Indications for use
The Transcend Sleep Apnea Therapy System is intended for the therapy of adults over 66 pounds (30 kg) with
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The device delivers continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which prevents
the collapse of the upper airway, thereby preventing obstructions that can interfere with spontaneous breathing.
Contraindications
The Transcend Sleep Apnea Therapy System is contraindicated in patients with the following conditions:
• Bullous lung disease
• Pathologically low blood pressure
• Pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum.
• Pneumocephalus has been reported in some users using nasal CPAP.
Caution should be used when prescribing CPAP for susceptible users such as those with any of these conditions:
• cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leaks
• abnormalities of the cribriform plate
• a prior history of head trauma
• pneumocephalus
