Inspire Sleep Remote English 5
When the delay time has passed, the Inspire system
delivers mild stimulation to the nerve that controls your
tongue movement (the hypoglossal nerve) as it senses
breathing. The stimulation causes the upper airway muscles
to stiffen, preventing airway blockages. The therapy does
not wait for an apnea to occur before delivering stimulation.
Stimulation is delivered throughout the night to prevent
apneas.

Frequently Asked Therapy Questions
What does stimulation feel like?
Most patients report that stimulation is a mild sensation.
Stimulation results in an involuntary movement of the upper
airway muscles and/or tongue. If the stimulation strength is
too high, the upper airway may have a strong response that
may be uncomfortable. Stimulation strength can be adjusted
so that therapy is comfortable and effective.
Will I feel anything when I turn therapy on?
Yes. When therapy is turned on you should feel a brief
stimulation for a few seconds. Then stimulation is delayed
for a period of time while you fall asleep. After this Start
Delay, stimulation resumes.
