Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the subjective performance of the Menai mask systems (full face, nasal, and pillows variants), compared against Comparison mask systems.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will evaluate the subjective seal, comfort, stability, usability, and humidification performance of the prototype mask systems in CPAP established patients. The performance of the prototype Menai mask systems (full face, nasal, and pillows variants) will be subjectively assessed through user questionnaires based on an 11-point Likert scale, and will be compared against Comparison masks.

The prototype masks share the same parts (cushion, frame, headgear), with the difference being that the Menai masks feature a novel vent and humidification system.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Full Face

Participants will trial the same mask type/variant (full face, nasal, pillows) as the variant they are using as part of their current treatment. Participants in this arm will trial the Menai mask (full face) and Comparison Menai Standard mask (full face) for 7 nights each.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Menai mask (full face)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Prototype mask system (full face variant) with novel vent and humidification system

Menai Standard mask (full face)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Prototype mask system (full face variant) with conventional vent and humidification system

Nasal

Participants will trial the same mask type/variant (full face, nasal, pillows) as the variant they are using as part of their current treatment. Participants in this arm will trial the Menai mask (nasal) and Comparison Menai Standard mask (nasal) for 7 nights each.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pillows

Participants will trial the same mask type/variant (full face, nasal, pillows) as the variant they are using as part of their current treatment. Participants in this arm will trial the Menai mask (pillows) and Comparison Menai Standard mask (pillows) for 7 nights each.
