AIO BREATHE COMFORT for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and for snoring

AIO BREATHE COMFORT by AIOMEGA, is a light weight, small sized oral appliance (by prescription only) that offers soft feel. It can be prescribed by the patient's doctors and dentists. It has the same effectiveness as AIO BREATHE with ease of use and the same physical or functional characteristics of AIO BREATHE. AIO BREATHE is a medical device and has been cleared by The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as first line treatment of moderate/mild OSA (AHI up to 30/hour) and for snoring without OSA in adults over 18 years of age. It is manufactured at AIOMEGA, LLC, a biotechnology company based in the USA. It is a wearable biomedical device (to be used by placing over the teeth) for use during sleep that can be removed when awake in the morning.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious medical condition characterized by recurrent episodes of oxygen deprivation that occur over a lifetime during sleep and progressively worsens as a person ages. 

AIO Breathe Summary

AIO Breathe acts by increasing the patient’s airway during sleep, improving ability to exchange air, thereby reducing the tendency to snore and alleviating signs of obstructive sleep apnea.

AIO Breathe features right and left protrusive flanges that engage with corresponding right and left vertical flanges. This engagement repositions the jaw to reflect the dentist’s prescribed anterior mandibular advancement and is maintained while mouth is open or closed.

Additionally, mandibular plateaus guide the mandible downward, thus opening the anterior airway. The plateaus and flanges allow vertical opening of the jaw and work together to maintain advancement in open and closed mouth positions.

Indications for Use

AIO Breathe is intended for treatment of moderate/mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and snoring in adults.

Clinical Applications (How can a Sleep physician/Cardiologist/Dentist include AIO BREATHE and MB in overall strategy of OSA treatment)

1. First Line (Primary Indication): AIO BREATHE COMFORT can be used as standalone therapy of OSA with AHI up to 30/hour of sleep.
2. First Line (Primary Indication): Primary Snoring and Upper airway resistance syndrome (CPAP not indicated). Standalone therapy for snoring or daytime symptoms like fatigue, sleepiness etc. with AHI less than 5/hour of sleep.
3. Replacement therapy: Patient is intolerant to CPAP/BIPAP irrespective of AHI.
4. Combination therapy with CPAP/BIPAP: AIO BREATHE is added to OSA therapy (Hybrid therapy) when high CPAP pressure causes side effects like water retention, swelling, acid reflux, bloating, disruption of sleep, air leaks, difficulty going to sleep or staying asleep etc.
5. Lower CPAP/BIPAP pressure: Sleep Physician or Cardiologist wants to protect the heart from adverse effects of high-pressure therapy. Adding AIO BREATHE to therapy can assist in reduction of pressure on CPAP/BIPAP.
6. Travel therapy of OSA with AIO BREATHE: More convenient and reliable therapy than CPAP/BIPAP. Many people use AIO BREATHE when on the road and combine it with a CPAP when at home.

Strengths of COMFORT AIO BREATHE and MB

The AIO BREATHE COMFORT follows the arc-of-motion of the jawbone thus advancing the tongue in a very natural way and provides on-demand airflow. AIO BREATHE is the first device that increases the size of the airway with incremental mouth opening while others only prevent airway closure during sleep. The unique features of this Mandibular Repositioning Device which are its light weight and small formfactor makes AIO BREATHE an attractive option for those who seek treatment of OSA yet place ease of use and portability over heavy cumbersome medical devices or surgically permanently implanted devices. The AIO BREATHE COMFORT offers material comfort.
