Helpful Tips

  • Watch the video... Twice
    First, watch it early in the day to familiarize yourself with the procedures so you can be prepared for your upcoming sleep study. Then, about 20 minutes before bed, follow along with the video while applying the Zmachine Synergy.
  • Remove nail polish & fake nails
    Sorry, but nail polish and fake nails will interfere with the signals and could make the study invalid. But, this is only needed on the finger you intend to use with the finger sensor.
  • Wear a light & comfortable shirt
    This will improve your comfort during the study, and will prevent the system from sliding down during the night.
  • Review the Patient Guide
    The Patient Guide contains important information and should be reviewed before your sleep study.
