later because of the previous claims. After all, you may think of going to a public hospital for a sleep test. The price of a sleep test in a public hospital is undoubtedly the most economical choice, however, not every public hospital in Hong Kong provide sleep studies, the waiting time for sleep studies in public hospitals in Hong Kong can be as long as 1-2 years. Therefore, home sleep testing services would be able to help those in need to know their own sleep health conditions and get proper treatment as early as possible.

2. There are many companies in Hong Kong provide home sleep testing service, how should I choose?

When you choosing home sleep testing services on the market, you should not only focus on the price, the specifications of the sleep test device, and the recognition of the sleep test result in Hong Kong are also very important. Do not try to choose the sleep test device that does not meet the international standards, which may eventually lead you to start an inappropriate or unnecessary treatment due to the wrong sleep test data and result.

According to the guidelines of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the specifications of the sleep test device can be divided into 4 categories. Type 1 is mainly used under the technicians’ support in hospitals and sleep labs, generally known as polysomnography (PSG). Type 2 also belongs to PSG, but it can be used outside hospitals and sleep labs, using portable sleep test device, and there is no mandatory requirement to use it under the technicians’ support. Type 3 also using portable sleep test devices, but different from PSG, most of these devices cannot record sleep cycles, and can only measure some physiological data for the diagnosis of certain sleep diseases, such as airflow, heart rate, blood oxygen level, volume and frequency of snoring, etc. The final one is type 4, the data measured by this type of sleep test devices can be used for reference only, and the result cannot be used for diagnostic purposes.

Next, you also need to know whether the sleep test result has been reviewed by Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) and confirmed by a Hong Kong specialist. Through this two-factor authentication which can make sure that the result of the sleep test is accurate, and you must have a doctor’s prescription before starting treatment, in order to purchase CPAP and other kind of medical equipment. Some companies operating with bad practices may sell related medical equipment to customers who have no doctor’s prescription.

5.What are the considerations for taking a sleep quality test?

On the day of the sleep quality test, please try to avoid drinking caffeinated and alcoholic beverages to prevent difficulty falling asleep at night and affecting the accuracy of the sleep test. If you are taking any medication, please inform the technician before the sleep quality test. It may be necessary to temporarily stop taking the relevant medication on the night of the test, and record it for review by the registered sleep technologist (RPSGT) and Hong Kong specialist doctors. During the sleep quality test, it is recommended to wear loose and comfortable clothing, and complete it in a good sleep environment, such as turning off the bedroom lights or turning on the air conditioning to keep the bedroom temperature cool and dry, so that the sleep quality test can be performed comfortably. In addition, you should also drink less water before bed to avoid to the bathroom in the middle of the night, because the sleep test generally needs to continuously record for 4 hours or more to obtain sufficient and accurate data for medical staff to analyse. Finally, if you catch a cold or feel unwell on the day of the sleep quality test, please do not force yourself to complete it. You should call your Hong Kong sleep test company to reschedule the sleep test after recovery.

6.Who are not suitable for taking a home sleep test?

Home sleep tests are generally safe for most people, but there are indeed some people who may not be suitable for home sleep tests. Firstly, infants and children may have potential safety hazards as there are no professional technicians present to accompany and observe them during the home sleep test. Secondly, if you have heart disease, stroke, severe respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, etc.), severe mental illnesses (such as chronic insomnia, sleepwalking, etc.), neuromuscular diseases (such as spasms, epilepsy, etc.), or other severe health problems, you should consult a doctor before taking a home sleep test to assess whether it is suitable to complete the test at home, or whether you need to arrange a sleep test at the hospital. If you have any doubts or questions, you can also call your Hong Kong sleep test company or inform the technician beforehand to dispel your concerns and allow you to take the sleep test with peace of mind.

7.How long does a home sleep test usually take in Hong Kong?

The duration of a sleep test typically depends on the equipment used and the purpose of the test. Generally, most sleep tests require subjects to have at least 4-5 hours of sleep time to collect sufficient data. The specific duration may vary depending on the participants’ sleep habits. Sleep test subjects should avoid any activities that may affect sleep during the test, such as going to the bathroom or drinking water. Therefore, test participants should avoid drinking too much water or beverages and use the bathroom before the sleep test to prevent any equipment falling off during the test, which may affect the results of the test.

8.After completing a home sleep test, how long will it take for me to know if the data is sufficient and how long will it take to receive the test result?

For professional sleep tests and monitoring equipment, the adequacy of data sampling can be immediately determined upon returning the testing device. If the sleep test subject fails to follow the preparatory instructions in advance or exhibits abnormal behaviour during the testing process, leading to failed data sampling, the test subject may need to pay extra to repeat sleep test on their own.

Once sufficient sleep test data is collected, it will be immediately handed over to professionals for detailed interpretation and report writing. The entire data analysis and report writing process typically takes 5-7 working days. Once the report results are released, we will contact the participate as soon as possible to retrieve the report and provide appropriate treatment plans based on the report results of the sleep disorder and sleep quality test.

9.Will the home sleep test equipment affect my sleep quality?

Whether home sleep test equipment will affect sleep quality mainly depends on the design of the equipment and the test participant’s adaptability. Sleep test equipment is generally designed to be lightweight and comfortable, with the aim of minimizing the impact on the test subject's sleep quality. However, for test participants who are sensitive to the sleep environment, even the smallest device may affect their sleep quality.

During the sleep test, some people may feel uncomfortable or anxious due to the presence of the equipment, which may affect their sleep quality. Before use, it is recommended that users follow the advice and careful guidance of professionals to stay relaxed during the test and minimize the interference of the equipment on sleep. In summary, although sleep test equipment itself may have a certain impact on some users, through proper selection and use, the impact on sleep quality during testing can be minimized.

When you choose to do a professional sleep test in Hong Kong, the testing facility generally does not require the test participant to purchase the testing equipment themselves. In our company, in addition to the sleep test fee, all necessary equipment will be provided on a rental basis, and the test subject only needs to pay a deposit with cash.
