About This Study
This study is taking place at USC and additional sites around the country. As part of the study, each subject will be followed for 5 years from date of implant. The qualification process includes an in-lab PSG, surgical consultation, and a drug-induced sleep endoscopy procedure. This study will collect pre-operative baseline data including verification of ineffective CPAP treatment, sleep study findings, medical history and subject quality of life measures. In-lab polysomnogram sleep study data will be collected during the 2-month and 1 & 3 year follow-up visits, home sleep tests will be conducted and data collected at the 6-month and 2, 4, & 5 year follow-up visits.
