Sleep Apnea Test Bangalore

What Is a Level 3 Home Sleep Study?

A Level 3 sleep study, also called a Home Sleep Apnea Test or HSAT, is an overnight respiratory monitoring test used to assess signs of obstructive sleep apnea in suitable adults.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly reduces or stops during sleep because the upper airway becomes narrowed or blocked.

Unlike Level 1 or Level 2 polysomnography, a standard Level 3 test mainly records breathing and oxygen-related signals. It does not generally record EEG brain activity and therefore cannot provide the same detailed sleep-stage analysis as comprehensive polysomnography.

What Does the Home Sleep Study Record?

The signals recorded depend on the device configuration and may include:

AHI estimates how frequently apnea and hypopnea events occur during the recording. ODI estimates how often the oxygen level falls by a defined amount. The findings should be reviewed by an appropriately qualified clinician together with your symptoms and medical history.

Who May Be Suitable for This Test?

This Level 3 home sleep apnea service is offered for adults aged 18 years and above. Pediatric sleep testing should be arranged under specialist guidance.

What Is Included?

The standard home service therefore costs ₹5,000: ₹4,000 for the test and ₹1,000 for the biomedical engineer home visit.

How the At-Home Sleep Apnea Test Works

1. Book the test

   Call or message Okto Healthcare and share your pin code and preferred test date.

2. Home visit

   A biomedical engineer brings the Level 3 monitor to your home at the confirmed time.

3. Guided fitting

   The engineer explains the sensors, correct fitting and basic recording precautions.

4. Overnight recording

   Wear the monitor during your normal sleeping period. Six to eight hours of usable recording is preferred.

5. Collection and report

   The device is collected, the data is verified and the digital report is generally shared within 24–48 hours.

Setup, Hygiene and Recording Guidance

Okto Healthcare provides sanitized sleep-study equipment and technical guidance. This service does not replace a medical consultation. Diagnosis, prescription and treatment decisions remain with your treating doctor.

When May a Level 3 Test Not Be Enough?

A Level 2 or laboratory-based polysomnography study may be recommended when:

• The Level 3 recording is technically inadequate or contains insufficient usable data.
• The result is negative or inconclusive despite strong symptoms.
• Detailed sleep-stage measurement is required.
• Another neurological, behavioural or movement-related sleep disorder is suspected.
• Central sleep apnea is suspected.
• Significant cardiac, respiratory, neuromuscular or neurological conditions are present.
• Your treating doctor specifically requests comprehensive polysomnography.

Okto Healthcare can explain the practical differences between Level 2 and Level 3 testing. Your treating doctor should determine which test is clinically appropriate and interpret the findings.
