FDA grants 510(k) clearance for device used to treat snoring

The FDA has granted inSleep Health 510(k) clearance for the company’s Cloud9 Anti-Snoring System, according to a company press release.

The clearance indicates the use of the device to reduce or eliminate simple snoring in adults.

A prescription device used at home, Cloud9 is designed to exert airflow at low pressure.

The system includes a sports-styled, air circuit and small nasal interface that acts as the mask, according to the release.

“Our trial demonstrates marked reductions if not complete elimination of snoring by low-levels of continuous airway pressure in habitual snorers without sleep apnea,” Alan R. Schwartz, MD, director of Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center, said in the release. “This technology promises … improvements in sleep quality and reductions in stress for snorers and their bed partners.”
