Give your pilot patients an at-home testing option with detailed sleep and breathing data and interpretation by a board-certified sleep specialist.
Type II home sleep testing is an accepted study type under FAA requirements for obstructive sleep apnea evaluations.
A board-certified sleep specialist interprets your pilot’s study, with interpretation included in ESD’s testing service.
Patient-applied Onera sensors record sleep and breathing together during an overnight study in familiar surroundings.
Your pilot completes an overnight study at home using the Onera Sleep Test System. Four compact, patch-mounted sensors record sleep and breathing data for specialist interpretation.
Sleep Signals
Brain activity (EEG), eye movements (EOG), and muscle activity (EMG) provide information about sleep itself.
Breathing Measurements
Airflow through a nasal cannula, respiratory effort, and blood oxygen levels capture breathing during the night.
Additional Clinical Detail
Heart activity (ECG), leg muscle activity, and body position add context to the recorded study.
Get a closer look at what your practice can expect from an ESD sleep study. View a sample report to see its format and level of detail, with specialist interpretation included as part of our testing service.
When your pilot needs a sleep study, direct them to ESD’s Get Started page. They can contact our team directly to learn about the at-home study and next steps.
01
Share the Get Started page so they can contact our team directly.
02
We work with the pilot to arrange their at-home sleep study.
03
The pilot receives their completed report and shares it with you.
General turnaround is approximately two weeks. Timing can vary, so pilots with a deadline should contact ESD to discuss their situation.
Yes. Interpretation by a board-certified sleep specialist is included in ESD’s study fee.
ESD sends the completed report to the pilot, who shares it with their AME. The final interpreted report includes a written diagnosis section.
If the device fails or the collected data is insufficient, ESD provides a repeat study at no additional charge.
The study provides information for the pilot’s medical evaluation. Testing and specialist interpretation are separate from certification decisions, which follow the applicable AME and FAA requirements. See the FAA’s OSA guidance for AMEs for assessment and certification procedures.
