A ventilator, including an enclosure; a tubing configured to receive an input gas; a flow outlet airline in fluid communication with the tubing, wherein the flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet, and the flow outlet airline is configured to supply an output gas to a user via the airline outlet; a breath detection airline including an airline inlet, wherein the airline inlet is separated from the airline outlet of the flow outlet airline, and the breath detection airline is configured to receive breathing gas from the user during exhalation by the user via the airline inlet; a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline, wherein the pressure sensor is configured to measure breathing pressure from the user, and the pressure sensor is configured to generate sensor data indicative of breathing by the user.

Mechanical ventilator with oxygen concentrator

An oxygen delivery apparatus wearable by user includes a frame including nose pads connected to a bridge portion, an oxygen inlet defined by one of the nose pads, an oxygen inlet defined by the frame, and a hollow channel contained by the frame. The oxygen inlet and oxygen outlet are in fluid communication via the hollow channel. The frame can be formed as a monolithic structure using additive manufacturing. A nasal prong can be connected to the oxygen outlet such that a prong outlet of the prong is in fluid communication with the hollow channel. The prong outlet is positioned within a nostril of the user during use of the apparatus. A method of fabricating the frame includes obtaining measurement information for at least one of a head feature or facial characteristic of the user and generating a digital model of the oxygen delivery apparatus using the measurement information.

Oxygen delivery apparatus using eyeglass frames

A ventilator includes a bidirectional breath detection airline and a flow outlet airline. The flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet. The flow outlet airline is configured to be connected to an invasive ventilator circuit or a noninvasive ventilator circuit. The breath detection airline includes airline inlet. The airline inlet is separated from the airline outlet of the flow outlet airline. The ventilator further includes a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline. The pressure sensor is configured to measure breathing pressure from the user and generate sensor data indicative of breathing by the user. The ventilator further includes a controller in electronic communication with the pressure sensor. The controller is programmed to detect the breathing by the user based on the sensor data received from the pressure sensor.

Mechanical ventilator with non-invasive option

Nasal cannula

A check valve can include a pressure actuator or an electromagnetic actuator. The check valve includes a valve inlet, a valve outlet, and flap disposed between the valve inlet and the valve outlet. The pressure actuator in fluid communication with the valve inlet. The check valve has an open state and a closed state. The check valve is configured to allow an input gas to flow from the valve inlet to the valve outlet when the check valve is in the open state. The check valve is configured to preclude the input gas from flowing from the valve inlet to the valve outlet when the check valve is in the closed state. Upon actuation of the pressure actuator or the electromagnetic actuator, the flap moves away from the valve inlet to allow the inlet gas to move from the valve inlet to the valve outlet.

Check valve

A ventilator includes an enclosure, a tubing configured to receive an input gas, and a flow outlet airline in fluid communication with the tubing. The flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet. The ventilator further includes a breath detection airline including an airline inlet. The airline inlet is separated from the airline outlet of the flow outline airline. The ventilator further includes a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline. The ventilator includes a controller in electronic communication with the pressure sensor and an internal oxygen concentrator in fluid communication with the tubing. The internal oxygen concentrator is entirely disposed inside the enclosure.

A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system and methods for controlling each PSA cycle performed by the PSA system to produce oxygen enriched gas during productive portions of a user breathing cycle, and to cease production of oxygen enriched gas during non-productive portions of the user breathing cycle, is provided. The PSA system synchronizes PSA cycle phases including adsorption and desorption phases with a user's individual inhalation and exhalation phases, on a breath by breath basis, such that each PSA cycle can be dynamically varied from a succeeding PSA cycle, in real time in response to variations in the user's breathing cycle. An oxygen delivery device including a breathing cycle sensor provides breathing cycle inputs to a controller for use with at least one algorithm to detect breathing flow phases during each user breath, and to synchronize each PSA cycle to the user's breathing flow phases, on a breath-by-breath basis.

Mechanical ventilator

A breathing apparatus includes a flow outlet airline in fluid communication with the tubing and breath detection software. The flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet, and the flow outlet airline is configured to supply an output gas to a user via the airline outlet. The breathing apparatus further includes a breath detection airline including an airline inlet. The breath detection airline is configured to receive breathing gas from the user during exhalation by the user via the airline inlet. The breathing apparatus further includes a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline. The pressure sensor is configured to measure breathing pressure from the user and to generate sensor pressure data indicative of breathing by the user. The controller is programmed to predict the breathing by the user based on the sensor breathing data received from the pressure sensor.
