Does this thing work?

It seems hard to imagine that this device can run at 9 to 12 cmH2O for any length of time.

No. This rip-off started as "Airing" on a Kickstart funding site that never paid investors a dime, and has not ever treated one individual with therapy that can be documented in even a single independent study and has no FDA approval. Don't spend your money. In fact you this is not a prescription device and if it was I would have been obligated to delete your link. This is a scam. Nearly 2-million dollars raised for this product and nothing for the investors but an empty promise. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/airin...cro-cpap#/

Thanks, when I saw that thing advertised it seemed kind of hokey.

I don't see how there could be enough battery to power that for 8 hours at that pressure !!
By the look of the picture, I would think Your nostrils would be pretty sore after a few 
nights of having that jambed in them !!

Hi Steve, I read over the information that SleepRider provided. This entire project from what I can see was a complete scam to bleed millions of dollars out of the public. And I absolutely agree with you on both points. How, using current batter technology, could a device this small ever support pressure for eight hours? Also, with enough pressure, how could it possibly stay in your nostrils without being pushed out?

Personally, I am very happy with my current setup using my ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet and the AirFit P30i nasal pillow mask. Just last night (04/05/2023) I rack up the following:

Your device was on for 8 hours, 35 minutes and 2 seconds.
You had an AHI of 0.35, which is under your 7 day average of 0.86.
Your pressure was under 11.08 cmH2O for 95% of the time.
Your average leaks were 0.49 l/min, which is under your 7 day average of 1.14

If it did work, then it would be classified as a CPAP.  This would mean that it would fall under the FDA for licensing and require a prescription in the US.  

It's odd it would appear on or near April 1st.   H-m-m-m
