In Singapore, 44 patients were followed for six months after implantation. Surgeons cut implant times by 20% compared to the previous model, and all procedures succeeded. Internal respiratory sensing removed the need for external leads, and the device achieved 87% inspiratory phase overlap versus 79% with the older system. Patients averaged 5.5 hours per night on therapy, and their average apnea-hypopnea index dropped from 34 to 8 events per hour. Safety was strong, with only two minor infections.
In the U.S., 101 patients at ten centers completed implants without serious issues. At 60 days, patients used the device 6.8 hours nightly at 1.7 volts. Preliminary sleep studies on 34 patients showed AHI cut from 30 to 4.5 events per hour. Single-site data from Boston and Colorado confirm shorter procedure times and higher surgery volume.
