ABSTRACT:
A system for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea packaged in a collar assembly with remote electrodes which can be worn by a patient without any special preparation. The collar assembly has an adjustable attachment means, such as hook and latch, to accommodate variations in neck size. The collar assembly is properly oriented using variations in physical shape and/or color. An optional feedback system permits the patient to readily verify proper orientation. The remote electrodes may be conveniently maintained in position using a mouthpiece or other means. Radio frequency signals are sent from the collar assembly to the remote electrodes to provide the therapy upon detection of an apnea event.
