CERESENSO Infant Piezo Beltless Respiratory Effort Sensor – Sensitive, Comfortable Sleep Monitoring
CERESENSO Infant Piezo Beltless Respiratory Effort Sensors offer a highly reliable, non-invasive solution for monitoring pediatric and infant respiratory effort during Polysomnography (PSG) sleep studies. Designed specifically for newborns, infants, and young pediatric patients, this sensor tapes directly onto the chest or abdominal wall, eliminating the need for restrictive effort belts that can slip, cause discomfort, or disturb sleep.
Utilizing advanced piezoelectric film technology, the sensor converts minimal chest wall expansions into clean, high-amplitude voltage signals. Terminated with standard 1.5mm touch-proof Safety DIN connectors, it plugs directly into PSG headboxes (including Cadwell Easy III / Sierra, SleepSense-compatible systems, Compumedics, and Nihon Kohden) without needing external batteries or signal processing boxes.
Gentle, Beltless Design Tailored for Infant Physiology
Engineered to balance high sensor sensitivity with maximum comfort for fragile infant skin.
- Direct-to-Skin Taping (Beltless): Easily fastens using gentle medical tape or hypoallergenic adhesive strips, preventing sensor movement artifacts caused by belt sliding.
- High-Sensitivity Pediatric Signal Acquisition: Responds to minimal chest wall displacements, providing clear signal traces for pediatric Central, Obstructive, and Mixed Apnea events.
- Standard 1.5mm Safety DIN Plugs: Universal touch-proof DIN connectors ensure secure, low-noise connection to standard clinical PSG amplifier headboxes.
- Passive Operation (Zero Maintenance): Embedded piezo elements require no external power, batteries, or interface units, guaranteeing zero setup delays.
Durable Construction & Easy Clinical Sanitization
Designed to withstand rigorous clinical usage in pediatric PSG laboratories and neonatal care units.
- Smooth, Cleanable Molded Capsule: Soft-edged white sensor housing protects internal piezo elements and prevents skin hot-spots.
- Flexible Strain-Relief Cabling: Lightweight, highly flexible lead wire with inline strain relief prevents wire kinking and signal loss during infant movement.
- Reusable & Easy to Disinfect: Smooth plastic surface and medical-grade cable jacket wipe clean quickly using standard alcohol wipes or disinfectant solutions.
Broad Applications in Pediatric Sleep Medicine & Diagnostics
Ideal for pediatric hospitals, neonatal sleep centers, university sleep research labs, and PSG equipment providers.
- In-Lab Infant & Pediatric Overnight Polysomnography (PSG)
- Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Respiratory Effort Screening
- Pediatric Sleep Apnea, Hypopnea & Apparent Life-Threatening Event (ALTE) Diagnostics
- Cost-Effective OEM Alternative for SleepSense 1388 / Cadwell Systems

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does a piezo beltless effort sensor work on infants?
The sensor housing contains a sensitive piezoelectric crystal that generates a voltage output when mechanical strain occurs. When taped to an infant’s chest or abdomen, the subtle rise and fall of breathing exerts pressure on the sensor, creating a continuous respiratory wave trace without needing a belt.
Why is a beltless sensor preferred for infant sleep studies?
Infants have delicate skin and small torsos. Traditional effort belts can easily slip off, bunch up, or cause skin irritation and discomfort that disrupts sleep. Taping a lightweight beltless sensor directly to the chest provides a stable, comfortable, and accurate signal.
Is this sensor compatible with Cadwell or SleepSense PSG systems?
Yes. The sensor uses standard 1.5mm touch-proof Safety DIN connectors that plug directly into AC channel ports on Cadwell (e.g., Easy III), SleepSense-compatible systems, and other standard PSG headboxes.
Does this sensor require batteries or a special interface box?
No. Piezoelectric technology is completely passive and generates its own signal. You can plug the DIN connectors directly into your PSG AC effort channels without any external battery packs or signal modules.
