SNAP Laboratories is a private medical device and service company dedicated
to improving the diagnosis of sleep-related breathing disorders. Public
and professional awareness of the prevalence and potential serious consequences
of snoring and sleep apnea is growing rapidly. Medical experts project that
over 50 million American adults snore habitually. In addition, approximately
5-10% of the adult population suffers from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is under-diagnosed
because the standard method of diagnosis requires an overnight hospital
stay which can be costly, inconvenient and uncomfortable for patients. Recognizing
the need to improve diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders,
SNAP Laboratories was founded in March, 1994. We are dedicated to developing,
manufacturing and marketing products to aid in the diagnosis, analysis and
management of respiratory disorders with an initial focus on obstructive
sleep apnea and snoring outside the traditional hospital setting. After
receiving FDA clearance of the SNAP Sleep Apnea and Snoring Analysis System
in 1995, SNAP began marketing in 1996 and today is considered the largest
sleep center in the world.
SNAP is the leader in the development of technology for the detection of
sleep apnea and the analysis of snoring patterns. We perform more diagnostic
tests in a month than the average traditional sleep laboratory performs
in a year. The SNAP Test uses a proprietary digital sound recording and
blood oxygen recording and analysis system to help physicians choose the
best course of treatment for patients. The SNAP Test has been prescribed
by thousands of medical professionals throughout the United States and administered
in the privacy of more than 50,000 patients' homes. SNAP's commitment to
provide innovative, convenient, cost-effective solutions for respiratory
disorders uniquely positions us in the largely untapped sleep disorders
market.
