Sleep Diagnostic & Treatment Center

Tests

At the Sleep Diagnostic & Treatment Center, we have brought together a specialized team to diagnose and treat all adult sleep disorders. We offer state-of-the-art options for the diagnosis and treatment of your specific sleep disorder. Our advanced and modern sleep center is located at 3020 Hamaker Court Suite 401 Fairfax, Virginia and is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

We provide complete and comprehensive treatment services for all adult sleep disorders through diagnostic testing such as:

1.     Sleep Study

A sleep study, also known as a polysomnogram, provides the most complete evaluation of your sleep. This study involves spending a night in our state-of-the-art sleep center with your own private, clean, and modern bedroom. A sleep study measures extensive physiologic data and includes your brain wave activity, sleep stages, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, eye movements, limb/muscle movements, and heart rhythm. From this study, you will be assessed for over 3 dozen sleep disorders.

2.     Home Sleep Apnea Testing

Home sleep apnea testing is used to diagnose a person with obstructive sleep apnea. This take-home device is easy to use and comfortable to wear. Multiple sensors are attached to the head. There is also a breathing monitor placed under the nose. An in-depth tutorial on how to use the device is provided by our medical staff.

3.     Multiple Sleep Latency Test

The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) tests for excessive daytime sleepiness by measuring how quickly you fall asleep in a quiet environment during the day. Also known as a daytime nap study, the MSLT is the standard tool used to diagnose narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.

4.     Maintenance of Wakefulness Test

The Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) is used to measure how alert you are during the day.  The test is based on the idea that your ability to stay awake may be more important to know in some cases than how fast you fall asleep.  It shows whether or not you are able to stay awake for a defined period of time. This is an indicator of how well you are able to function and remain alert during quiet times of inactivity.  It is also used to help determine whether a patient is too tired to drive or perform other daily tasks.

Philips Recall Notice for CPAP & Bilevel PAP Machines

Philips has issued a recall notification for a large number of their CPAP and Bilevel PAP machines.

Based on testing, Philips has determined that the type of foam used in these devices may degrade into particles which may enter a person’s airway and be ingested or inhaled into the lungs.

View list of recalled devices

In accordance with recommendations from Philips and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, we are advising patients to STOP using any affected Philips machine or device.

Please contact your CPAP equipment company and insurance company about receiving a replacement unit as soon as possible.

While waiting for your replacement unit, it is recommended that you sleep in an upright or semi-upright “recliner” position at night to reduce sleep apnea.
