trial nasal mask for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in the home environment.
This investigation is a prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded study. Up to 45 OSA
participants who currently use a full-face mask will be recruited.
This study will involve a baseline (Visit One) data gathering with the participant's PAP

their experience using the mask in home in the form of a structured interview during Visit
Three. The maximum amount of time the participants will be exposed to the trial mask in-home

The mask and CPAP (if used from the research pool) will be returned to the institution at the
conclusion of the trial and participant will return to their usual mask and therapy device

Neither the investigators nor the participants will be blinded to the study.
