Trial summary

This study is designed to determine the effectiveness of two different CPAP devices. One a standard CPAP which has the ability to store comprehensive compliance and efficacy data and the second a auto adjusting CPAP which uses the energy spectrum analysis of flow signals to automatically adjust CPAP pressure and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validation of Customer Requirements for the HC244/HC254

This study is designed to determine the effectiveness of two different CPAP devices. One a standard CPAP which has the ability to store comprehensive compliance and efficacy data and the second a auto adjusting CPAP which uses the energy spectrum analysis of flow signals to automatically adjust CPAP pressure and improve sleep variables.

Read the detailed description

All patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea presenting at the Auckland Hospital Sleep Laboratory and referred for either a split-night or full night diagnostic study, will be offered participation in the study and will be recruited. From these patients, a total of 20 patients that are diagnosed with clinical obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, based on diagnostic polysomnography, will undergo titration with the HC254 Auto CPAP. An additional 20 patients will undergo titration with the HC244 CPAP.

The sleep physiologist evaluating the patient clinically will approach patients for participation in this study during their sleep laboratory visit. Consenting patients will undergo either an initial full night diagnostic polysomnography or a split night study as determined by the physician based on clinical requirements. Patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (AHI > 15/hr) during this diagnostic component will then undergo one of the following:

  • Treatment with the HC254 Auto CPAP during the second half of the study.
  • Treatment with the HC244 CPAP during the second half of the study.

The sleep physiologist will then determine final CPAP prescriptions for all patients based on the patient's response to CPAP therapy.

5 subjects who have completed the HC254 arm of the study will be brought back to the sleep lab for an additional PSG or partial PSG while on CPAP pressure set to 90th percentile pressure determined on the diagnostic night.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SleepStyle 254/244 CPAP series CPAP humidifierDevice

    Therapeutic CPAP pressure will be determined for individual subjects during the titration portion of an overnight sleep study. This pressure will range from 4 to 20 cmH20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SleepStyle 254/244 CPAP series CPAP humidifier in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 2 sites in New Zealand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in New Zealand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) (time frame: At the end of the sleep study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Dec 2008.
