Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center (805-557-9930) announces the availability of Bongo RX, an FDA-cleared nasal therapy device for treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

Thousand Oaks, United States, November 24, 2025 -- Recognizing the challenges that many patients face with traditional sleep apnea treatments, Thousand Oaks-based Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center has announced the availability of Bongo RX. The FDA-cleared device uses Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) technology to treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), offering an alternative for patients seeking different treatment options.

The clinic explains that Bongo RX is designed to help alleviate the effects of OSA through a unique mechanism. The device features nasal pillows that form a seal just inside the nose, with small valves that open and close during normal breathing. When a user exhales, the valves close and direct air through precisely sized openings, generating EPAP that keeps the airway open until the next inhalation begins.

According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, approximately 30 million adults in the United States have sleep apnea, though many cases remain undiagnosed. The National Sleep Foundation reports that untreated OSA can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke, making effective treatment options increasingly important for patient health outcomes.

Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center notes that the addition of Bongo RX is intended to provide patients with more choices when addressing their sleep apnea. The device's compact design and ease of use make it suitable for travel and may appeal to those who have found other treatment methods challenging to maintain consistently.

"We understand that every patient's sleep apnea journey is different, and what works for one person may not work for another," a clinic representative states. "Having multiple treatment options available allows us to work more effectively with patients to find approaches that fit their specific needs and lifestyles."

Founded in 1984 as a single-bed facility, Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center became one of the nation's first freestanding sleep laboratories accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine in 1985. Now located at 317 S. Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks, the facility serves patients throughout Southern California, including Malibu and Los Angeles. Dr. Popper holds Board Certification in Sleep Disorders Medicine from both the ABSM and the ABIM.

"Dr. Popper is an exceptional sleep specialist who makes you feel confident about your treatment plan," one patient recently stated. "He's friendly, caring, and always takes time to answer questions thoroughly. You leave knowing you're in good hands."
