About this study

This investigation is a prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded study. This investigation is designed to evaluate the performance, comfort and ease of use of the F\&P Toffee nasal pillows mask amongst obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Up to 45 OSA patients will be recruited from the Ohio Sleep Medical Institute (OSMI)

Read the detailed description

Visit 1 will involve the participants being consented into the trial. Visit 2 will involve the participants being fitted with the F\&P Toffee nasal pillows mask for use in-home.

The participant will then come in to return the mask (Visit Three) and have a final interview, this ensures the maximum time participants will be exposed to the Toffee mask in home will be 14 ± 4 days from visit two.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Toffee Mask Usability

    Questionnaire on usability during second visit - Subjective.

    Participants rated overall usability of the mask on a 5 point likert type scale ranging from very easy, easy, neither, difficult or very difficult.

    Measured: 14 ± 5 days in-Home

  2. Toffee Mask Comfort

    Determine from questionnaires - Subjective

    Participants rated overall comfort of the mask by indicating on a 5 point likert type scale the degree of comfort they felt. Answer responses ranges from very good, good, neither, poor, or very poor

    Measured: 14 ± 5 days in-Home

  3. Toffee Mask Treatment Performance - Subjective

    Determined from questionnaires - Subjective

    Participants rated overall performance of the mask on a 5 point likert type scale with responses including very good, good, neither, poor, or very poor

    Measured: 14 ± 5 days in-Home

  4. Trial Mask Acceptability

    Participant count regarding whether they would continue using the trial mask if given the choice.

    Measured: 14 ± 5 days in-Home

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Toffee Mask Treatment Performance - Objective

    Objective data recorded from PAP device - Objective

    Apnea hypopnea index (AHI) data extracted from participants therapy efficacy reports was used to assess this outcome. AHI is a measure of disease severity and is used to evaluate treatment efficacy. Data was reported as a "pass" or "fail" based on the change in AHI from baseline to the intervention. If AHI increased by a clinically significant amount (as reviewed by the PI/study staff) this was marked as a fail.

    Measured: 14 ± 5 days in-Home
