  • Age 21-75 years
  • Predominately central sleep apnea for up to 10 subjects only
  • Willingness to give written informed consent and ability to adhere to visit schedule

  • Have a bi-level requirement, or prescribed a bi-level therapy device
  • CPAP pressure >15cmH2O
  • Subjects with tracheotomy
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
