zRIP DuraBelt inductance respiratory
effort sensors

The enhanced zRIP DuraBelt is designed to help sleep lab professionals acquire reliable, clear, and accurate respiratory effort signals.

zRIP DuraBelt offers enhanced cleaning procedures and dual-sided adjustments, a modified robust buckle design, and a woven wire sensor. The sensor belts have been designed for complete patient coverage while providing true breathing movement tracings with no false paradoxing.

The zRIP module is available in a two- or three-channel model. The three-channel model includes a summing channel that can be used to approximate flow.

Features:

  • Enhanced cleaning – use soap and warm water, or one of the more common cleaners used in a sleep lab
    • zRIP DuraBelt may be cleaned with Amphyl Hospital Bulk Disinfectant Cleaner, DisCide ULTRA Disinfectant, or CaviCide when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Dual-sided adjustment to help make initial placement, and adjustments during the night, easier on the patient
  • Robust buckle design to provide increased durability by integrating the jack/connection in one solid interface, minimizing strain on the woven sensor
  • Available in adult and pediatric kits
  • Requires no calibration
  • Compatible with all current PSG systems

Educational materials:

Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) is not new, but is widely misunderstood as the effort signals received on the polysomnograph are vastly different than piezo signals.
