Auto Save Profusion PSG 3 can automatically save your work at 1, 2, 5 or 10 minute intervals. The Auto Save feature can also be turned off, but this is not recommended. To set the Auto Save interval, go to Tools > Options > Preferences > System Settings > Scoring.

Using My Workspace My Workspace™ is a feature of Profusion PSG 3 that allows customisation of the position, size and properties of the many windows available as part of Profusion PSG 3.

Default Workspace The default Workspace is loaded when a study is opened in Profusion PSG 3. To save the current Workspace as the Default, select Window > Save current workspace as default. This Workspace will then be loaded each time a study is opened.

Custom Workspaces Customised Workspaces can be loaded by selecting Window > Load Workspace and choosing the required Workspace. The Workspace can then be adjusted, or a new Workspace created and saved. To save a custom Workspace, select Window > Save Workspace and choose one of the four Workspaces.

Before You Start

Mouse scroll wheel: Use the scroll wheel on your mouse to move forward and backward through pages. Enter key:

Realigns the display to line up with the epoch markers. For example, if the arrow keys have been used to move a few seconds forward while sleep staging, pressing Enter will move the display back to the start of the epoch so that sleep staging can continue based on 30 second epochs.

A page refers to the displayed number of epochs in a window as determined by the timebase. For example, if the focus is on a pane with a timebase set at 5 minutes, the page forward command will display the next 5 minutes of data.

Automatic Paging Click one of the Automatic Paging icons: Forward Backward The trace display will automatically move forward or backward by one page at a time.

Automatic Scrolling Click one of the Automatic Scrolling icons: Forward Backward The trace display will automatically scroll forward by one second at a time. The speed of automatic paging and scrolling is set by the drop down list:

Automatic paging and scrolling can be stopped by clicking the icon again, or pressing the Spacebar.

Data Sets When a study is analysed, the scored data (sleep staging, arousals, respiratory events, limb movements etc) is saved as a Data Set. This is a separate file that contains all scoring data. After a study has been scored, another Data Set can be created. The original Data Set is saved. There is no limit to the number of Data Sets that can be created for a study. A Data Set is created if Online Analysis (manual or automatic) was performed. When reports are generated, the statistics will be calculated from the open Data Set. The Scoring Comparison 124 tool allows two different Data Sets to be compared for training or quality purposes. If a study has multiple Data Sets, the Data Set that was open at the time of closing the study will be loaded next time the study is opened.

Creating a new Data Set To create a new Data Set, select Edit > Score Data Set > New from the menu. This automatically creates a blank Data Set for analysis. The only data retained is information from the Summary analysis (if it has been run).

Selecting an existing Data Set To open an existing Data Set, select Edit > Score Data Set > Select from the menu. Choose the Data Set that you want to open.

Data Set Details To view the details of the open Data Set, select View > Score Data Set > Details from the menu. The only detail that can be edited is the Comments field, which can be used to enter information about the Data Set.

Deleting a Data Set To delete a Data Set, select Edit > Score Data Set > Delete from the menu. Choose the Data Set that you want to delete.

Importing and Exporting Data Sets Data Sets can be exported for transfer to other copies of the same study. To export a Data Set, select Edit > Score Data Set > Export from the menu. Enter a name and directory path for the export, then click Save. The Data Set will be saved as a Score data file (*.scoredata.xml).

Before You Start

To import a Data Set, select Edit > Score Data Set > Import from the menu. Select the correct directory path and Score data file (*.scoredata.xml), then click Open. The Data Set will be imported and loaded as the active Data Set.

To select a new study location, select the Browse button and select the new drive and path as appropriate. · The list of available studies for the selected location is then presented in the list box. If the study list in that location is changed, for example by another reviewer, the Rebuild Study Index button will update the list to reflect the changes. 4. Double-click a study from the list box or highlight it and click OK to display it.

To open a neXus study Studies stored in Profusion neXus can be opened from within the neXus Control application, which in turn launches Profusion PSG 3 with the selected study, or from within Profusion PSG 3 as follows 1. The Open Study Dialogue Box appears. If Profusion PSG is already open, select Study > Open. 2. Change to neXus mode if necessary, using the drop-down box on the right side of the Open Study Dialogue Box. 3. Locate the patient’s name in the studies list. · Filtering functions are available to focus the search for studies. Options include free-text searching of the patient name, display by status, service type and within a specified time period. · The columns are configurable with respect to visibility and display order. · Where a patient has had multiple studies recorded, all will appear in the list box. 4. Double-click a study from the list box to display it. · Where the study has been previously archived, it will be opened in Read Only mode. · Where the study is not currently stored on the neXus Server, an Unreachable Document prompt will appear, requesting that the media on which the study is

To open a legacy study under neXus The neXus Open Study dialogue is used to view neXus studies. If a legacy study needs to be viewed, change the Open Study dialogue as follows: 1. Close all open neXus studies. 2. Select Study > Open. 3. Change to Legacy Mode using the mode dropdown box on the right side of the study list. 4. Locate and open the legacy study as listed above

Study Details Patient / Study Information To view information about the patient, and general information about the study, select View > Patient / Study Information. This opens the Patient and Study Information in a tabbed window. Enter or edit relevant patient and study details. Click on the main tab to switch back to the rawdata view, or close the Patient Information tab. For studies contained in a neXus database, selecting View > Patient / Study Information will instead display information directly from the neXus Control Patient database module. Refer to the neXus Control Online Help for further information.

Study Configurations To view technical information about the recording, select View > Study Configurations. Study properties and the inputs recorded can be viewed. The Scoring Mode can be set to AASM or R&K mode. The Scoring Type can be changed for Adult, Child or Infant sleep staging. The Notch filter frequency can be changed, but this would not normally be necessary unless the notch filter was not properly configured in PSG Config. See the Derived Traces 29 section for details on the options available from the icons at the top of the Study Configurations window.

Check Online Analysis If online analysis was performed during recording (automatic or manual), review and edit the sleep staging and marked events (arousals, respiratory events, limb movements etc). If the online analysis needs significant changes, either change the Automatic Analysis parameters 60 and re-run the Automatic Analysis, or open a new score Data Set 12 to reset all staging and events. Use the Scored Events 103 window to see all events scored. Clicking on an event will take you to that epoch. Once a new data set has been created, any of the Automatic Analysis algorithms can be run. For example, just the Sleep Staging and Arousal analyses could be run.

3.3

Check Patient Calibration If biological calibrations were recorded using the Patient Calibration feature, these can be viewed by selecting View > Patient Calibration. The data will be opened in a new tab, and can be closed after review. If you want to compare the Patient Calibration data to sections of the sleep study, right-click the title of the Patient Calibration tab and select New Horizontal Tab Group. This will position the Patient Calibration and Sleep Study data side-by-side.
