Medical Device Development For Sleep Apnea And Neonatal Care

Sleep apnea is a chronic problem that affects millions of people, over 12 million in the U.S. alone. Untreated, people with the disorder stop breathing for short periods during sleep. During these periods of sleep apnea lungs cannot get an adequate supply of oxygen, depriving the individual of effective rest and recuperation. CPAP machines are primary tools for treating obstructive sleep apnea. ACS specializes in medical device product development for CPAP, BiPAP, VPAP, and related oxygen device design and development. Our medical device consultants are also well known by Minnesota medical device manufacturers in particular for our expertise and professionalism.

Sleep Apnea Risks and Treatment

Sleep apnea has been indicated as a factor in weight gain, memory impairment, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and headaches, and may play a role in motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, and substandard performance at work.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), as well as the more sophisticated BiPAP (Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure) and VPAP (Variable Positive Airway Pressure) are among the most common and effective obstructive sleep apnea cures short of surgery.

Compared to an average sleep apnea mouth device, CPAP machines, as well as BiPAP and VPAP machines, are much more effective, particularly for more severe cases of sleep apnea, and can contribute to noticeably higher sleep apnea blood oxygen levels. In addition, oxygen therapy devices avoid some of the problems associated with a sleep apnea oral device, such as soreness, damage to the jaw and/or teeth, nausea, and salivary buildup.

Located in Burnsville Minnesota, Automated Control Systems has provided sophisticated respiratory therapy device product design and manufacturing services since 1983. Our client base includes Medtronic, Chart Industries, Cardinal 3M, Delphi Medical, and IBM. Oxygen-related durable medical equipment design and development for CPAP, BiPAP and VPAP and related medical applications are our specialty. If you need fast development of medical prototype devices we have the expertise, resources, and capacity to bring your idea from concept to reality.

Automated Control Systems can help not only with rapid prototyping for your respiratory medical device; we also serve as medical devices consultants and can assist with medical device automation. Call us today at 952-895-1222 to see how we can help turn your idea into reality!
