Evidence of diagnostic agreement between breathing events identified by the CPAP device compared to a simultaneous PSG confirmed by using accepted sleep disordered breathing severity groupings (AHI >5, AHI >15 and AHI >30). [AHI is apnea-hypopnea index] [ Time Frame: one night ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Participants will undergo an attended PSG using the CPAP device at a sub-therapeutic pressure in order to induce breathing events. The breathing event outputs for both the PSG and CPAP device will be compared to determine if the apnea-hypopnea indices are in diagnostic agreement.
The CPAP device breathing event output will result in an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) that is in diagnostic agreement with the AHI obtained from a full clinical PSG. [ Time Frame: one night ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Methodological comparisons of AHI, apnea index (AI) and hypopnea index (HI) will demonstrate agreement between the values obtained by PSG and the CPAP device. [ Time Frame: one night ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Comparison of Breathing Event Detection by a CPAP Device to Clinical Polysomnography
Validation of Breathing Event Detection of the REMstar Auto With Aflex Compared to Clinical Polysomnography

The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device to a clinical polysomnography (PSG) in identifying breathing events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Sleep Apnea
Device: REMstar Auto with A-Flex
The CPAP device will be set-up at a sub-therapeutic pressure and will remain at this pressure for the entire night, if tolerated.
Experimental: CPAP Device
Breathing event detection by the CPAP device will be compared to breathing event detection by a simultaneous PSG.
Intervention: Device: REMstar Auto with A-Flex

  3. Chronic respiratory failure or insufficiency with suspected or known neuromuscular disease, moderate or severe COPD or other pulmonary disorders, or any condition with an elevation of arterial carbon dioxide levels (> 45 mmHg) while awake, or subjects requiring continuous oxygen therapy.
  4. Surgery of the upper airway, nose, sinus, or middle ear within the previous 90 days
  5. Surgery at any time for the treatment of OSAHS such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)

  6. Presence of untreated or poorly managed,non-OSAHS related sleep disorders:

    1. moderate to severe periodic limb movements(≥ 30/hr with symptoms or arousals)
    2. arousals associated with periodic limb movements > 10 per hour or
    3. anyone experiencing chronic and severe insomnia.
  7. Consumption of ethanol immediately prior to the research PSG
