Brief summary
Enrolled Naïve participants will be randomized to one of two arms, the investigational or control arm. Once randomized the institutions will fit the participant with the procedures outlined in the protocol. Each participant will be required to trial the mask for a period of 90 days. Any Unscheduled Visits or Calls that occur during the participants 90 days documented.
