The Inspire® therapy process
Inspire-trained providers are available in all 50 U.S. states to help you through each important step in the Inspire therapy process.
01
Learn about Inspire therapy
Unlike other obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) therapies, the Inspire® implant works comfortably1 inside your body to help keep your airway open while you sleep, so you can breathe regularly and sleep soundly.
Answer a simple questionnaire to find out if Inspire therapy may be right for you.
02
03
Complete an airway exam
The airway exam is a simple checkup to confirm the Inspire implant will work for you. Your provider will use a tiny camera to look inside your airway. It usually takes about 20 minutes. The airway exam is a safe procedure with minimal discomfort.2
04
05
Turn on Inspire therapy
During a follow-up appointment, your provider will turn on your Inspire therapy, review how to use your InspireTM remote, and spend time walking you through your step-up plan. This step-up plan will help you get into the routine of turning on your therapy and help guide you to the right therapy level for you.
06
Complete a sleep study
The final step in the Inspire therapy process is a sleep study to verify Inspire therapy is meeting your “sleep better” goals. After this sleep study, you will meet with your provider to review your results and establish a long-term follow-up plan.
