According to the American Sleep Disorders Association, sleep disorders cause 25 million Americans to suffer with chronic sleep deprivation. Another 5 million people endure serious sleep disorders due to shift work, and over one million more suffer from narcolepsy. Far and away the most prominent of these sleep disorders is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs in over 20 million Americans. According to the latest government reports, over 100 million Americans complain of some sleep disorder problem Not only do sleep disorders influence mortality rates, they also have an enormous impact on the quality of life.

With the increasing national awareness of sleep disorders has also come a growing need for sleep studies and formal sleep disorders centers. However, setting up a sleep study program can be a costly and problem-filled area for administrators.

important of these are high quality equipment and experience personnel. We will also include billing advice and formulation of customized policies and procedures to ensure that the sleep studies are performed in accordance with the standards set by the American Sleep Disorders Association. Selecting equipment is one of the most difficult decisions involved in setting up a new program, especially when different types of
sleep studies will be required.  Interstate-pds incorporates state of the art equipment in all its test procedures. We are able to provide your facility with a full spectrum of equipment to meet all of your

Full Polysomnograms

We provide an on-site attending technician for up to 10 to set-up and monitor the entire test procedure. The technician will provide a verbal report to the referring physician within 24 hours. In the event of any
severe abnormalities, the physician will be notified immediately. The technician does a complete scoring and provides a written report within 72 hours. We also have the ability to perform a full-attended polysomnogram on an in-home basis.


Interstate-pds uses one of the most technologically advanced polysomnographic systems available today, Healthdyne Technologies' ALICE 3R system, ALICE 4R system and Night Watch TM. These systems record and can concurrently display up to 28 channels of waveform data including electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and electroculography (EOG). The technician can examine incoming data and
adjust individual channel amplitude during the study. These systems also include a feature that allows the clinician to review previously recorded date. The ALICE 3 also utilizes tow separate and unique programs to meet the collection needs of adult data.
