U.S. Sleep Apnea Diagnostic and Therapeutic Devices Market Expected to Reach $1.3 billion by the End of 2008. The world market for sleep apnea diagnostic and therapeutic devices is expected to reach $2.5 billion by the end of 2008, growing at a rate of 12.5 percent per year during the 2006-2014 period.

The sleep apnea management devices universe includes the following products: Sleep Apnea Diagnostic Equipment (Clinical PSG Equipment, Ambulatory PSG Equipment, and Screening Devices); and Sleep Apnea Therapeutic Equipment (CPAP Devices; Bi-Level PAP Devices; Auto PAP Devices, and Facial Interfaces).

Key Takeaways

• The total US market for sleep apnea diagnostic and therapy devices is estimated to have been $1.12 billion in revenues in 2007, growing to $2.92 billion by the end of 2014 at a CAGR of 14.7 percent.
• Focus of product innovation is on development of more economical, wireless, portable, easy-to-use monitors for screening and PAP-based treatment devices for OSA and other types of sleep apnea.
• Other innovations include more comfortable facial interfaces and features of CPAP devices such as less noisy machines with long battery life..
• Type I and II monitors for sleep apnea diagnosis are the most commonly used in the US. New CMS reimbursement will open up the market to Type III devices for home testing.

Key Market Drivers

• Increasing numbers of target age-group of 40-60 year olds around the world together with increasing incidence of co-morbid conditions such as diabetes, heart failure and hypertension.
• Greater acceptance of Type III devices and home testing that will tap into the prevalent undiagnosed patient population (currently estimated to be about 95% worldwide).
• Increased home testing is likely to also increase full PSG at a sleep lab for validation, determination of specific type of sleep apnea and CPAP titration tests. Therefore home testing will have a domino effect, driving the demand for more PSG testing and CPAP treatment.
• Mounting clinical evidence pointing to the decrease in risk of cardiovascular disease with CPAP treatment is likely to have a positive impact with patients who are suspected of having sleep apnea referred for testing and CPAP therapy.

Global Trends

• Trends toward home-testing, with Respironics and Resmed driving this segment.
• Consolidation of medical device and supplies manufacture is set to continue, raising the entry barrier for newcomers while existing leaders tap into previously under penetrated markets and establish themselves as providers of comprehensive, cost-effective diagnostic and therapeutic products and accessories with measurable clinical outcomes.
• Growth Opportunity: Improvement of compliance rates in the CPAP population, currently about 50% Manufacturers will need to focus on improving compliance with a greater focus at developing CPAP machines with user-friendly systems with more comfortable interfaces and integrated compliance monitors.

Epidemiology

The worldwide prevalence of the most common type of sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is estimated to be as much as 60 million. In the US, about 18 million people have been diagnosed with OSA, with about 1/3 having moderate to severe apnea, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Official incidence data is not available. Estimation of sleep apnea incidence is problematic because of using AHI cut points to identify who is at risk for incident sleep apnea at baseline.

Incidence varies based on gender, race, age, obesity, and geographic region. For instance, sleep apnea incidence may be as low as 2-3% in the general pediatric population. But by the age of 60, as much as 60% of males and 40% of females are thought to have sleep apnea. This increase may be due to age-related decrease in muscle tone in the upper airways, allowing tissue in the pharyngeal area to collapse more readily.

Diagnosis

Sleep apnea is usually diagnosed by clinicians certified in sleep medicine, often by an otorhinolaryngeologist. Primary care physicians refer patients to sleep medicine certified clinicians at a sleep study center or sleep laboratory.

The patient’s medical history, lifestyle factors such as alcohol and tobacco intake and exercise, cardiovascular condition, and current medications are taken into consideration. Following this, a physical and otorhinolaryngological (ear, nose, and throat) examination is done to evaluate the airway. The physical examination involves checking the mouth, nose, and throat for extra or large tissues. The tonsils often are enlarged in children with sleep apnea.

Although there is no consensus as to a gold standard for sleep apnea diagnosis on an international level, overnight polysomnography (PSG) is the conventional, standard diagnostic test for sleep apnea across the world. PSG is sometimes not useful for diagnosing sleep apnea in patients with mild OSA only at home and who do not experience apneic episodes during a sleep study. OSA caused by upper airway resistance syndrome also cannot be diagnosed by PSG unless inspiratory pressure is measured. These patients may be provided with a portable home-testing monitor.

Portable monitors may be used in a clinical setting or for home-testing. Use of ambulatory sleep studies varies in different countries. Till recently, portable monitors were mostly used at clinical centers in the US due to reimbursement limitations. However, they have been accepted in other parts of the world for unattended home-testing.

Patients who cannot sleep in a sleep center or those who cannot leave the home for any reason from home, or those who cannot wait for an attended sleep test, home testing is an option. For some patients, ambulatory home sleep studies are increasingly being offered by physicians as an alternative to an attended sleep study. Patients are trained to self-administer the test at home. The reports typically are read or interpreted by a board-certified sleep physician. In the US, reimbursement has been the most important limiting factor. However, in March of 2008, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the US implemented a national coverage determination to reimburse for several categories of home sleep study devices.

Therapy

Positive Air Pressure is the most common treatment for sleep apnea. During sleep, pressurized air is supplied to keep the airways open. For details, see Section 3 Sleep Apnea Products and Technology.

The standard treatment for OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). In the US, the AASM recom recommends that CPAP be based on a prior diagnosis of OSA established using PSG.

BiPAP is an optional therapy in some cases where high pressure is needed and the patient experiences difficulty exhaling against a fixed pressure or coexisting central hypoventilation is present. BiPAP is only one type of Bi-level device and a registered trademark of Respironics. The term is now used as a generic term for all BiLevel devices.

Initially a test is done to see if CPAP alleviates symptoms during sleep and then the appropriate CPAP or BiPAP pressure is set via a procedure known as titration. The CPAP or BiPAP devices are non-invasive means of aiding ventilation. Unlike a ventilator, they cannot completely take over the job of ventilation to be considered as life-support machines.

Competitive Activity

Leading companies in the sleep apnea management devices space include: Astro-Med/Grass Technologies, Cadwell Labs, Cardinal Health (SensorMedics , ViIASYS), Clevemed, Compumedics, Covidien (Nellcor, Puritan-Bennett), Fisher & Paykel, Embla, Respironics.
