Any reading other than 0 is considered positive for sleep apnea. Numerous clinical studies demonstrated good sensitivity (over 80%) for mild cases of sleep apnea (AHI<25), very good sensitivity (over 93%) for moderate cases of sleep apnea (AHI<40), and excellent sensitivity for severe cases (AHI>40). It is always important to consider the patients clinical history together with the SleepStrip indication to decide on the course of action to be taken.
