For the safety of our patients, employees, and the community we are adjusting our office visit and sleep study policies.

COVID-19 Mask Mandate Update June 1, 2021

We are following the State and CDC mask guidelines for healthcare settings. Masks will continue to be required by all vaccinated and un-vaccinated individuals to enter our facility. *CDC guidelines state that fully vaccinated individuals do not have to wear masks in most indoor settings, EXCEPT in health care facilities, on public transit and in congregate settings.

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 of SWFL is using COVID-19 Rapid Antigen testing that is FDA, EUA approved.

WITH THE COIVD-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 of SWFL 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 of SWFL follows all CDC and American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines. Our staff cleans the offices several times a day and there is a mandatory face mask policy for all staff and patients while in our offices.

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.

The technicians are equipped with proper PPE to protect themselves and you. If you are coming to see us for treatment using PAP, the tech will place fresh filters onto your machine, and we’ve added an additional – bacterial filter! 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!
