“We saw strong customer adoption of our range of new flow generators: the Astral, AirSense 10, and the recently launched AirCurve 10 series of cloud-connected bilevel devices. This quarter, we continued to build our informatics capabilities with the acquisition of Jaysec, a provider of cloud-based software solutions for the home medical equipment industry, as well as the integration of our AirView patient management system with leading informatics partners.”

Our innovative products and solutions improve patient outcomes, lower healthcare costs, and reduce the impact of chronic disease.”
