A CPAP device includes a flow generator, a humidifier, and a connector between the flow generator and the humidifier. The connector includes a connector having an attaching portion and a flexible sealing portion configured to sealingly engage a flat, external surface around a first hole when the humidifier is removably received by a cradle, and the connector forming a passage for pressurized air to flow from the flow generator to the humidifier.

Compliant coupler or adaptor

A PAP device is configured to deliver a pressurized flow of respiratory gas to a patient's airways and includes a flow generator with a blower configured to pressurize the flow of respiratory gas. A flexible face seal is positioned at an outlet end of a blower discharge path. A tub configured to hold a body of water and humidify the pressurized flow of respiratory gas includes a heat conducting base plate and a side wall. A base supports both the flow generator and the tub and includes a floor with a heater plate and a spring biased catch configured to secure the tub to the base. The spring biased catch is configured so that applying a downward force on the tub so that the tub presses against the floor of the base secures the tub to the base and allows the tub to be released from the base.

Humidifier and/or flow generator for CPAP device

A positive airway pressure device includes a blower and a base. A blower outlet passage is connected to the blower and has a central tubular portion and a flexible sealing portion surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the central tubular portion. The base receives a tub with a heat conducting base plate, an internal air passage configured to receive the pressurized flow of respiratory gas from the blower outlet passage, and a pair of tub flanges extending laterally from respective side walls of the tub. Each tub flange has a horizontal portion and a tapered portion. The base further includes a floor with a heater plate a pair of base flanges. Each base flange extends laterally inward from a respective one of the side walls and engages a respective tub flange as the tub is inserted into the base with the tapered portions of the tub flanges being received first.

A nasal assembly for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a frame having an integrally formed first connector portion. A nozzle assembly includes a gusset or base portion and a pair of nozzles. At least one inlet conduit is structured to deliver breathable gas into the frame and nozzle assembly for breathing by the patient. A pair of second connector portions are removably and rotatably connected to respective first connector portions of the frame and are in communication with respective inlet conduits, e.g., directly or via angle connectors. A headgear assembly is removably connected to the pair of second connector portions and/or the angle connectors so as to maintain the frame and the nozzle assembly in a desired adjusted position on the patient's face.

Mask assembly

A CPAP device includes a flow generator with a blower configured to pressurize the flow of respiratory gas. A flexible face seal is positioned at an outlet end of a blower discharge path. The flexible face seal includes an aperture and a lip curling inwardly from a perimeter of the flexible face seal. A tub configured to hold a body of water and humidify the pressurized flow of respiratory gas includes a heat conducting base plate and a side wall. The side wall has a substantially flat portion that surrounds an air inlet opening. A base supports both the flow generator and the tub and includes a floor with a heater plate. A laterally positioned guide prevents the tub from being removed from the base in a vertical direction and includes a pair of C-shaped channel portions with open sides that face each other.

A humidifier assembly is configured to humidify a pressurized flow of breathable gas from a flow generator of a CPAP unit and includes a base configured to be attached to the flow generator, the base including a recess portion. A water receptacle is configured to be received within the recess portion of the base and includes a floor and a flange around an opening at the top of the water receptacle. A lid is hingedly attached to the base and is configured to pivot between an open position and a closed position. This lid includes a top wall, an outer depending wall, an inner depending wall in the form of a double wall, and an outlet pipe. A lid seal is attached to an underside of the top wall of the lid by way of a tongue and groove structure. A catch is located on the base and configured to lock the lid in the closed position.

Breathable gas apparatus with humidifier

A flow generator for a CPAP system configured to deliver a pressurized flow of respiratory gas to a patient's airways includes a housing and a motorized fan positioned within the housing. The motorized fan is configured to pressurize the flow of respiratory gas. In addition, an outlet port is provided in the housing. The outlet port is configured to connect to a humidifier or an air delivery tube and is in communication with an outlet of the motorized fan. The flow generator further includes a water collection receptacle in communication with the outlet port and the motorized fan outlet. The water collection receptacle is configured to collect water entering the flow generator through the outlet port before the water reaches the motorized fan outlet.

Nasal assembly

A breathable gas supply apparatus has a flow generator configured to pressurize a flow of breathable gas and a humidifier base unit configured to be coupled to the flow generator. A water container is configured to be removably coupled to the humidifier base unit and includes an air inlet and an air inlet passage extending into an interior of the water container from the air inlet. The air inlet passage is configured to direct the pressurized flow of breathable gas in a direction that is substantially parallel to a base of the water container. A barrier wall is provided across an outlet end of the air inlet passage and extends downward from the air inlet passage toward the water container base. In addition, a curved wall opposes both the outlet end of the air inlet passage and the barrier wall and extends downward toward the water container base. The breathable gas supply apparatus also includes a connector defining an airflow passage between an outlet of the flow generator and the air inlet of the water container.
