Results that deliver confidence

remedē® System Pivotal Trial

The remedē System Pivotal Trial was a prospective, multi-center, randomized trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of therapy delivered by the remedē System in adult patients with moderate to severe CSA and optimal medical management. After 6 months of data was collected on the treatment and control groups, the former control group began receiving therapy. Results versus baseline were then studied out to five years for the treatment and former control groups.1-2

The results of the study demonstrate that the remedē System is safe and effective, with all primary and secondary endpoints achieved.2 TREATMENT EFFECTIVENESS and SAFETY were sustained through five years.1 No deaths associated with the procedure, the remedē System, or delivered therapy have been reported through five years. 

The results of the remedē System Pivotal Trial demonstrate comprehensive improvements in sleep and quality of life beyond improvements in AHI1-3

Reduction in Sleep Disturbances

  • 96% reduction in Central Apnea Index1
  • 88% of patients experienced a reduction in AHI2,3
  • Significant reduction in oxygen desaturation events1

Improvement in Sleep Quality

  • Significant reduction in arousals1
  • Significant improvement in sleep architecture1

Improvement in Quality of Life

  • 95% of patients reported they would “elect to have the medical procedure again”3
  • 78% of patients reported improved quality of life3
  • Significant reduction in daytime sleepiness1

Reduction in Sleep Disturbances

Freedom from Serious Adverse Events

90 percent pie chart

90% of patients experienced freedom from serious adverse events associated with implant procedure, the remedē System, or delivered therapy at 12 months. 86% experienced freedom from associated serious adverse events through five years.1
