Setting up

Setting up your WatchPAT One Device

Before you get started with the sleep test, make note of the following:

It is recommended to apply the WatchPAT ONE device to your non-dominant hand (the hand you don't write with).
The probe can be worn on any finger, except for the thumb.
Before use, remove tight clothes, rings, watches, and other jewelry.
Remove nail polish and artificial nails from the test finger and make sure the fingernail is cut short.

Step One: Gather your device materials. These include:

Your phone
Internet Access
Phone Charger
WatchPAT ONE device box
PIN number

Step Two: Open the WatchPAT box. Inside you should see the watch with two cables attached to it and a single AAA battery.

Step Three: Download WatchPAT App from the Apple App Store (if you have an Apple phone or tablet) or from the Google Play Store (if you have an Android phone or tablet).

Step Four: Once the app is installed on your device, tap on the icon for the app.
• On the welcome page, select “PREVIEW” and watch the instructional video before proceeding with set-up.
• Use the prompts on each page and the instructions below to properly calibrate and wear the device.

This will walk you through step by step of how to complete the test using the device.

Here is a link to a video version of the instructions.
Below are screenshots for your reference.

Step Five: You are now ready to start recording.

Press the "START" button then leave the phone plugged in to charge 5-10 feet away from you. You may now get in bed.
If you need to get up during the night, leave the device on.
DO NOT attempt to remove the device or stop recording.

Go to sleep as you normally would.

Step Six: When you wake up, open your phone and select "END RECORDING"

WAIT until the app has finished uploading your sleep data (see the progress bar at the bottom of your screen).
Once you see the "Thank You" screen, you may remove the device.
