Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Conditions
Brief summary
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.
