Evaluation of Treatment Efficacy of a Modified Positive Airway Pressure Device to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea

August 1, 2018 updated by: Fisher and Paykel Healthcare
This study will investigate the efficacy of the FPH modified positive airway pressure (PAP) device with or without SensAwake; and with different pressure support in OSA participants; in both an in-home and in-lab environment. Comfort, compliance and the accuracy of the pressure delivery will also be evaluated. The FPH device will be compared to a market released product.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged 18 and over
  • Diagnosed with OSA by a practicing physician and prescribed Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) - (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or AutoCPAP). Participants can be naïve to CPAP or experienced users of CPAP.
  • For experienced users of PAP (CPAP or AutoCPAP): Using the PAP of more than 4 hours/night for 70% during the last 30 days (justification allowed by the investigator)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Contraindicated for PAP (CPAP or AutoCPAP) therapy
  • Persons with other significant sleep disorder(s) (e.g periodic leg movements, insomnia, central sleep apnea)
  • Persons with obesity hypoventilation syndrome or congestive heart failure.
  • Persons that require supplemental oxygen with their PAP (CPAP or AutoCPAP) device
  • Persons with implanted electronic medical device (e.g cardiac pacemakers)
  • Persons who are pregnant or think they might be pregnant.
