Every year more than 18 million people are diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the U.S. with more than 40 million suffering from a chronic sleep disorder, according to the National Institutes of Health. Sleep apnea is a chronic condition that requires long-term management and for which continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or APAP devices are prescribed to provide constant, mild air pressure that keeps the airways open to provide a restful night of sleep.
