Wake up refreshed thanks to the Tandem Protocol

We apply the latest findings from medical research. Why ?
Unlike most other sleep centers, we sell CPAP only after we have confirmed that the treatment works.
So it's in our interest that this treatment really works!
That's why we designed the Tandem Protocol©.
The tandem protocol is designed to offer you ongoing support, close collaboration with your GP and access to the latest technologies and treatment methods. Discover the key benefits below.
Because your health deserves a tailor-made approach, we work hand in hand with your doctor to offer you attentive, coordinated care.

Process
Each step of our process is designed to guide you in a personalized way towards an optimal solution for your sleep. In 2 to 4 weeks, you'll go through a progressive journey of adjustments, assessments and follow-up to achieve an effective treatment tailored to your specific needs.
01
First night
The equipment is installed and we explain how to use it, as well as good maintenance practices.
02
Between the first and third night
The respiratory therapist analyzes the data collected by modem during the nights of treatment and begins remote adjustments to the device parameters. A telephone appointment is scheduled within the first few days of the Tandem protocol.
03
The following nights
The respiratory therapist continues remote adjustments until optimal parameters are achieved within the limits of the current protocol. Depending on results, a nocturnal oxygenation test may be required.
04
Between the second and fourth week
The respiratory therapist announces the end of the Tandem protocol and presents you with your treatment options. A final prescription may be required.
05
After the fourth week
A report from the pulmonologist will be sent to your referring physician as soon as it is available. Your optimized, personalized treatment can now begin.
You're looking for a treatment that's both comfortable and effective, with professional follow-up to maximize your chances of success.
Our team will analyze your test results, device adjustments, obstacles encountered, health status and persistent symptoms.
If your weight has changed, your treatment must be adjusted.
Sleep apnea is a chronic disease that evolves over time. If your health changes, your sleep treatment needs to be checked and, perhaps, adjusted.
As the years go by, your body changes. We recommend re-evaluating the fit of your device every 5 years. This will maximize its effectiveness.
