Revision C
The Puritain Bennett GoodKnight® 420G device (GK420G) is intended for treating patients with Sleep Disordered Breathing including Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). The main characteristic of this pathology is the occurrence of multiple respiratory events caused by contraction of the upper airways that disturb sleep. The GoodKnight 420G delivers a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) that prevents the upper airways from becoming obstructed thus eliminating apneas.
