The objective of this study is to explore the safety and performance of the Genio™ system in adult obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients with and without complete concentric collapse of the soft palate over a period of 4.5 months of treatment (i.e. 6 months post-surgery) measured by the AHI, at rest to determine if there is a difference in performance between the two populations.
This is a prospective, open-label, multicentric, 2 groups study to assess the safety and performance of the Genio™ system in adult obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients with and without complete concentric collapse of the soft palate. Participants will be consented, enrolled and eligibility criteria checked. If the participant is eligible, participant will proceed with the Genio™ IS implantation. Six (6) weeks after implantation, the implant will be activated and study visits will be scheduled at Week 7, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5 and Month 6.
