Clinical Trial Summary

The study is designed to assess the usability of a novel CPAP human interface compared to a traditional nasal mask. Human subjects will interact with two different CPAP interfaces including a traditional CPAP mask and the 2nd generation DreamPort-Eclipse. Subjects will be requested to put on each of the different CPAP interface options a total of three times for a total of 6 trials. The order of device will be randomized.

Intervention

Device:
• Eclipse novel CPAP mask
Participants will follow instructions to set up and put on the Eclipse nasal mask. The Eclipse removes the headgear associated with traditional CPAP masks, offering a small compact design weighing less than an ounce. The Eclipse uses small and lightweight adhesive seals around the nostrils to create an ergonomic design which accommodates the shape of each individual user. It completes a perfect circuit for CPAP therapy to deliver pressure to the airway and stabilize the user's disordered breathing during sleep (apnea and snoring). Participants will follow instructions to set up and put on the mask. They will fill out a survey about the ease and comfort of putting on and wearing the mask, briefly.
• Phillips Respironics Nuance
Participants will follow instructions to set up and put on the Respironics Nuance, traditional nasal mask. Participants will follow instructions to set up and put on the mask. They will fill out a survey about the ease and comfort of putting on and wearing the mask, briefly.
