Yes. The FDA has granted RESPeRATE a specific blood pressure lowering indication after it successfully completed the clinical trials designated by the agency. RESPeRATE is the only medical device with such an indication and the only hypertension treatment available without a prescription (OTC). See FDA 510K# K020399

Yes, in many ways. Many of our customers were able to lower their blood pressure so their doctors were able to avoid placing them on medication in the first place, add medications or increase the dosage. Others were able to work with their doctors to decrease their medication dosage and even come off them completely (step-down procedure). In any case, it is very important that you do NOT change your medication regime without your doctor’s consent. To download a clinical information package for your doctor click here

RESPeRATE is a portable electronic device that guides the user to slow, deep breathing with prolonged exhalation. RESPeRATE is cleared by the FDA for lowering blood pressure and reducing stress. It is not a drug and clinically proven. It’s available without a prescription.

RESPeRATE’s breathing sensor, placed on the upper abdomen, automatically analyzes your breathing pattern and creates a personalized melody composed of two distinct inhale and exhale guiding tones. It is defined by some medical experts as a bio-feedback device.

Simply listen to the melody through the headphones, and the body’s natural tendency to follow external rhythms will enable you to easily synchronize your breathing to the guiding tones. By gradually prolonging the exhalation tone to slow down breathing, RESPeRATE leads you to the therapeutic zone of fewer than 10 breaths per minute with prolonged exhalation.

Within a few minutes of the breathing session, the muscles surrounding the small blood vessels in the body relax, blood flows more freely, and blood pressure is significantly reduced. While breathing returns to normal after each session with RESPeRATE, the beneficial impact on blood pressure accumulates. Within three to four weeks, a significant, lasting reduction in blood pressure occurs.

Provided it is used for the recommended time of at least 40 minutes per week, blood pressure will remain lowered between sessions. RESPeRATE will not reduce blood pressure under the normal; it has a normalizing effect. RESPeRATE’s blood pressure lowering effect has been validated to the point it is now recommended by the American Heart Association 2013 Scientific statement on non-pharmacological treatments for hypertension.

Yes & No. 2breathe Technologies, the company that manufactures and distributes RESPeRATE has developed a mobile App called “2breathe”. The 2breathe App, together with a BLE sensor, guides the user to slow breathing. The App uses the same technology used in the RESPeRATE, but it never went through clinical trials and so, cannot claim to lower blood pressure. The 2breathe / Resperate App is recommended for relaxation and sleeplessness.
