Circadiance Introduces SleepWeaver ÉlanThe Latest Mask in the SleepWeaver Line of Soft Cloth Nasal Masks for CPAP Users PITTSBURGH, PA – October 10, 2012 – Circadiance, the global manufacturer of SleepWeaver soft cloth nasal masks and accessories for PAP users, expands its line of soft cloth masks this week with its full market release of SleepWeaver Élan. “We designed SleepWeaver Élan to satisfy an even wider range of the growing population of sleep apnea patients,” explained David Groll, Circadiance President and CEO. “By adding SleepWeaver Élan to our line of soft cloth nasal masks, we’re able to give PAP users a wider variety of choice in an effort to improve patient desire to continue their PAP therapy.” Traditional PAP masks are made of hard rigid plastic, rubber, and/or silicone and need to be strapped tightly against a user’s face in order to form a seal. SleepWeaver masks provide PAP users a revolutionary soft cloth design that forms a balloon-like air-tight seal that conforms to each user’s face without pressure points, sore spots, pinching, or leaving any red marks on the skin after wearing the mask all night – all using a unique loose-fit headgear. SleepWeaver Élan is the newest mask in the line of SleepWeaver soft cloth masks. SleepWeaver Élan features a built-in swivel connection, enabling users to route the air supply hose in any direction. This feature allows users to sleep in different positions throughout the night, including sleeping on their side, without compromising their PAP therapy. Furthermore, SleepWeaver Élan’s innovative design requires no forehead support, giving users a clear field of vision at night and easily accommodates eyeglasses for bedtime reading or TV watching. SleepWeaver Élan comes in five color options and three sizes.

CIRCADIANCE TO LAUNCH NEW RESPIRATORY SUPPLY PRODUCTSExport, PA based company continues stellar growth entering fifth year PITTSBURGH, PA – 11 January 2012 – One of the premier providers of innovative supplies for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) products, Circadiance celebrates the completion of its fifth year with a variety of planned new product launches. These launches promise to build upon the high quality standards and innovation that the home health care industry has come to expect from Circadiance. Circadiance has its sights set on being the premier respiratory supply company. To do so, David Groll, CEO plans to reinvest heavily in the development of new products and use alternative tactics to grow the company. “We want to continue to create new, exciting products for the millions of patients worldwide who use our products,” says Groll. “The first five years have been great, but the next five will be even better.” In 2012 the company is planning to launch a variety of products that provide the CPAP patient a comfortable experience as well as offer the DME resellers and sleep lab professionals an alternative to the traditional hard plastic CPAP masks. From its inception Circadiance set out to improve CPAP patient compliance by creating a better product. “There was and still is a high level of CPAP non-compliance because patients are dissatisfied with their hard plastic CPAP masks,” says Groll. “There are inherent limitations to making a CPAP mask with hard plastic. The soft cloth design overcomes these limitations, providing a more comfortable experience for the CPAP patient.” The company’s initial product, the SleepWeaver Mask - the only 100% cloth CPAP mask on the market – has evolved over the past five years. True to the company’s growth strategy, in 2011, Circadiance introduced the SleepWeaver Feather Weight Tube as an alternative to the bulky and rigid tubing options. For more information on SleepWeaver, the SleepWeaver Feather Weight Tube visit http://www.circadiance.com/sleepweaver-order.php. Since 2006, the company has achieved its initial vision of building a better CPAP mask, meeting regulatory requirements and selling in over 30 countries. They’ve also built a strong group of employees who understand the market and offer a great service to customers. “It is a great challenge to start a new medical device company based on a new technology. Our team has met this challenge and positioned the company to continue to bring new innovations to the market” says Groll.

Circadiance® Becomes ISO 13485 Certified; Launches Products in Europe
EXPORT, Pa June 21, 2010 — Circadiance, the world leader in soft cloth nasal CPAP masks, has launched the SleepWeaver® in the European Union and will launch in Canada soon. The company has secured the right to apply the CE Mark after becoming ISO 13485 certified. “Sleep Apnea affects tens of millions of people around the world,” said David Groll, Circadiance’s CEO. “We have already established distributors in several European countries in preparation for this launch, and we anticipate the same enthusiastic reception in these new markets that we have enjoyed in the U.S. Our soft cloth mask is the answer to uncomfortable hard plastic masks that foster noncompliance. This milestone is just another step in our effort to establish global distribution for our superior cloth CPAP mask technology.” More than 40 million American adults (and a similar number outside the U.S.) have Obstructive Sleep Apnea — a common breathing disorder in which the airway collapses or is blocked during sleep. It is most often diagnosed in men (twice as many men suffer than women,) and in older people — at least 1 out of 10 Americans over the age of 65 have sleep apnea. Untreated, sleep apnea can cause a host of medical concerns, including high blood pressure, memory problems, diabetes, impotency, and headaches. Thankfully, patients who follow treatment orders greatly reduce their risk for heart disease and other major medical problems. Circadiance is the world leader in designing, developing and manufacturing soft cloth nasal CPAP Masks. Their innovative lightweight designs — including the patent-pending SleepWeaver® mask — have transformed the sleep apnea market by conforming to patient’s faces and creating better-fitting seals, so they’re more comfortable, don’t irritate the skin, and don’t allow air to escape where hard plastic parts don’t fit perfectly. They are quiet and come in a variety of colors. The company is IS013485 certified and the products carry the CE mark allowing them to be sold in Europe and soon Canada. The company, based in Export, Pennsylvania, offers its products online at http://www.sleepweaver.com, and through home care companies domestically and internationally.

Clinical Launch of Innovative Cloth Sleep Apnea Mask Creates Buzz at Sleep Conference
Circadiance launched the revolutionary SleepWeaver® Nasal CPAP Mask at the tradeshow of the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, SLEEP 2008, which was held in Baltimore June 9 – 12. Many sleep apnea patients discontinue their CPAP therapy because their CPAP mask causes discomfort, irritation and sleep interruption. The innovative SleepWeaver is the only 100 percent cloth CPAP mask on the market today. It gently inflates and softly conforms to the patient’s face to create a seal, and because the cloth is flexible and follows the exact shape of each individual patient’s face, air leakage is reduced. It is also designed to reduce mask noise to provide a good nights sleep. And unlike other masks, SleepWeaver has no plastic or silicone parts that touch the face, preventing it from irritating sensitive skin. ”There are several advantages of this method over conventional CPAP masks,” explains David Groll, President of Circadiance. “The air pressure causes the soft, breathable cloth to balloon and conform easily to the patient’s facial anatomy, creating the seal. There is no need for excess tension in the straps and no localized pressure points that can create pressure sores.” More than 5,000 scientists and doctors were in attendance at the conference. The SleepWeaver® received an overwhelmingly favorable response from doctors, therapists and others in the sleep products industry. Dr. Natalio Chediak MD, of the Boca Raton Sleep Center, who was introduced to the mask at this conference, commented, “This is the most unique interface at this meeting. I have never seen anything quite like it before. I can see its place in my practice. This is very impressive.” Another perspective came from sleep technician Joshua Whitaker RPSGT of the Lake Point Sleep Lab in Rockwall TX “This is awesome. The fact that the air pressure makes a cloth balloon is really awesome”. Luis DelaCruz RPSGT of the Adirondack Regional Sleep Disorders Center commented “I can really see a place for this in my practice particularly in those patients with sensitive skin and allergic conditions.” SleepWeaver® is available in the United States and can be purchased directly at http://www.sleepweaver.com or through most home care companies.
