About this trial
This is a pre-market study for ongoing product development aiming to explore the usability and performance of the study PAP systems.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
(usability) Comparison of the usability of an investigational component/s of the PAP system to a comparison component/s of the PAP system and/or Criterion Score of 6
Hypothesis: The investigational component/s of the PAP system will be equivalent to the comparison component/s of the PAP system and/or Criterion Score of 6 Subjective usability scores will be collected from participants on each usability item (e.g., comfort, seal, ease of use). Scores will be collected using an 11-point Likert Scale where a score of 10 is considered very favorable, and a score of 0 is very unfavorable
(efficacy) Comparison of the investigational component/s of the PAP system efficacy (AHI) to a comparison component/s of the PAP system and/or clinically relevant data
Hypothesis: The investigational component/s of the PAP system will be equivalent to the comparison component/s of the PAP system and/or clinically relevant data Objective data stored in the CPAP device will be downloaded wirelessly using a computer program (AirView or ResScan, ResMed). An Apnea hypopnea index (AHI) automatically analyzed by the program will be used. Typically, an AHI \<5 demonstrates efficacious treatment.
