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. For more information on SleepWeaver Élan and the entire line of SleepWeaver products and accessories, please visit

CIRCADIANCE INTRODUCES NEW & IMPROVED SLEEPWEAVER ADVANCE Clinical, customer and reseller network feedback drives enhancements
PITTSBURGH, PA – 1 March 2012 – One of the premier providers of innovative supplies for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) products for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Circadiance announces the launch of its latest product evolution with the New and Improved SleepWeaver® Advance soft cloth nasal CPAP mask with the revolutionary Zzzephyr Seal
®.
“The evolution of this product is the result of ongoing communication with our customers, reseller network and sleep technicians throughout the world,” said David Groll, CEO. “Our focus on quality through feedback has led to the re-engineering and significant improvement to our successful SleepWeaver
® soft cloth nasal CPAP mask providing an even better fit and seal.”
Circadiance utilizes a variety of methods to communicate with its customers including strong relationships with national home healthcare providers, a wide ranging reseller network, dedicated customer service representatives and a loyal online community.
“These improvements are in line with our company goals of introducing a variety of products that provide the CPAP patient a comfortable experience as well as offering the DME resellers and sleep lab professionals an alternative to the traditional hard plastic CPAP masks,” said Groll.
The benefits of the feedback received has led to improvements throughout, including:
An improved fit and seal as a result of enhancements to the Zzzephyr Seal®;
Enhanced headgear providing a better fit for a broader range of patients; and
When combined with the new SleepWeaver® Feather Weight Tube®, a complete comfort package is available.
As with previous renditions of the SleepWeaver
® soft cloth nasal CPAP mask, the New and Improved SleepWeaver
® Advance inflates like a balloon, softly conforming to the patient’s face and creating an intimate seal. Along with the improvements designed into the Zzzephyr Seal
®, the SleepWeaver
® Advance provides a unique fit designed for comfort and restorative sleep.
“The challenge for any product that touches the skin is comfort and fit without irritation. The SleepWeaver
® Advance not only fits most with one size but also gently rests on the skin preventing irritation,” said Ron Mahofski, director of engineering for Circadiance.

Circadiance launches revolutionary new CPAP tube Lightweight and flexible design provides better overall user experience
PITTSBURGH, PA – November 7, 2011- Building on the success of their revolutionary soft cloth nasal SleepWeaver CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) mask, Circadiance is proud to introduce a mask tube so lightweight and flexible, that CPAP users will hardly know it’s there.
Used in the treatment of sleep apnea, the new SleepWeaver Feather Weight Tube from Circadiance complements the CPAP mask with a 15-millimeter hose composed of revolutionary, lightweight material that reduces the weight at the mask connection point, making the hose less likely to pull and disrupt the seal. The new tube also extends the hose length by 1.5 feet.
“Our new hose is lighter and more flexible than standard CPAP hoses,” says Circadiance Director of Engineering, Ron Mahofski. “It also includes smaller lightweight connectors, which reduce the pull between the hose and the mask.”
Also, unlike the majority of hoses, the SleepWeaver Feather Weight Tube offers the unique ability to stretch, providing a more forgiving connection to CPAP devices. It can also be used as a quick release.
“These features give users the full benefit of CPAP therapy so they can enjoy a deep, restorative sleep,” says Mahofski.
Launching in November 2011, the new tube is designed to fit any CPAP mask with a
22-millimeter connection.

EXPORT, PA May 17, 2010 - Circadiance, the world leader in soft cloth nasal CPAP masks, announces two new colors for their revolutionary SleepWeaver mask – camouflage and leopard.
These Wilderness Dream Series colors represent the company’s deliberate decision to offer users more exciting choices in nasal CPAP masks, and wake up a sleepy industry with custom designs.

Circadiance Launches NEW Zzzephyr Seal™ for Its SleepWeaver™ ADVANCE Mask - Now Available in Three Colors
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 26, 2009 - Circadiance, the leader in soft-cloth nasal CPAP masks, announces the new Zzzephyr Seal, a revolutionary elastic cloth seal designed to fit more comfortably over the patient's nose. The lightweight seal reduces air leakage, and helps to ensure a better night's sleep for Obstructive Sleep Apnea patients.
The SleepWeaver ADVANCE with Zzzephyr Seal, which comes in blue, pink and beige, was launched at the Medtrade Fall Show in Atlanta, Georgia, October 12 - 15. More than 5,600 home care professionals attended the four-day conference. The Zzzephyr Seal created the buzz while the colors stood out in the crowd.
Unlike hard plastic CPAP masks, the SleepWeaver ADVANCE with Zzzephyr Seal inflates like a balloon, softly conforming to the patient's face and creating an intimate seal. Because the elastic cloth is flexible and follows the unique shape of each patient's face, it's more comfortable, doesn't irritate the skin, and doesn't allow air to escape where hard plastic parts don't fit perfectly. Plus, SleepWeaver ADVANCE operates quietly, so that patients (and spouses) can get a good night's sleep.
"We're continually improving the experience for CPAP mask users," says David Groll, Circadiance CEO. "Innovation requires thinking about the product from the user's perspective. The new Zzzephyr Seal allows us to provide patients with an even better fit, while giving them color choices that helps make their mask more attractive and personal."
SleepWeaver ADVANCE Soft Cloth CPAP Masks are available in the United States through home care companies or can be purchased directly at
http://www.sleepweaver.com. For more information on this new, better-fitting, soft, all-cloth CPAP mask, please call: 1.888.825.9640.

Circadiance Launches the New SleepWeaver™ ADVANCE All Cloth CPAP Mask
PITTSBURGH, April 20, 2009 — Circadiance launched the revolutionary SleepWeaver™ ADVANCE All Cloth Nasal CPAP Mask at the Medtrade Spring Tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nevada March 25 - 26. More than 3,000 Home Care Professionals were in attendance at the conference. The SleepWeaver™ ADVANCE received an overwhelmingly favorable response from Home Care Business Owners, Managers and Respiratory Therapists.
The new SleepWeaver™ ADVANCE All Cloth CPAP Nasal Mask plays off of the ingenuity and groundbreaking design of the original soft, lightweight SleepWeaver™ while offering increased comfort, a better fit, noticeably smaller mask dimensions, all new and easier-to-use headgear, and it was designed specifically to fit a broader range of patients including those with smaller faces.
Many sleep apnea patients discontinue their CPAP therapy because their CPAP mask causes discomfort, irritation and sleep interruption. The innovative SleepWeaver™ ADVANCE 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 night’s sleep. And unlike other masks, SleepWeaver has no plastic or silicone parts that touch the face, preventing it from irritating sensitive skin.
“Circadiance has already proven that cloth is a superior way to interface a CPAP machine to a patient,” states David Groll, CEO of Circadiance. “The SleepWeaver™ ADVANCE has all of the benefits of the original SleepWeaver™ All Cloth CPAP Mask and is even better. The new product has met an eager reception from Sleep Labs, DMEs and CPAP Users.”
SleepWeaver™ ADVANCE is available in the United States through home care companies or can be purchased directly at
http://www.sleepweaver.com. For more information on this new All Cloth CPAP Mask, please call 888-825-9640.
