The invention relates to a non-heated humidification device comprising a wick; a chamber for holding water in contact with the wick; and a gas inlet to the chamber, wherein the chamber and wick are configured to humidify gas passing through or over the wick at ambient conditions. The device may be modular and attachable to a flow generator. The device may comprise dual gas circuits and a control system for controlling the gas flow through the gas circuits in order to control the humidity of the gas output.

Humidification device and system

A flow generator for use in respiratory therapy can be constructed with a housing. A support fixation arrangement can be fixed to the housing. The support fixation arrangement can have a tab having an aperture that may be fitted over a hook extending from a support structure. The tab can be fixed to the housing such that it is manually liftable or pivotable about a plane.

Gas therapy system

Humidifier heaterbase

Data related to the adherence of a patient to a therapy regime can be collected from multiple medical devices, each of which may have an incomplete data set with data entries associated with times. Each incomplete data set represents a portion of a complete data set. The data sets can be integrated to create a complete data set with data entries from each incomplete data set being arranged in a temporal sequence with respect to one another. A report may be generated, the report having the data entries of the complete data set or a function of the data entries of the complete data set.

Medical data management system

A flow generatorfor a respiratory therapy system configured to deliver a breathable gas flow to a patient comprises a housingcomprising an inletand an outletand a gas flow path between the inletand outlet. An impeller is mounted within the housingfor rotation about an axis, the impeller configured to be rotationally driven by a motor to provide a gas flow along the gas flow path. Various embodiments are disclosed in which the flow generatorfurther comprises a sensormounted in the housingin the gas flow path and configured to detect a property of the gas flow. The sensormay be mounted in the outletso as to project into the gas flow path. Flow generator may comprise an axial inletand a tangential outlet. In another embodiment the sensormay be mounted in the inlet

Integrated sensor assembly of a respiratory therapy system

A humidification system can include a heater base, a chamber, and a breathing circuit. The heater base includes a heater plate positioned in a recessed region, and a heat conductive portion of the chamber is configured to contact the heater plate. The heater base includes a guard configured to control movement of the chamber into and out of the recessed region. The guard includes an anti-racking mechanism. The chamber includes an inlet port, an outlet port. A downward extension extends into the chamber from the inlet port, and a baffle is disposed at a lower end of the downward extension. A component of the breathing circuit can include a conduit hanging end cap for shipping and storage. The end cap can include a hanging component to allow the breathing circuit component to be hung from a medical stand. The system can detect when breathing circuits are connected in reverse.

Humidification system

A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.

Usability features for respiratory humidification system

A flow generator () for a respiratory therapy system configured to deliver a breathable gas flow to a patient comprises a housing () comprising an inlet () and an outlet () and a gas flow path between the inlet () and outlet ().
