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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
PAP Treatment Efficacy
The participants apnea hypopnea index (AHI) will be assessed using the PSG data, device download data and the independent pressure-flow logger. The apnea-hypopnea index is the total number of sleep disordered breathing events divided by total sleep time.
After 1 night in the sleep lab and 3 weeks use of the device in the home.
Secondary Outcomes (2)
PAP Treatment Comfort
After 1 night in the sleep lab and 3 weeks use of the device in the home.
PAP Compliance
After 1 night in the sleep lab and 3 weeks use of the device in the home.
Study Arms (2)
Market released PAP device
ACTIVE COMPARATORUse of a market released PAP device
Modified PAP device

Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Aged 18+
- Diagnosed with OSA by a practicing sleep physician
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with a known history of Cerebrospinal fluid leak, abnormalities of the cribriform plate, head trauma and/or pneumocephalus
- Patients with pathologically low blood pressure, pneumothorax, a previous history of pneumothorax, or dehydration.
- Patient with bypassed upper airway
- Other significant sleep disorder(s) (e.g. periodic leg movements, insomnia, central sleep apnea)
- Previous use of a bi-level device with-in the last 2 years (from enrolment date).
- Patients with respiratory failure, bullous lung disease or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
- Patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome or congestive heart failure
- Patients that require supplemental oxygen with their CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device
- Patients with implanted or life-supporting electronic medical devices (e.g. cardiac pacemakers)
