- Subjects must have verified airflow through both nostrils and an ability to close their soft palate.
- The subject must have the ability to create bi-directional flow using a placebo OptiNose device with a nasal outflow of >20 L/min.
- The subject must have the ability to trigger the Breath Actuation Mechanism of an OptiNose device in accordance with the Instructions For Use.
- Subjects who have visible pedunculated polyps on nasal endoscopy.
- Subjects who have undergone surgical treatment for nasal polyps during the previous 3 months.
- Subjects with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
