Premier Diagnostics is proud to offer a one of a kind, innovative education session for CPAP users.
Sandman Pro is a personalized, 1 hour coaching and education session for CPAP patients who are seeking instruction on maximizing the use of their CPAP equipment. Our respiratory therapist will also review the proper cleaning of CPAP supplies, replacement schedule of supplies, and offer the re-fitting of a new mask or nasal pillow interface that will ensure the best comfort and compliance with CPAP use. This is a non-insurance covered service that is being offered as an option for patients looking for a highly informative and personalized coaching experience on their CPAP treatment. Our respiratory therapist has over 15 years of professional sleep testing and treatment experience and understands the roadblocks and pathways to success with CPAP.

• Having a difficult time with the fit or comfort of their CPAP mask / Nasal pillows
• Unsure of how to care for their CPAP equipment
