PENDLETON, Ore. - TeamCME has partnered with iSleep, a provider of home sleep testing, to make Department of Transportation-compliant sleep apnea tests convenient for DOT medical examiners to order and easy for drivers to complete. “For commercial drivers, keeping up to date on their physical exams requires they stay on top of all health conditions that could affect their driving,” stated Dr. Jeffrey Carlson, co-CEO and chief medical officer for TeamCME, which provides online resources for commercial drivers and DOT medical examiners nationwide to stay up-to-date on compliance requirements. “Sleep apnea disturbs a driver’s ability to get the restorative sleep they need and remain alert on the job. Getting tested and diagnosed, however, can mean multiple appointments and a night in a sleep lab, which means time off the job. Our partnership with iSleep will make the testing and diagnosis process easier.” iSleep offers a low-cost at-home (or in the cab) alternative to a traditional sleep lab test. Certified medical examiners can refer drivers for sleep apnea testing by filling out a form on TeamCME’s website. Drivers do not need a prescription to take an iSleep test; iSleep can provide a testing order. iSleep’s home testing kits are FDA-cleared and meet DOT testing requirements, and drivers may receive their results in as little as 24-48 hours after completing the test.
