Hi, 

There is patient information on the Inspire website and also a number to call / discuss your own situation. I had a quick read but couldn't find information specific to pacemakers - ring perhaps?

Also, I don't know how old your current PM is but the Microport pacemaker manufacturer (used to be called Sorin) design pacemakers which screen and monitor for sleep apnoea.  I have no idea how that function works but their website and products can be found here:

I hope you get some more direct answers from people with sleep apnoea.

Best Wishes

THank you , I have a cardo appointment in October I hope to find out more at that time as well. 

I just wondered if others also had both the PM and the inspire device installed.  

I am aprehensive to have surgery to install the apnea device howevr sure would be nice to be free of the make and hose attached at night.

Thank you Marybird.

The brouchure I received indicated it does work well with pacemakers.  I appreciate your advice / information. It is somthing I am considering doing.  However it is surgery I am aprehensive to do that, however being free of an attached hose to my head at night would really be nice.
