sana health BETA Audio-Visual Stimulation Mask PRODUCTThis document is intended to help new users of the Sana device to understand the device, how to use it safely and to provide other information that may be helpful to gain the most benefit from the device.
It contains important information on who should use the device, how and when it should be used and what to expect during use. Please read this document carefully before using the Sana device and refer back to it as needed.

INTENDED USE

The Sana device is intended for use to enhance rest and relaxation in healthy adults. This may include such uses as:

  • To clear a busy mind
  • To support enhanced rest and relaxation
  • To improve sleep management
  • To reduce feelings of stress
  • To enhance recovery from fatigue
    Note: The Sana Device is not approved by the FDA for the treatment of any specific medical condition.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Sana Device is a simple mask and headphones you wear on your head. The device uses audio visual stimulation to increase balance between the left and right side of your brain leading to greater relaxation. Ongoing use of your Sana mask resembles the effect of long-term meditative practices which leads to a more restful state overall. Sana can clear a busy mind and accelerate mental and physical recovery.

The underlying mechanism of action for the Sana device is Audio Visual Stimulation (AVS), a form of neurofeedback. This is a form of drug-free intervention that has been used for both performance enhancement and fatigue management for decades and has been shown to be safe and effective.
The Sana device contains a sensor that contacts gently to your forehead to measure your heart rate variability (HRV). This is used by The Sana device algorithm. Heart rate variability measures your state of relaxation.

The Sana device is physically comprised of a rigid outer layer that sits furthest from your head, which provides the structure for the device and shuts out most of the ambient light. On the inside of the device, sitting against your skin, is a soft, non-allergenic formed foam that provides comfort and excludes external stimuli during treatment. The HRV sensor is also mounted on this inner surface. Between the structural outer part and the soft inner layer is mounted circuitry and components to store and run the program, and the necessary lights and sound required to deliver it. The Sana device is controlled by an ‘app’, allowing you to log your progress. The app connects to the device via standard Bluetooth connection. Finally, the device contains a small rechargeable battery used to power the device. The Sana device is supplied with a standard micro-USB cable, which can be plugged into a normal 110V outlet connection to enable re-charging.

PACK CONTENTS

Your Sana device will be supplied pre-packaged in a re-usable carrying case. The case will contain:

  • One Sana with head-strap pre-fitted
  • One charger (Micro USB, max 5V; 1.2A output). Only use supplied charger to charge device.
  • One information card – please keep this for refernece
  • One Quick Start Guide
  • One set of headphones with standard plug-in jack. You may use your own headphones or the ones supplied. Cordless (Bluetooth) headphones cannot be used.

  • CAUTION : Use both headphone earbuds for maximum therapeutic effect
  • CAUTION : Do not disassemble the device
  • CAUTION : To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
  • CAUTION : Use of the device may make you drowsy. Avoid driving or operating machinery immediately after use until you understand how the device affects you. Use of alcohol or other substances that may affect concentration may increase drowsiness. Avoid or limit alcohol or use of substances known to impede function when using the device. Consult your physician before using this device with prescription drugs that may impact concentration or balance.

INTENDED USERS

The Sana device is intended for use by generally healthy adults who wish to improve their ability to rest, relax, or improve their sleep habits. The Sana device is intended for use at home, or when traveling, such as on airplanes and hotel rooms.

RISKS AND BENEFITS

The Sana device has been in development for over twenty (20) years, and no known serious risks have been identified. If you have concerns about the safety of the device, or you feel unwell during or after use, you should discontinue use immediately and contact Sana Customer Success at 720-310-3370 or support@sana.io.
Stopping use of the Sana device mid-way through a therapy session has no known risks. You should stop using the device immediately if you are concerned or feel unwell; you do not need to wait for the session to end.

During a session, you should expect to see pulses of amber light through your closed eyelids and hear pulses of sound through the headphones. The speed, patterns and sequence of these pulses of light and sound will vary through the 16-min program. The program starts relatively fast and then progressively slows through the 16 minutes.
Some people feel relief on first use, while others require up to 5 session until your brain patterns get used to the device audio-visual inputs. This is quite normal, and each individual varies. During this training process, the brain will often optimize balance, hearing and visual processes – this can feel a little unsettling, a bit like stepping off a boat onto dry land. This is normal, and by the fifth use should have gone away. If at any point it feels too much, or if these feelings don’t go away, please discontinue use and contact Sana Customer Success for advice.
The soft cushion that sits against your face is made of fabric-covered polyurethane foam in regular use in consumer electronics and wearable devices. It is very unlikely that you will have any reaction to this material, but if you do; discontinue use and contact Sana Customer Success.
The sound is delivered through headphones. You may use the ones supplied or your own. You can adjust the volume. The maximum sound level is limited to 60dB (maximum normally available through commercial earphones), which is well within levels that are normally considered safe to your hearing.
The light is transmitted at low frequency (0.5Hz – 10Hz). The maximum intensity of light is around 35LUX
(similar to the very edge of a candle flame). You can adjust how bright the light is. By contrast a bright summer day can exceed 32,000LUX. Vision damage from bright lights is complex and cannot be easily assigned a value of LUX, but generally intensities of less than 5,000 LUX are considered very low risk of causing damage to your eye.
The device is manufactured in the USA.

PROPER USE AND USE SITUATIONS FOR THE DEVICE

The Sana device is intended to be comfortable to wear and should be used in a place where you feel relaxed and at ease. Use the device in a comfortable location where you can safely have both hearing and sight interrupted, such as a lounge chair or your bed. You should remove eye-glasses and other bulky headwear prior to using the device.
The device may make you sleepy, so make sure the location is comfortable and safe for you to relax and potentially fall asleep. Please do take the time to adjust the device and your position for comfort and relaxation. We advise you to be in a quiet place of rest, such as a comfortable chair or your bed, ideally reclined to at least 30- degrees and with your head and neck supported…. Anywhere you might normally go to take a nap.

You may use the device as often as you like. We recommend that you use the device any time you feel overly fatigued.
The device also helps relax you towards sleep. Sleep is very important to all of us. We recommend you use the device in bed each night right before you want to go to sleep. If you wake in the night, you may use the device to help you get back to sleep.
WARNING: Do not use device when in a situation where lack of normal vision and hearing may be unsafe, such as driving or walking
WARNING: Do not wrap headphones around neck – choking hazard
CAUTION: To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. CAUTION: Use of the device may make you drowsy. Avoid driving or operating machinery immediately after use until you understand how the device affects you. Use of alcohol or other substances that may affect concentration may increase drowsiness. Avoid or limit alcohol or use of substances known to impede function when using the device. Consult your physician before using this device with prescription drugs that may impact concentration or balance.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES FROM USE OF THE DEVICE

The Sana device is intended for use by generally healthy adults who wish to improve their ability to rest, relax, or improve their sleep habits. The Sana device is intended for use at home, or when traveling, such as on airplanes and hotel rooms.
Expected benefits include improved sleep management, calmer thoughts, with a quieter mind, enhanced rest and ability to relax, reduction in feeling of stress and enhanced ability to recover from fatigue.
You should see benefit within the first few uses of the device. The effects may last longer and be more effective over time, so continued and regular use of the device is important.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In 1992, Richard Hanbury, the now-CEO of Sana Health, suffered a near-fatal car crash in Yemen, which left him paralyzed. 14-months later he was given less than 5 years to live due to severe chronic nerve pain that was debilitating both recovery and sleep quality.
Richard experienced by chance the “flow state” effect whilst in hospital and has since devoted some 24-years to researching, developing and optimizing the algorithms that reliably recreate this “flow state”. This is the technology built into the Sana device and has been developed in conjunction with multiple pain management facilities, sleep management facilities, military organizations and elite sports teams.
During development the Sana device has been used by over 1,300 users. No device related adverse events have been reported. Sana is engaged in clinical trials to investigate use of the device for various conditions. This work is ongoing. The Sana Device is not FDA approved for use in the treatment of any clinical condition, and is intended only for use in the management of rest and recovery in healthy individuals at this time. Please refer to the website for up to date information on recent clinical studies (www.sana.io).

HOW IT WORKS

The Sana device is a non-addictive simple mask and headphones you wear on your head. The device uses audio visual stimulation to increase balance between the left and right side of your brain leading to greater relaxation.
In the early 1930s, light and sound stimulation were reported to change the rhythm of brain activity, termed “entrainment”. Brain activity can be tracked through brainwaves, which represent the electrical firing of the neurons of the central nervous system and can be measured by electroencephalogram (EEG). It is through these electrical signals that the brain communicates within itself and with other organ systems.

  • Delta activity (0.5–3Hz) is dominant primarily during deep sleep
  • Theta activity (4–7Hz) is typically seen in drowsy and relaxed states
  • Low alpha (8–10Hz) is the dominant brainwave bandwidth observed during meditation and the state of turning inward (daydreams, dissociation from external stimulation

Ongoing use of your Sana device resembles the effect of long-term meditative practices which leads to a more restful state overall. Sana can clear a busy mind and accelerate mental and physical recovery.
