Oxnard residents suffering from OSA and looking for an alternative to CPAP therapy may benefit from Bongo Rx, an innovative nasal EPAP device now on offer at the Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center (805-557-9930).
—
The newly announced device - suitable for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea treatment - is a small nasal pillow that keeps the airway open during sleep by creating expiratory positive airway pressure. With its small size and ease of use, the device can be a convenient alternative to a CPAP machine or a supplementary treatment, suitable for traveling or other circumstances where CPAP cannot be used.

Although CPAP therapy is considered the gold standard for OSA treatment, many patients find the device uncomfortable and noisy, with some studies reporting rates of CPAP intolerance of up to 50%. The Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center advises patients that in this case, seeking another option is essential, as OSA may lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
Founded in 1984, the clinic is led by Dr. Ronald Popper, MD, FCCP, FAASM, DABSM, one of the pioneers in the field of sleep medicine. The center offers several alternative treatment options for CPAP-intolerant patients, including Bongo Rx, Inspire implants, eXciteOSA daytime therapy, and oral appliances. During an initial consultation, Dr. Popper will assess the patient’s medical history and symptoms to devise an individual treatment plan.
Bongo Rx has been clinically tested and cleared by the FDA for mild to moderate OSA treatment. The device is inserted into the nose and upon inhaling, its one-way valves open to let in a full breath. When the user exhales, the air is directed through small vent holes, creating expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) and keeping the airway open.
The small, discreet nasal pillows are available in four sizes to ensure a comfortable fit. Dr. Popper explains that in addition to its small size, another benefit of the device is that it allows the user to sleep in any position and does not make any noise that could disturb others.
“I have been a patient of Dr. Popper since 2004, when I was first sleep-tested and diagnosed having OSA,” a satisfied patient wrote in their review. “After accepting the OSA diagnosis and following all advice by Dr. Popper, setting new sleep habits, getting acclimated to the OSA devices prescribed, using them every night at home and when traveling, my health, my social life, my work quality, my happiness and my family’s reduced concerns during the past 19 years have actually gotten much better.”
