Sleep Study
HST (Home Sleep Tests) can be carried out on request
Our Patient care specialist will arrange a time that suits the patient to visit the home and demonstrate the operation of the equipment
Full training will be given to ensure an accurate and efficient sleep study is carried out at home for the patient.
Raw sleep study data is then sent to our independant sleep physiologist who scores the study to Irish Sleep Society guidelines and returns the scored sleep study to the prescribing physician.
