March 2012 – 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®.
