The Nightmare is Over
Kairos Positive Airway Pressure (KPAP)
Kairos Positive Airway Pressure (KPAP) is a radically new pressure algorithm that treats OSA as effectively as CPAP while improving patient comfort to increase therapy adherence.1-2
Designed for Comfort
Pressure at the Right Time
Adapts to the natural rhythm of breathing, applying therapeutic pressure only when needed, reducing the sensation of forced airflow and promoting a more comfortable experience.
Fewer Side Effects
Designed by sleep physicians, Kricket is engineered to minimize common pressure-related issues like leaks, dry mouth, bloating, and discomfort, supporting a more tolerable therapy experience.
Therapy You Can Trust
Clinical studies show KPAP provides the same therapeutic effectiveness as CPAP while enhancing user comfort, offering a new standard in sleep apnea care.
The Science
KPAP is Optimized for Natural Breathing
KPAP delivers just the right pressure at just the right time for a more comfortable night’s sleep.
Pressure dropped 2cm and then 3cm H2O, yielding a pressure at 5cm H2O below therapeutic pressure.
Pressure is down at the initiation of expiration and stays down through most of the expiratory cycle.
Pressure returned to therapeutic levels to assure optimal pharyngeal patency and lung volume.
The Proof
Comfort and Efficacy Clinical Trials
In two recent clinical trials, the vast majority of patients found KPAP to be just as effective as and more comfortable than CPAP, making it a clinically viable option for patients who struggle or refuse to use CPAP.1-2
Comfort Trial
KPAP preferred to CPAP by virtually all patients
Total Participants: 150 patients
Criteria: Recently diagnosed, untreated OSA with an AHI>10
Test Procedure: Prior to initiation of PAP were exposed to and asked to compare for comfort:
- CPAP at 9 and 13cm H2O
- KPAP at 9 and 13cm H2O with various pressure drops
Outcome: Patient selects each time whether CPAP or KPAP is more comfortable in blinded manner
Efficacy Trial
KPAP delivers equivalent therapeutic efficacy to CPAP
Total Participants: 50 patients
Criteria: documented OSA on stable APAP with >6 hours per night adherence.
Test Procedure: Reported to the sleep lab for a full night PSG. In random order the patient slept:
- Half the night on CPAP set at the P95 pressure determined from the PAP device at home.
- Half the night on KPAP set at the same P95 with a 2cm then 3cm H2O (total 5 cm H2O) drop during inspiration and a return to the P95 pressure approximately half way through expiration.
CPAP versus XPAP Comparisons:
- AHI 3a (3% fall in Sp02 or arousal to score hypopneas)
- AHI 4 (4% fall in Sp02 to score hypopneas)
- AHI in REM and NREM sleep
- AHI supine and latera
