Standard ST Mode
AutoEPAP iVAPS
Fixed EPAP iVAPS
Participants underwent the first PSG study (Titration Night 1) on ST Mode ( prior to going on AutoEPAP iVAPS or Fixed EPAP iVAPS) whilst receiving their standard NIV therapy through the clinical trial device "Juno". During this mode the participant's current NIV settings were reviewed and re-titrated to deliver optimal therapy.
Participants underwent a PSG study on the AutoEPAP iVAPS mode on either Night 2 or Night 3 according to their computer generated randomisation. Participants were randomised (1:1) according to a computer-generated randomised list (Microsoft Excel 2010) to receive 'AutoEPAP iVAPS' or 'FixedEPAP iVAPS' therapy mode first.
Participants underwent a PSG study on the Fixed EPAP iVAPS mode on either Night 2 or Night 3 according to their computer generated randomisation. Participants were randomised (1:1) according to a computer-generated randomised list (Microsoft Excel 2010) to receive 'AutoEPAP iVAPS' or 'FixedEPAP iVAPS' therapy mode first.
