Summary

This trial evaluates the ExVent accessory for the O2Vent Optima MAD device, which helps reduce sleep apnea symptoms with oral EPAP.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 22 or older with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, who have been using the O2Vent Optima device regularly. Participants must not be in other studies, pregnant, or have conditions affecting oral appliance use. They should not have had significant weight changes recently and must avoid high caffeine or alcohol intake.
What is being tested?
The study tests the ExVent accessory used with the O2Vent Optima mouthpiece for treating sleep apnea. The ExVent provides oral EPAP to support airways during sleep, potentially improving on existing nasal EPAP devices' mechanisms.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, similar devices can cause discomfort in the mouth or jaw, increased salivation or dryness, and potential irritation of oral tissues.
