A patient interface for supplying a flow of breathable gas to the airways of a patient may comprise a heat and moisture exchanger (HME). The HME may be positioned in a flow path of the flow of breathable gas. The HME may absorb heat and moisture from gas exhaled by the patient and the incoming flow of breathable gas to be supplied to the patient's airways may be heated and moisturized by the heat and moisture held in the HME.

Heat and moisture exchanger for a patient interface

Methods of an apparatus determine a quantity of a body of water in a humidifier such as by indirect measurement. The quantity of water may be determined by measuring one or more properties or characteristics, from which the quantity of water may be inferred. Characteristics of a flow of air, the humidifier, and/or the body of water may be measured. The characteristics may be, for example, pressure, flow rate, noise, vibration, temperature, electrical or mechanical. These may be measured by one or more sensors, which may be located in the humidifier, RPT device, air circuit or the patient interface. The methods described may have advantages, for example in being able to detect the quantity of water without requiring sensors to be present in a disposable component, and in some cases, without introduction of additional sensors.

Methods of detecting a quantity of water in a humidifier

A water reservoir configured to be removably connected to a respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) device has a water reservoir base configured to hold a volume of water to be used for humidification of the breathable air, a water reservoir lid connected to the water reservoir base, a retainer configured to engage with a corresponding portion of a water reservoir dock associated with the RPT device, thus securing the water reservoir to the water reservoir dock, and a portion of the lid being configured to receive a downward force to cause movement of the retainer against the bias of a spring, thus allowing removal of the water reservoir from the water reservoir dock.

Humidifier reservoir

A respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) device is disclosed for treatment of respiratory-related disorders. The RPT device includes a pressure generator, a pneumatic block, a chassis and a device outlet for delivering a supply of flow of gas to a patient interface. The RPT device also comprises an integrated humidifier including a water reservoir. An RPT device is also disclosed that includes a wireless data communication interface integrated with the housing and configured to connect to another device or a network.

Respiratory pressure treatment system

An apparatus for humidifying a flow of pressurised, breathable air includes varying a first pressure of the flow of breathable gas to vary a level of thermal engagement between the conductive portion of the reservoir and the heater plate, varying a height of the variable portion varies a level of thermal engagement between the conductive portion of the reservoir and the heater plate, use of a humidifier reservoir base component with a maximum water capacity substantially equal to the predetermined maximum volume of water of the humidifier reservoir or the use of intersecting inlet and outlet axes.

A respiratory conduit apparatus that conducts a breathable gas for respiratory therapy may include electrical circuit components to assist with therapy. In an example, a delivery conduit for connection with a patient interface and a respiratory therapy device may include a cuff having a microcontroller unit. The cuff may be configured with circuit components for accessory identification, gas characteristic detection for therapy control, heating and communications. In some versions, the delivery conduit may include a controller in a circuit board assembly located at an end of the delivery conduit. The printed circuit board may be configured to control and power the components of the cuff, as well as communicate with a respiratory therapy device.

Conduit for respiratory therapy apparatus

An apparatus for treating a respiratory disorder in a patient includes a blower configured to generate a supply of pressurized respiratory air to the patient via an air delivery tube leading to a patient interface; a dock with a heater plate; and a reservoir comprising a conductive portion configured to thermally engage the heater plate.

Apparatus for treating a respiratory disorder in a patient

A water reservoir includes a reservoir base configured to hold a predetermined maximum volume of water to be used for humidification of pressurized breathable air, a reservoir lid pivotally connected to the reservoir base to allow the water reservoir to be movable between an open position and a closed position, the reservoir lid comprising an inlet and an outlet, and a seal configured to sealingly engage the reservoir lid and the reservoir base when the water reservoir is in the closed position, wherein the reservoir base includes an overfill protection element having an egress path for water at a predetermined location.

Positive airway pressure delivery console

A humidifier for humidification of air to be delivered to a patient's airways may include a humidification chamber, a reservoir and a water delivery mechanism. The humidification chamber may include a water retention feature such as a wick, a heating element for heating the humidification chamber, and an air flow baffle configured to promote humidification. The humidifier may be further configured to execute one or more algorithms, for example to determine a condition of the humidifier and/or to mitigate any detected faults. In some forms, the humidifier may also comprise algorithms for controlling one or more components of the humidifier.
