As a person who's distributed CPAP machines to patients I've always known the micro CPAP to be a fake product. I'm glad to see more professionals are standing up to these frauds taking advantage of desperate people looking for a solution.
💪👍
I wish manufacturers would come up with something like this that actually worked because the traditional machines/masks are absolutely horrid.
Is there anything you would reccomend my dad has a huge snoring problem my mom and dad sleep in seperate rooms and im searching for a solution
@@PurplePandasROCK123 I'm sure they're working on it but physics is against you with those piezo-electric blowers. You need to be able to displace enough air to fill your lungs in each breath and something that small simply doesn't have the volume. Maybe one day.
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon does it really stop snoring while sleeping?
An honest and necessary video. A lot of media stunt about this product, without a single person assisted. Great public utility. Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Got a social ad for this and nearly bought it straight away as its so easy within the walled garden of Instagram and Apple Pay. Very glad I didn't and googled the product first. What a brilliant debunk this video is, thank you for taking the time to make it!
Thank you so much for this!! I was really close to buying one for myself and one for my husband.
Thank you for testing these things. You are right, people with OSA (including those already receiving partially - but sadly not completely - effective treatment) are desperate for improvement and it does make us vulnerable to those wanting to profit from misery, even to those with good intentions, and it helps to have expert opinions on options that become available.
I'm glad i'm doing my bit. Good luck with your OSA
Appreciate you being honest and helping others learn about it
Thank you. I recently saw one advertised (NZ) and was tempted as I need a travel cpap when camping. It's so cheap, I thought it was dodgy. Whoever manufactured this really can't lose because they got $2m to develop it and have priced it so cheaply, it'll sell in the millions too. Needs more people to say "Don't buy!"
Did you ever figure out a solution for camping? I can't sleep without mine!
@@cory8791 I use a travel CPAP (ResMed Airmini) which works great. The issue is weight, especially when you factor in enough battery power to last for a multi day backpacking trip.
Thanks for exposing this scammer I actually thought this was a real machine
If I can prevent one person from buying these devices I would be happy
Thank you for busting them!
my pleasure, it was a lot of fun.
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon Dittos Sir! I saw this when it came out and looked at it and new better that to put my money into it. That said, where did you get the "test" device? Thanks again for your excellent videos.
I'm glad I found this video, but the issue is CPAP machine are $600 to well over $1000. It's just stupid. It blows air. Our medical system is broken.
Thanks for the review! A device like this would be a great improvement if it worked, but for now I will stick with my Resmed and nasal mask. They have been a life-changer for me ever since I was diagnosed with OSA.
Reamed had a recall just informing you if you didn't know
So cute when he looked at the feather in the end! great video.
I’d be curious to see you review the actual product now that it’s live! Would make a great update.
Really hope they can make a microCPAP in the future that actually works. Would be as revolutionary as penicillin for many people.
I see this advertised everywhere, mostly on Instagram, and I always report is as a scam (which it is). I just don’t know how anyone could thing that it would generate ANY air pressure at all (which you’ve proven) let alone the kind of air pressure one needs for the average CPAP treatment. Thanks for this vid!
it makes me so annoyed when I see those ads. I'm glad you thought it was effective. I'm off insta now.
Thank you so much Doctor Veer for everything that you do. Can you please compare and contrast mandibular advancement devices with CPAP devices - like, which patient profile suits either device? Would really appreciate it, as many of us who struggle with the gold standard CPAP machines are desperate to know if there exist meaningful alternatives (unlike this Airing scam)
Mandibular advancement devices is a huge topic, and I am preparing videos for this. will slowly get through everything eventually 🙂
Where can I buy this
AIRING
Tks Mr. Veer I was almost buying it... it's unbelievable how some people use the marketing to act litteraly deceiving us.
Great video,opens the eyes. I would also say that the problem by using it increases,as it blocks the upper airways through nose and aggravates OSAS
Thanks for your commitment to improve my life and the lives of fellow sufferers.
Thank you Dr , I wanted to get one of those devices but thanks to your information .... no way .
perfect!
I want to buy it today after my research I got your video, thank you for the help 🙏
I bought one of these and it worked, but it wouldn't stay in my nose. I rigged up a strap to keep it in my nose and it worked great. I found that it wouldn't really push air in, but it made it harder to exhale, which increased the pressure in my throat, and kept my airway open. It works great if you can get it to stay in the nose.
No one is discussing the Bongo RX or the Optipillow. I can't wear a CPAP so I've used the Bongo for three years, it works completely on my moderate sleep apnea. These are EPAPs, look them up, brilliant, they just sit on your nose, no electricity, tiny tiny little device. Solved my problem.
Interesting...I was just looking at some nasel inserts, and guess what I came across? Your device being sold. Glad you showed me the truth of it befor I spent money
Thank you so much. Was thinking about this but didn't think it could work. Thanks for proving its a scam.
Looking for help with snoring and was about to try this from a Face Book ad, thank you for the review.
Thankyou so much for this. i had no ideas about these I have an odd type of apnea and the doctors have not offered to help - so naturally i was curious. i don't go looking and i don't trust on line ads - but - i saw one, looked up on Google and found you. Thankyou!
Wow, I've been wondering how well these devices work, but its significantly worse than I thought. Thank your for making this video. I won't waste my money on this.
another bogus ad showing on Instagram! thank you SO much for reporting this!
Thank you for being honest hard to find people like you
You should read how this device functions, the fans need positive airflow in (like your breath) before they kick on and start to create a flow pressure.
I tried that as well. sorry.
Thanks for testing these. I was about to buy one before I saw this.
Thank you very much for testing this device I was just going to buy it then I stopped and saw your video thank you very much
😂👍 thankyou for giving insight and saving our money .
🤣 best funny moment when you showed your face behind the feather
Did you perhaps forget to turn it on?
Thank you so much for sharing this information! Before purchasing I decided to listen to the video. Imagine a company spending millions of dollars on a fake product they know is a scam trying to deceive people into purchasing so they can make tens of millions of dollars.
Praise Jesus for this video.
I ALMOST bought this.thanks for the vid.
Thank you for saving me $30!
Saw this on Facebook and was interested. Thanks for the review
I can't help but wonder if it would generate more air pressure if the inlet of the fan wasn't blocked by the table.
Agree good observation :) Have you tried this device? Looks like great potential though! Was hopeful.
I think the inlet is actually exposed in his demonstration but I'm not sure the airflow is meant to be enhanced when it is static like that. Your nose is plugged and there is air inlet as well as outlet. .. Numerous things cause me to dismiss this video. It doesn't appear he has even tested it in its intended application.
@@gliptitude this is a piece of crap. How do you think this is going to generate enuf airflow? There are other videos out there talking about this too. If you want to waste your money it's up to you.
if you've experienced CPAP pressure you should be able to see that no blowing device that small could POSSIBLY pump enough air flow to work.
Thank you for the honest review.
I couldn't be more grateful to u tube for exposing this scam as I was going to buy a few of these machines on the internet
I am finally approved for the Inspire machine. I am hoping to get it in the next 6 months. It gets put in my chest. No more pressure on my temple, forehead and the back of my head.
Please let us know how you make out. I’m very interested in Inspire as a solution for my apnea.
If James Bond didn't use it. Then neither would I. Great video.
Thanks for this. I bought one of these after seeing a Facebook add some years ago. It did nothing and when I pulled it apart, there wasn't anything inside that would help OSA.
Thank you man. You just saved me money. ❤
This is really bad that people are making money from this non-device. Thank you for taking the time to review all of these products.
my pleasure!
Bought it for my husband on Amazon didn’t work and return this item.. Your right!
i was diagnosed a moderate obstructive sleep apnea, i hoped it can help me doc, am in the phils, i can't afford to buy a cpap machine up to now, thanks for airing
Sorry to hear that - why not try a mandibular advancement device? they can be cheaper?
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon the doctor who diagnosed me at first is a sleep pulmonologist then i have already have a 2nd opinion an ent doc they want me to undergo a sleep endoscopy test then proceed to an operation i am afraid, is it safe? i have also have other ailments like asthma, glaucoma and others, i have never heard of mandibular devices here they keep on insisting me to buy a cpap machine which are costly.
I saw that device in ads and thought it was ingenious but now I see it’s total snake oil. Thanks!
Just a couple thoughts on your testing / commentary (as a longtime OSA patient, I am certainly not defending this product....but I did want to mention a couple things)
1. Unless you can seal the CPAP devise around the edge, it will not build up pressure to move what you're placing on it, the air will flow around the object (though the feather not even moving is comical, I may have to spend 19USD on it just to see if that is true).
2. Somewhere you implied that just being inserted into the nostrils will not work. On my BiPAP machine (I have both OSA and Central Apnea) I have a mask that only fits into the nostrils and works fine. The way it was explained to me was that the mouth naturally wants to be closed. Maybe I heard you incorrectly?
1. please do spend the cash and let me know if you have any better luck.
2. what i mean is that without a strap around the head the pressure from CPAP BiPAP etc would just blow out of the nostrils - there is no way it would just stay sitting in the nose.
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon Thanks for responding, doubt I'm going to spend any money on this....but thanks for the clarification on point #2, that makes sense to me. I do still have to use a strap on mine.
Thank you Doctor 😊
I am accutally thinking about buying this machine after watching this video no thanks ( thankyou for making this video)
You didn't even prove it was turned on..
thank you for saving me $100. great video. thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this!!
Great video and thanks for exposing this TOTAL SCAM PRODUCT.
Hello Dr. Veer,
I am the vet student that you saw months ago that recommended the youtube timestamps! I was supposed to have a phone consult with you today (12/05 2:30pm), however my clinical rotations placed me on farm rotations this 2 weeks . I was waiting for your call with my phone in front of me from 2pm to 330pm, however I did not realise my poor signal along with the wifi settings of the campus prevented your call from most likely going through via 4g/wifi calling.
I was very much looking forward to your call the past few months and should have probably rescheduled had I known my rotation schedule location would have conflicted. I have written you an email on Mycare as well, hopefully I wouldn't have to wait months before speaking to you again.
I am very much looking forward to better my condition and am looking forward to hearing from you and follow your advice again soon.
-Jimmy
Hi there! Yes - I was wondering what happened to you today. I don't think i'm allowed to change the clinic now - it's all a bit too late. The NHS has rules about these things. let me look into it for you.
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon Yea terribly sorry for making it difficult for you. I literally had my phone in front of me the whole time and even told my supervisors I that I was expecting an important call from 2-3 today.
I understand there's a process with everything, let me know what I need to do or who to contact as well to get everything back on track!
Thank you so much!!!!
Dear Doctor, I'm really struggling with sleep apnea since past 2 years and couldn't be recovered even after I had 2 surgeries nose and throat. Can you please advise the best solution or a device that would really help me. Thank you Doctor .
Thank you & highly appreciated!
Thank you for the info
I bought one of these off Amazon. Tonight’s the first night I’m trying it, so I’ll let y’all know if it works or not. I’m glad I bought it on amazing cuz if it doesn’t work I can just return it.
Thank you so much!!! They almost got me!
Very informative.
5 stars.
Thank you for that always research before buying.
Just saw an ad on Facebook so they’re very much around
Thank you for the informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
I bought one and a strap just to get by while my cpap is updated. I need sleep and I’m desperate. I stop breathing multiple times a night. Since my cpap quit working I’m sleeping maybe 4-5 hours and it’s choppy sleep. Not straight through. Thankfully I have an appointment tomorrow with a sleep specialist
Dr. Veer, as of this time and to my knowledge there isn't a successful cure for sleep apnea. Something that would restore the body to its full natural functioning on its own without
the need for a device such as a CPAP machine is what I mean. The surgeries that have been applied to the problem seem not to have been successful and sometimes make things
worse. Is there research into finding a full cure? Maybe people should support through their donations accomplishing this.
It doesn't seem that a full cure for sleep apnea should be a daunting problem for medical science to figure out. The cause of the interruption of the breathing mechanism is fully known.
All the advancements to address the problem have been in the modification of machines.
Thanks a lot of help.was going to get one.not now
That's great news. Not useful for wax removal IMHO
Yes, thank you, I need to go no further in my research re. this device. As you have so definitely shown, it will not work.
Awesome review and test
Thank you very much for your review!!!
iNap is not marketed in India. I have an AHI Rating of 6.6. How good are other Nasal Dialators for Sleep Apnea. I don't find CPAP Machine comfortable. Please help...
Thank you!
Thank u for the review doctor
Thanks for sharing this saves me £20
Thank yo for the heads upi.
Thanks a ton..I was about buy this
The latest information from Airing is that they have prof of concept but do not yet have a product. If they don't have a product than where did you get one to test.
I got one, but I get more positive air pressure when the cat farts
The problem is -
One suspects or identifies one has sleep apnea & become afraid to go to sleep.
You go see a Dr & it is 2 months or longer before you can get a CPAP.
One needs to sleep between the time you identify the problem & obtain the solution.
You will try anything.
Thank you for the review
What a relief that these devices have been professionally and fairly debunked. They’ve had undeniable intense marketing, including pop up ads and “actual” people singing their praises...add cheap copies of the original and it gets worse! My advice after years seeking relief from sleep apnea is to consider tongue or nasal devices as tested on this channel by Dr Veer...as with so many effective medical treatments we’re biologically individual, so It’s worth trying different devices to find one that helps your type of sleep apnea...
great summary, thank you!
You are absolutely right! You are the man! I've been using CPAP Resmed S8 since 5 years with a nasal p10 "mask" which is the same size. You'll never get the same air pressure from any micro-machine as resmed gives you! Probably in year 2100...
I've used a similar product before but it wasn't powered tho. It was uncomfortable and fell out every time I fell asleep.
Thanks so much for this!
Dude thank you SO MUCH
very informative - thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I wish you worked in Australia, because I would certainly be one of your patients.
I purchased one. Found it didnt move any air at all. I held a candle flame too it. Nothing. No flickering of the flame. They are garbage.
Thank you
Thanks doc.
Thanks
very kind of you, thank you!
Thanks for sharing this
I experimented with mouth taping to force only nasal breathing during sleep. I am still snoring, as I have an app on my phone that is triggered by noise, to record audio events in my sleep. However.... I experienced a massive difference in the mornings I taped, that did not. The nitric oxide that only comes through nasal breathing makes a profound difference. This is not going to work with a lot of people even with nasal strips, which I also use at night, but as long as it's not allergy season for me, I can breathe fine through my nose. Mouth breathing is in and out too fast, and the flow never gets to your extremities. With nasal breathing, you breath in longer, and exhale longer. I'm pretty sure I do have some form of apnea caused by soft pallet sagging in my sleep, but it doesn't reverberate through the entire house out my mouth now, and keep everyone awake. I also feel less tired during the day, and no longer wake up with pins and needle feeling in my toes from poor circulation.
Which kind of tape do you use ?
Was on proper mashine. Takes week or so to get used to mask but even 4-5 hrs a night means alot and equals to 8-10 hrs a sleep without it with snoring. My advice is to buy a mask tht covers mouth and nose rather then just nose as its more sensitive to ur nose only. Also spend lil more and buy automatic rather then manual as it pumps air only when u need it and not pump enourmous pressure soonest u put it on as it can be irritating and harder to fall asleep where automatic will only push small amounts while u stil awake and breathing on “ur own and once u asleep in my case it pumped alot to keep my air regulated.
Was it even on? Cus with the feather you would see at least some of the outlying fibres moving? no movement whatsoever
