Testimonials

• “Treating Complex Patients with VPAP Adapt SV”
  - Dr. Bruce Corser, Respiratory Therapy Oct-Nov 2006

• "We have a lady in our practice that was diagnosed with complex sleep apnea and was placed on the Adapt SV. She was taking large amounts of pain medication that was complicating her sleep. On her first follow-up clinic visit on the Adapt SV, her Epworth score dropped from 18 to a 5 and further decreased to a zero on her most recent visit. She has been weaned off her pain medication and reports that she is sleeping much better and not feeling sleepy during the day."
  - Brandon Butters, Iowa Sleep Disorders Center, West Des Moines, Iowa

• "We had a patient that had 403 central events on his previous bilevel study.  When placed on the ASV he had no central events and his apnea was controlled at 6 cm EEP."
  - Angel Kiger, Providence Sleep Health Institute, Everett, Washington

• "Every patient we have is a success story, it has been amazing."
  - William Maydole, Feather River Hospital, Magalia, CA

John was largely unaffected by either continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel therapy …
