Summary
Brief summary
This study will test the hypothesis that the modified positive airway pressure (PAP) device
for OSA will be no worse than a market released product in terms of its treatment efficacy,
comfort and patient compliance. Patients will have their treatment pressure titrated using
polysomnography (PSG) in the sleep laboratory, and then in a random order will spend
additional time undergoing PSG using both devices, and using both devices at home for 3
weeks. Data will be collected from the PSG studies, device downloads, independent
pressure-flow loggers, and custom questionnaires.
