Maker of World’s Smallest CPAP Announces First Ever “Travel with Transcend” Sweepstakes; Transcend Caribbean Getaway Cruise Sweepstakes on Facebook Runs Through June 15
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 16, 2011
Somnetics International Inc., the maker of the Transcend travel CPAP, is pleased to sponsor its first Transcend Caribbean Getaway Cruise Sweepstakes on Facebook. Running through June 15, 2011, the sweepstakes will reward one winner with a seven-day/six-night Caribbean Cruise for two which includes stateroom accommodations, shipboard meals and round trip airfare to the cruise departure port. Everyone—specifically sleep apnea patients and their friends and family—is invited to participate by inviting their friends to “like” Transcend on Facebook.
“It makes sense for Somnetics to give away a cruise vacation,” says Somnetics President Ralph Germscheid. “Transcend is the newest travel CPAP on the market and this sweepstakes helps to raise awareness of it as an excellent option for sleep apnea patients to take with them wherever and however they travel.”
What is Transcend

it uses low power consumption
battery pack and mobile power options allows for use in remote locations
a small, hygienic heat moisture exchanger for humidification replaces the humidification chamber
it’s universal AC power supply automatically converts power current outside the United States
it is FAA compliant to use on board an aircraft
it automatically compensates therapy pressure to altitudes of up to 8,000 feet
About Sleep Apnea
According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, nearly 20 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea and those with obstructive sleep apnea—a condition that causes a person to stop breathing during sleep when the soft tissue in the throat collapses—tend to have high blood pressure, heart problems, headaches, and memory problems. OSA can also be linked to job impairment and motor vehicle crashes. Both men and women can develop sleep apnea, but it is more common in men, particularly middle-age men who are also overweight. Approximately half of those suffering from sleep apnea also have a snoring problem.
