Effectiveness and Safety of cNEP in Ethnic Japanese With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

September 17, 2019 updated by: Sommetrics, Inc.

Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of the aerSleep™ System in an Ethnic Japanese Population Diagnosed With Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cNEP (continuous negative external pressure) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea during two weeks of home use in subjects of Japanese ethnicity.
