SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProSomnus, Inc. (“the Company”) (NASDAQ: OSA), a pioneer in precision medical devices for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), today announced that an abstract showcasing data from the First Line Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment study (FLOSAT) has been accepted for an oral presentation at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2023 International Conference, being held from May 19-24 in Washington, D.C.

Designed and conducted by The Antwerp University Hospital (UZA), Belgium, FLOSAT is a prospective, independent, head-to-head, crossover study comparing the effectiveness of precision Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) as first-line treatment versus Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy in patients with moderate to severe OSA.
