New, Practical CPAP for Truckers on Display at March 2011 Healthy Trucking Association of America Summit
First Venue to Exhibit Transcend Sleep Apnea Therapy System

The Healthy Trucking Association of America (HTAA) Summit will be the first venue to exhibit the new Transcend Sleep Apnea Therapy System. To be held at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta on March 1-3 this year, the HTAA Summit is the trucking industry's premiere health and wellness event focused on improving the health of the nation's professional driver population. Attracting trucking fleet safety directors, HR directors, recruitment and retention managers, and other fleet executives and industry leaders, this year's Summit will feature sessions on sleep disorders, obesity and weight loss, hypertension and heart health, respiratory health, diabetes, and more.

Transcend is a new wearable OSA therapy device designed to overcome hurdles associated with using a bulky, hassle-ridden traditional CPAP. Weighing about 1 lb, the FDA-approved Transcend is the smallest CPAP on the market. It is easy to operate, uses low power, replaces the messy humidification chamber with heat moisture exchange technology, and has optional battery back-up. Transcend will be on display at the Summit on March 2 and 3.
