NCT00906958
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if the performance of the modified AutoSet device is equivalent or better than the existing AutoSet device (VPAP Auto) in the efficacy of the treatment and the subjective comfort.
Detailed Description:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterised by a partial or complete collapse of the upper airway during sleep. The treatment of choice for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP acts as a positive airway splint, delivering a fixed or auto adjusted positive pressure to the upper airway via a tube and mask. The modified device to be assessed in this study will act in a similar way to the existing device, VPAP Auto, but utilizes an improved algorithm which should maintain or enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
