Organization	Organization Description of Business Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative and minimally invasive solutions for patients with obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA"). Our proprietary Inspire system is the first and only FDA-approved neurostimulation technology that provides a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. We have developed a novel, closed-loop solution that continuously monitors a patient's breathing and delivers mild hypoglossal nerve stimulation to maintain an open airway. Inspire therapy received premarket approval ("PMA") from the United States ("U.S.") Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in April 2014 and has been commercially available in certain European markets since November 2011. In June 2018, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved Inspire therapy to treat moderate to severe OSA, and we are currently seeking reimbursement coverage in Japan.
