Instructions for Use
Introduction
The ExVent
be used with the O2Vent Optima
Professional will determine
if using the ExVent
is right for you.
Why might ExVent be needed?
The ExVent provides the airway with extra, mild "end of breath"
support, also known as Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP).
How does it work?
The ExVent is inserted into the extended airway of the O2Vent
Optima (not compatible with the O2Vent Optima Mini, as it does
not have an extended airway). The ExVent includes a valve with air
holes. This valve opens and closes as you breathe.
Figure 1: ExVent – breathing in
Upon breathing in,
the ExVent's valve
fully opens which
allows for the free
flow of air into the
airway.
Figure 2: ExVent – breathing out
When breathing out,
the valve closes,
directing your breath
through the air holes
in the valve. This
creates EPAP.
The ExVent offers three different levels of airway support: low,
medium and high. This refers to the amount of airway pressure the
ExVent generates. Talk to your Healthcare Professional about which
strength to use when starting treatment with ExVent.
Indications for use
The ExVent is an optional accessory to be used with the O2Vent
Optima device in adult patients with mild to moderate obstructive
sleep apnea.
The O2Vent Optima is a removable medical device that is fitted in
the patient's mouth and is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring
and mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The device
is indicated for use during sleep to aid in the treatment of
these conditions.
