Covidien launches Sandman Intro CPAP device

Covidien has introduced an all-new CPAP device with a fully-integrated heated humidifier. The product is available throughout the US and Europe and will be phased into other global markets in 2009.

According to the company, the Sandman Intro CPAP device is a convenient device designed for a broad range of patients and provides continuous positive airway pressure and heated humidification.

Andy Ray, vice president and general manager for Covidien’s Sleep and Oxygen division, said: “The goal in developing this product was to improve the nighttime breathing comfort of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) – which we know to be an increasingly common and serious condition – and to accomplish this with a device that is as easy to use as it is unobtrusive.”
