“A Solution for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Closed Loop Neuromodulation: ” Mark Christopherson Vice President Product Development, Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. NANS, December 6, 2012 • The Inspire Therapy is Investigational Use Only in the United States • Mark Christopherson is an employee of Inspire Medical Systems
Definition of Obstructive Sleep Apnea • A loss of muscle tone during sleep allowing the upper airway to narrow or close… a physiologic issue • AHI = Apnea/Hypopnea Index is number of events per hour • Sufferers stop breathing for periods of up to 20-30 seconds as many as 40-50 times per hour • Breathing cessations eventually cause the brain to send what is essentially a wake-up call to the body
Health Consequences of OSA Many co-morbidities have been directly linked with Obstructive Sleep Apnea… Early Mortality High Blood Pressure Congestive Heart Failure Stroke Neuro-cognitive Problems Daytime Sleepiness Job Impairment Fatigue-related accidents
Prevalence of OSA and Clinical Treatment Guidelines – United States • +13 million patients • Moderate to Severe OSA in >30 yrs old: • Diagnosed • 20% • CPAP • Surgical Intervention • Fail CPAP30%-60% • Oral Appliance • Remain Untreated Many patients remain untreated or undertreated
Moderate to Severe OSA Treatments • Gold standard • ~1 mil units per year • Low compliance 50% High (CPAP) Maxillofacial advancement • Facial reconstruction • Good clinical results • <2k procedures / yr Intrusiveness • Variable results • Painful recovery • 40k procedures / yr Inspire therapy UPPP Surgical removal: tonsils, uvula, adenoids, soft palate Low Low Invasiveness High Upper Airway Stimulation addresses and unmet need: Less invasive, durable results, high patient compliance
The Inspire System Neurostimulation worksWITH patient’s physiology • No removing / altering anatomy • Straightforward, scalable procedure • Fast post-op recovery • Non invasive therapy titration
The Inspire System Closed-loop Synchronized Stimulation Stimulation Lead - Self sizing cuff - Multiple stimulation vectors Implanted Pulse Generator (IPG) - Commercial grade technology platform - 6-8 year projected longevity Respiration Sensor - Secure, stable location - Direct measurement of respiratory effort
Upper Airway Neuro-anatomy &Stimulation Site Superior Longitudinal Styloglossus (SG) Inferior Longitudinal Hyoglossus (HG) Stimulation Site: Medial branch of the hypoglossal nerve, activates only protrusors (genioglossus, geniohyoid), distal to retractors (styloglossusand hyoglossus) Geniohyoid (GH) Thyrohyoid Superior root of ansacervicalis Genioglossus (GG) Stimulation Site Mauer JT 2012 Hypoglossal Nerve (XII)
Sensor Location: Minimally Invasive • Sensor Incision/Dissection: • Within Intercostal muscles 2 3 4 5
