This randomized crossover, benchmark clinical trial aims to compare the Philips Amara View and ResMed AirFit F40 minimal contact full face masks on patient preference of mask attributes and usage parameters. At the first study visit participants will be fitted with either the Amara View or the AirFit F40. The order in which participants will use the masks will be randomized. After the fitting and completion of informed consent, eligibility, and baseline questionnaires, participants will take home the first mask and use it with their prescribed PAP device for 15-days. After the first 15-day time period participants will return for their second visit. At this visit participants will return the first mask to the study team and complete a survey on the mask attributes. They will then be fitted with the second study mask and will be given the mask to take home and use with their prescribed PAP device for 15-days. At the end of the second 15-day trial period, participants will return for the third study visit. At this visit they will return the second mask and complete a mask attributes survey on the second mask.
Participants will be recruited via a sleep clinic contracted to recruit participants within the United States. Study staff will be responsible for assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Scheduling will be conducted by the site. Participants who are willing to enroll will be scheduled for an in-person visit to provide informed consent and complete study procedures. During the baseline visit, review the Informed Consent Form (ICF) with the participant explaining and answering any questions the participant may have about the study. If the participant is willing to take part in the study, the ICF will be signed and dated by the participant and the site study representative obtaining consent. Those who provide consent will then complete the Demographics Questionnaire, Baseline Mask Survey, and Eligibility Questionnaire to confirm entry criteria. Participants will be asked to bring their prescribed mask and PAP device to Visit 1.At the initial visit, participants will undergo a fitting of the mask they are randomized to start the study with; either the Amara View or the AirFit F40 mask. Participants will be fit with mask sizes recommended by the clinician. The clinician will use the provided sizing gauges for the Amara View and AirFit F40 masks respectively. Once a mask size is selected for the first study mask, the participant will undergo short trials using his or her own PAP machine at therapeutic pressure, and an assessment of mask fit will be performed. If the participant's PAP device is not available, they will be fitted with the mask and will undergo short trials using a PAP device provided by the site. Participants may be fitted with up to three mask sizes for the mask. A Mask Fitting Survey will be used to capture the participant's prescribed pressure, mask (cushion/frame) sizes and fitting observations for the first study mask.
After the mask fitting, participants will be given the first study mask to take home. They will be encouraged to use the mask for the full 15-days of the first trial period. After the first 15-day trial period with the first study mask, participants will return to the site for their second study visit. Participants will be instructed to bring their PAP device and the first study mask to the visit. Participants will complete a mask attributes survey on the first study mask and then they will be fitted with the second study mask. Fitting procedures will follow the same procedure as described above in the baseline visit. After the mask fitting, participants will be given the second study mask to take home. They will be encouraged to use the mask for the full 15 days of the second trial period. After the second 15-day trial period with the second study mask, participants will return to the site for the third and final study visit. During this visit, participants will complete a mask-attributes survey on the second study mask and return all study product.

| Amara View Minimal Contact Full Face Mask | Device | The Amara View Full-Face Mask is a minimal contact full face mask manufactured by Philips Respironics (Murrysville, PA) that covers the mouth and seals under the nose compared to traditional full-face masks which seal over the nose. The Amara View mask is intended to reduce discomfort on the bridge of the nose. There is no forehead arm, offering patients an enhanced design to keep the field of vision clear. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Preference on Mask Attributes | Comparison in satisfaction ratings between the Amara View and the AirFit F40 on mask attributes including: bed partner satisfaction, fit, comfort, ability to maintain a seal during use, stability of the mask, noise level, air venting, comfort of breathing, sleep quality, visual appeal, and overall satisfaction. The scale for each mask attribute ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates the lowest satisfaction and 10 indicates highest satisfaction. Each mask attribute was rated and analyzed individually; the scores from the separate mask attributes were not totaled. | up to 35 days |
| Ease of Use | Ease of use and satisfaction ratings between the Amara View and the AirFit F40 on the following parameters: mask clips, mask overall, assembly, disassembly. The scale for each ease-of-use attribute ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates the most difficult and 10 indicates the easiest. Each ease-of-use attribute was rated and analyzed individually; the scores from the separate attributes were not totaled. | up to 35 days |
| Difference in Net Promotor Score | Difference in the Net Promotor Score between the Amara View and AirFit F40. The Net Promotor score is based on a 0 to 10 scaled question "Would you recommend this (Amara View FFM or AirFit F40) mask to others?" where 0 indicates "unlikely to recommend" and 10 indicates "likely to recommend". The 0 to 10 scale is grouped into three categories: promoters (ratings 9-10), detractors (ratings 0-6), and neutral (7-8). Net Promoter Scores (NPS) were calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters: [% Promoters] - [% Detractors]. Ratings of 7-8 were considered neutral. The NPS scale ranges from -100 to 100. Scores less than 100 indicate that the percentage of detractors exceeds the percentage of promoters. Scores greater than 100 indicate the percentage of promoters exceeds the percentage of detractors. A NPS score of 0 indicates the percentages of promoters and detractors are equal. | Up to 35 days |

| Leak | Comparison of leak values between the Amara View and F40. | up to 35 days |
| Number of Sleep Apnea Events Per Hour Measured by the Residual Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) | Comparison of residual Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) between the Amara View and F40. Residual AHI refers to the remaining or persistent apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) after a patient has undergone treatment, typically continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It represents the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour of sleep that still occur despite treatment. |
