Rapid assessment of respiratory functions with an appointment within 7 working days.

The cardiorespiratory sleep polygraph (CRSP) test is a non-invasive test performed at home over one night, including a 30-45 minute appointment with a qualified professional. Offered free of charge once for life, it provides simplified access to a potentially health-determining diagnosis.

Designed to detect a range of disorders that often go undetected during the day, this test is distinguished by its electrocardiogram (ECG) recording, a feature absent from the majority of devices on the market, and which has been used on a number of occasions to identify significant cardiac disorders.

The test includes :

Electrocardiogram (ECG): detection of arrhythmias.

Nasal and oral flow: analysis of obstructive or central apneas.

Induction plethysmography: assessment of respiratory effort.

Nocturnal saturometry: oxygenation measurement and desaturation detection.

Two options are available:

Preliminary assessment (without prescription)

Diagnostic study with medical prescription
