COVID TESTING FOR ALL SLEEP STUDY PATIENTS

All patients undergoing In-lab Sleep Studies will be tested for COVID-19. Pediatric patients 8 years old or younger do not have to have COVID test done but they will be screened. Testing will be completed at each of our sleep labs when patient arrives for their sleep study. The Technician will ask a few screening questions and then a quick nasal swab with be taken. Results are back within 15 minutes. Comprehensive Sleep Care Center is using COVID-19 Rapid Antigen testing that is FDA, EUA approved

We strive to provide the safest experience for our patients and staff especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have enhanced our cleaning procedures; we are requiring masks in all our facilities and we are enforcing social distancing.

In the sleep lab, our technicians are taking extra precautions. Our sleep study rooms are disinfected prior to our patient’s arrival and all surfaces are disinfected before and after patient use with hospital grade germicidal cleaner. In the morning, once a patient leaves, the rooms are sanitized once again. Not only are our techs here to help you with your sleep disorder, they’re hard at work keeping you safe during this upcoming cold and flu season!

Comprehensive Sleep Care Center takes their roles as healthcare providers very seriously.  As always, our focus is the safety and well-being of our patients, our employees, and our communities at-large.  We remain committed to providing timely and meaningful advice to our patients, in addition to meeting your healthcare needs.

WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND COLD AND FLU SEASON, WE WANT OUR PATIENTS TO KNOW WE ARE WORKING HARD TO KEEP YOU SAFE.

The safety of our patients and staff is our upmost concern. Comprehensive Sleep Care Center has installed high intensity UVC Germicidal Lamps in the Heating and Air Conditioning ducts in our sleep labs and offices*. UVC Germicidal Lamps have been a trusted method for years in hospitals to help control bacteria and viruses. UVC light is the type of Ultraviolet light that is the most effective at killing germs. UVC light kills germs through damaging molecules, specifically nucleic acids and proteins. This makes the germ incapable of performing the processes that it needs to survive.

Comprehensive Sleep Care Center follows all CDC and American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines.

In the sleep lab, our technicians are taking extra precautions as well. Our sleep study rooms are disinfected prior to our patient’s arrival and all surfaces are disinfected before and after patient use with hospital grade germicidal cleaner. All sleep study patients are COVID tested before their sleep study.

In the morning, once a patient leaves, the rooms are sanitized once again. Not only are our techs here to help you with your sleep disorder, they’re hard at work keeping you safe during this upcoming cold and flu season!
