The Night Shift strap
should be just tight
enough to prevent it from
sliding around the neck.
Two fingers on each side
should fit between the
strap and the neck without
causing the magnets to release.
Use the numbers provided on the strap as a guide
to help even out each side.

Begin by feeding one end of the strap through one of
the slots on the side of the enclosure. The strap should
be fed through from the back to the front of the device, and
with the ridged side facing out.
Intelligent, Interactive Monitoring
Using the Night Shift:
• Prior to first use, completely charge the device.
• Fit the strap so it is adjusted evenly on both sides. If
worn too tight, the magnetic clasp will detach during
the night. If worn too loose, incorrect positional
feedback will occur when not centered on the back of
your neck.
• Just after you turn the device on, it will provide
feedback to confirm sufficient battery capacity to
record and provide feedback for at least eight hours.
Remember to recharge the battery at least once every
three days.
• When the Night Shift recognizes you are sleeping on
your back, it will vibrate with increasing intensity until
you change position.
• Night Shift records your position, sleep quality, and
snoring so you can print reports to monitor your
response to positional feedback.

Night Shift is worn around the neck; it uses and measures
the effectiveness of vibration feedback to discourage
back-sleeping.
With the straps
evened out, try
the Night Shift on again
and verify the fit is still
comfortable and snug.
Loop the strap back
and slide it through
the retention band. Pull the
strap through the band just
enough to hold it in place.
Repeat the process with
the other side.
With the blue label
right-side up, center
the Night Shift on the back
of your neck. The blue
label must be facing away
from the neck and the On/
Off button facing down.
Re-fasten the
magnetic clasp and
tighten both sides of the
strap evenly, keeping the
enclosure centered on the
back of your neck and the
magnetic clasp centered
on the front.
Once a good fit is determined, excess length can be
trimmed off the ends of the strap. Leave at least 2
extra sizes in case you need to loosen the strap later. The
Night Shift is now properly fit.

Unclasp the strap by bending at a 90° angle, like
snapping a stick. To avoid damage, do not pull apart.
Caution: Replace the strap immediately if the
clasps become demagnetized and do not retain
during the night.

Charging the Night Shift:
Indications for Use:
• See Warnings associated with charging the device.
Device Enclosure
USB Port
Yellow LED
• Remove the black USB cover and then insert the small cable
connector into the USB port of the device.
• Connect the large cable connector into a computer or
recommended USB wall charger.
The Night Shift is indicated for prescription use for the treatment
of adult patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea with a
non-supine apnea-hypopnea index <20, and to reduce or alleviate
snoring. It records position, movement, and sound so that positional
changes in sleep quality and snoring can be assessed.
Warning: Do not wear the device while it is being charged. To
avoid permanent damage: a) charge with a medical IEC 60601.1
compliant wall charger (maximum 5 volts and 1.5 amps), b) avoid
use of rapid or fast wall chargers, and c) do not use USB cables
with exposed wires or bent pins.
• If the device does not appear to charge or hold a charge, try using
a new USB cable.

Strap: Detach the straps from the device. Wash each strap separately
by submerging in solution of 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of mild dish detergent
(e.g. Dawn) per gallon (4 liters) of water. Agitate slightly for one to two
minutes. Rinse with clear warm tap water for one minute. Dry with a
clean paper towel.

Cautions:
Charging
• Change the delay of delivery of positional feedback from
15-minutes after the device is powered on to 30-minutes.
◦◦ suffer from tics or tremors of the head.
• You may initially feel more tired during the day if your sleep
is disrupted while you learn to respond to the vibrations.
• The measured signal will be influenced by a loud snoring bed
partner.
• Do not wear the Night Shift upside down – the reported sleep
time on your left and right sides will be reversed.
• Do not wear the strap too loose – position feedback will be
inaccurate if the device is NOT on the center of your neck.
• Do not wear the strap too tight – the strap may become detached
during the night.
• US Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
• Dispose of the device that includes a Lithium Polymer battery
properly.
• To avoid damage not covered by warranty, keep the device dry
and clean, and out of reach of children and pets.
• Selection of an appropriate pillow for non-supine sleep
may reduce the occurrence of neck, shoulder, or back pain.
Discontinue use of the device and contact your physician or the
device manufacturer in case of any significant pain.
Warranty: : Twenty-four (24) month warranty for assembly workmanship and
electronic components, twelve (12) month warranty for haptic motors and battery,
and six (6) month warranty for strap. Warranty does not cover damage attributed
to improper use by the customer. The warranty will be voided if an attempt is
made to open the enclosure or change the battery. The strap should be inspected
regularly for signs of deterioration due to normal wear and tear. It is recommended
that the strap be replaced every six months.
The treatment efficacy of Night Shift was demonstrated in a study of 27 patients diagnosed with positional obstructive sleep apnea with a pre-treatment nonsupine apnea-hypopnea index < 20. The results showed:
