NCT05570747

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Time to Complete Each Setup

    The estimated time that it takes every subject to place the mask on their faces. Average of 3 trials per mask

    Outcomes were assessed on the day of use and only during usage, an average of 20-110 seconds per mask use.

  • Number of Technical Issues That Occurred During the Trial

    The total number of technical issues that the subject encountered while trying on either mask (average of 3 trials per mask)

    Outcomes were assessed on the day of use and only during usage, an average of 20-110 seconds per mask use.

  • Number of Times Subjects Needed Additional Instructions

    The amount of times that the subject needed help from the technician when placing either on either mask. Average of 3 trials per mask.

    Outcomes were assessed on the day of use and only during usage, an average of 20-110 seconds per mask use.

Study Arms (2)

traditional CPAP Nuance mask users

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 tries will be randomized.

Other: Usability

DreamPort-Eclipse mask users

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 tries will be randomized.

Other: Usability

Interventions

Patients will be observed and asked a serious of questions while they put the mask on and after they remove it.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Patients were regular clients at the SCMT offices in Murfreesboro and Clarksville. SCMT patients who were already adherent CPAP users were asked if they wanted to participate in research.

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female ≥18 years old who are impacted by obstructive sleep apnea and currently are familiar with a CPAP device.

You may not qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of any medical or behavioral conditions that would compromise subject safety.
  • Under the age of 18: target for this current version of the platform is the adult population.
