First Nation Group Partners with AirAvant Medical
First Nation Group Unites with AirAvant Medical to Launch New Alternative Sleep Apnea Treatment, Bongo® Rx EPAP
First Nation Group is proud to partner with AirAvant Medical to launch their flagship product, Bongo® Rx, a nasal Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) device used to treat mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This FDA-cleared and clinically proven technology is designed for comfort and ease of use, requiring no machine, hoses, electricity, or batteries. Bongo Rx EPAP, a prescription device, promotes uninterrupted breathing throughout the night as an alternative sleep therapy for Government customers serving Veterans with OSA.
“The Bongo Rx product from AirAvant Medical offers clinicians a unique option for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea. First Nation Group is proud to partner with AirAvant Medical and broaden sleep therapy portfolio to ensure more Veterans have the opportunity to use and be complaint with their therapy.”
Glenn Munroe, Senior Vice President of Business Development, First Nation Group
The innovative Bongo Rx is designed with soft silicone nasal pillows that seal just inside the nasal openings. During inhalation, small valves open to allow you to breathe normally through the device. During exhalation, the valves close, directing exhaled air through specifically designed vent holes to generate EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) which keeps your airway open until you inhale again.
Bongo Rx is an FDA-cleared prescription device for treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep therapy (OSA).
Bongo Rx is easy to use, requires no power, and is perfect for traveling.
Bongo Rx is reusable and small enough to fit in a shirt pocket so patients can use it anytime, anywhere.
AirAvant, a research-oriented, privately held company, is headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, focuses on developing and marketing innovative respiratory medical devices to treat obstructive sleep apnea and other breathing disorders. AirAvent’s mission is to treat respiratory disorders while minimizing impact to patient’s lifestyles. Sharing this unique vision, the relationship between AirAvant and First Nation Group will create additional opportunities for Veterans by leveraging a new alternative sleep therapy.
“We designed the reusable Bongo Rx EPAP device to be small, simple to use, yet effective solution for OSA [patients] that allows for contactless setup. Our partnership with First Nation Group provides Veterans better access to the Bongo Rx, especially Veterans who cannot access a CPAP machine, stopped using CPAP, or simply want to try a CPAP alternative either as a first-line option or as a travel option.”
Javier Collazo, Vice President, AirAvant Medical
