Investigation of the Accordance Between Event Detection of prismaLINE Devices and Polysomnography Using Full Face Masks
Sponsor: Löwenstein Medical Technology GmbH & Co. KG
Summary
Sleep-related breathing disorders are highly prevalent and are usually treated with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. To determine the quality of therapy, PAP therapy devices measure the frequency of residual breathing events. For this purpose, breathing events of different classes are detected, counted and identified. This clinical investigation aims to evaluate the performance of prismaLINE devices based on the accuracy of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) recorded in the devices. During the PAP titration night, the AHI is similarly detected via polysomnography (PSG) device and a subsequent manual scoring of the recorded PSG data. The validation of the device AHI accuracy refers to the alignment with the manually scored AHI. Further goals of this clinical investigation are the confirmation of safety of the prismaLINE devices, the confirmation of performance and safety of LM full face masks (full face masks of the manufacturer Löwenstein Medical Technology), as well as the investigation of the influence of LM full face masks on therapy quality. The most relevant inclusion criteria are diagnosis of a sleep-related breathing disorder and indication for therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Treatment takes place with prismaLINE PAP therapy devices in combination with LM full face masks.
