Summary

The purpose of this engineering trial is to develop and validate an algorithm that will deliver Paced Breathing as a ramp feature to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. In this trial the investigators will be evaluating the algorithm's ability to correctly distinguish between sleep and wake.

Conditions

• Sleep Apnea, Obstructive

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Paced Breathing	The Paced Breathing (PB) feature(when activated) will work to relax the user and help them fall asleep by encouraging them to take deep slow breaths until they reach 10 breaths (or less) per minute. The feature will also detect when the subject has fallen asleep so the Continuous Positive Airway Pressur (CPAP) device will automatically switch from PB mode to regular CPAP mode.
