David White, M.D., Harvard Medical School and chief medical officer of SleepRes:
“All of these steps (hiring sales and service people) are fully underway, with the goal of bringing this device to market in the second quarter of 2026”

Apparently, ResMed is not taking this Kricket thing lying down (so to speak):

So, since all SleepRes/Kricket can really say is:
Patients initiating PAP therapy virtually all found KPAP™ more comfortable than CPAP.
ResMed can simply say
Meh. Smart Comfort can do the same thing for nothing.

Yet, one wonders if Smart Comfort is largely placebo:
PTCS recommends a subset of established comfort parameters (ramp, EPR, AutoSet Response) already available in the predicate device. The difference is limited to providing recommendations rather than direct control and does not introduce new comfort features or safety concerns.
