Study Objectives: To determine if signals generated by a new sleep monitor (Prodigy) are comparable to signals generated during in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG). Methods: Fifty-nine patients with various sleep disorders (25 with moderate/severe sleep apnea) were studied. Full PSG was performed using standard acquisition systems. Prodigy was attached to the forehead with four disposable snap electrodes. Four additional electrodes were attached to monitor eye movements and muscle activity, and to serve as reference (mastoid). One frontal EEG signal was outputted in real time from the monitor and stored in the PSG record along with the other PSG signals. PSG was scored for sleep variables manually, and monitor records were scored by a validated automatic system (MSS) (MSS-Prodigy). MSS-Prodigy was briefly edited following suggestions of an Editing Helper feature of MSS. Results: Technical failures resulted in one study being unusable and another with data for only 3 hours. Prodigy EEG signal stored in the PSG record was visually indistinguishable from the PSG-derived EEG signals. Important differences between manual scores and unedited MSS-Prodigy were seen in a few patients in some sleep variables (notably onset latencies and REM time). Editing Helper issued 2.1 ± 0.8 suggestions/file. Only these suggestions were pursued during editing. Intraclass correlation coefficients for manual vs. edited MSS-Prodigy were > 0.83 for all sleep variables except for stages N1 and N3 (0.57 and 0.58). Conclusions: When scored with MSS, and with only very minor editing, the monitor's results show excellent agreement with manual scoring of polysomnography data, even in patients with severe sleep disorders.
