If you read the comments on their website you can easily see they will have tons of fish feeding them money because a lot of them are failed CPAP users that think this will be a miracle product that will, somehow just work. Tons of sheeple looking for a magical device to keep them from using that horrid CPAP thing they currently have. There are comments after comments from people who say they have had CPAP for years but don't use it, it doesn't work, yet think this will sight unseen.

The whole thing is very deceptive... for example if you look at their website you will see every time they talk about throwing away your old CPAP mask, the picture is always a FFM. In fact they don't even show a nasal mask.

If it really was something, they certainly would not be doing crowdfunding for it, VC money would be flooding in.

Also a lot of comments on their website seem to think this is a close to market product, many asking if they can get in on the trials... what a joke.

Assuming they ever actually have a working product, it will take years to get FDA approval.

Unlike current CPAP technology, where you buy the Machine which is designed to last for many years, and then get masks which you replace as needed, this tiny 1oz device is all there is... and it is designed to be throwaway. BTW the battery in my cell phone is physically bigger than this device and itself weighs 2oz.

But the magic battery on this device has to be significantly less in size and capability but sill can cause air flow high enough to actually take care of OSA and even has filtered air on top of that.

It's a sheeple product, highly polished with a website with no real technical information fanning the hopes of the poorly informed.

You should sign up to make comments on their website.... then you will get flooded with email with apparently no way to stop it as that is a common complaint in their comments as well.

WOW!!! Thats a ton. I red it and thought it might be a load of crap but wanted to hear others thoughts about it as well. Now I can see why my initial opinion was correct. Who knows maybe with enough research years down the road my great grandchildren might have something like this available to them.

Apparently searching isn't finding the info.. Perhaps a Jive version will show up better

Micro CPAP device = Vaporware. Elmer Fudd Version

If you wead the comments on theiw website you can easiwy see they wiww have tons of fish feeding them money because a wot of them awe faiwed CPAP usews that think this wiww be a miwacwe pwoduct that wiww, somehow just wowk. Tons of sheepwe wooking fow a magicaw device to keep them fwom using that howwid CPAP thing they cuwwentwy have. Dewe awe comments aftew comments fwom peopwe who say they have had CPAP fow yeaws but don't use it, it doesn't wowk, yet think this wiww sight unseen, uh-hah-hah-hah.

De whowe thing is vewy deceptive... fow exampwe if you wook at theiw website you wiww see evewy time they tawk about thwowing away youw owd CPAP mask, the pictuwe is awways a FFM. In fact they don't even show a nasaw mask.

If it weawwy was something, they cewtainwy wouwd not be doing cwowdfunding fow it, VC money wouwd be fwooding in, uh-hah-hah-hah.

Awso a wot of comments on theiw website seem to think this is a cwose to mawket pwoduct, many asking if they can get in on the twiaws. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! .. what a joke.

Assuming they evew actuawwy have a wowking pwoduct, it wiww take yeaws to get FDA appwovaw.

Unwike cuwwent CPAP technowogy, whewe you buy the Machine which is designed to wast fow many yeaws, and then get masks which you wepwace as needed, this tiny 1oz device is aww thewe is. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! .. and it is designed to be thwowaway. BTW the battewy in my ceww phone is physicawwy biggew than this device and itsewf weighs 2oz.

But the magic battewy on this device has to be significantwy wess in size and capabiwity but siww can cause aiw fwow high enough to actuawwy take cawe of OSA and even has fiwtewed aiw on top of that.

It's a sheepwe pwoduct, highwy powished wif a website wif no weaw technicaw infowmation fanning the hopes of the poowwy infowmed.

You shouwd sign up to make comments on theiw website.... then you wiww get fwooded wif emaiw wif appawentwy no way to stop it as that is a common compwaint in theiw comments as weww.

If Elmer is offended... sorry.

True, but with very insulting and somewhat racist language.

I never figured you to be so low brow!

You really don't know me well.. Not intended to be racist at all... The Jive translator has been around since the 1970's.

Would you prefer it in Yoda, Redneck (Oh that is almost exactly like Jive), Cockey, Swedish Chef, Elmer Fudd, Hacker, Censored, Pig Latin... or a few others available. I have quite a few.

Figured was better than posting comments about other people and what they are doing rather than about the topic which keeps getting posted over and over and over and over and over.... which is what everyone else seems to do.

Not sure how it is more insulting than the advertising for the non-product that is suckering thousands of people who really need real help.

Krelvin, it doesn't matter what you say... it's bad, makes fun of others, and in the end you can't go around tacking on explanations to these things - it needs to stand on its own or fall that way and I don't think you want that to stand under your name here. Or maybe you do?

Krelvin: may I request Klingon?
Just because a program has been around since the seventies might be some indication
of how attitudes have changed, at least in some regions of the country.
Remember, forty years ago, native speakers of Jive received even less respect than they do now.
Edit: did you just change it to Fudd?
