A blower is disposed in a main flow passage of a main unit of a CPAP device. An upstream flow passage connected upstream of the main flow passage is in a base unit. A sealing member secured to the base unit of the CPAP device has an annular shape surrounding a second outlet from outside. The shape of an opening of the sealing member at a distal end edge in the extending direction is a shape surrounding a first inlet from outside. The dimension of the sealing member in the extending direction is greater than the dimension of the sealing member in the thickness direction. When the main unit is attached to the base unit, the dimension of the sealing member in the extending direction is greater than a minimum distance from a proximal end of the sealing member in the extending direction to the main unit.

CPAP device with sealing member between two detachable units

The present disclosure relates to a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device which sends, into an airway of a user, air sucked into the device. A body unit as a first unit has a cylindrical first lead-out portion through which air circulates. A base unit as a second unit has a third introduction portion to which the first lead-out portion is to be connected. A body-side terminal is provided as a first terminal with conductivity at the first lead-out portion of the body unit. A base-side terminal is provided as a second terminal with conductivity at the third introduction portion of the base unit. The body-side terminal is in contact with the base-side terminal while the body unit is attached to the base unit.

CPAP device

A fluid control deviceincludes a casingconfigured to house a cylindrical infusion tubeand a droplet detecting sectionconfigured to detect the amount of droplets dripping from a nozzlein the infusion tubehoused in the casing. The infusion tubeincludes a flange protruding outward. The casingincludes an engagement member. The engagement memberincludes a flange configured to engage with the flange in the infusion tubein a direction along the longitudinal direction of the infusion tubeand fix the infusion tube and a fixation surface configured to fix the infusion tubein a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the infusion tube

Fluid control device

A sticking type deep-body thermometer is provided that includes a body temperature measurement unit having a wiring substrate on which four temperature sensors and a processing circuit are mounted. The thermometer includes an upper case accommodating the body temperature measurement unit, an lower case that is in close contact with the upper case and a peripheral edge portion, and a sticking member stuck to an outer side surface of the lower case. The sticking member is formed in a sheet-like shape, has a pair of sticking surfaces with adhesiveness, and one sticking surface of the pair of sticking surfaces is stuck to the outer side surface of the lower case in a peelable manner.

Sticking type thermometer

A fluid control device includes a tube insertion portion formed in a casing, a fixing member that fixedly holds, in the tube insertion portion, a tube inserted into the tube insertion portion, a pressing member driven by an actuator to press the tube within the tube insertion portion, and a controller that controls the actuator for the pressing member, wherein the controller controls the pressing member to start pressing on the tube after the fixing member has fixedly hold the tube in the tube insertion portion.

A dropping rate measuring device for measuring a flow rate of liquid droplets which grow on a lower end of a nozzle and intermittently drop from the lower end of the nozzle includes an imaging unit that images a growing liquid droplet which is growing on the lower end of the nozzle at a plurality of time points and acquires a plurality of pieces of image data of the growing liquid droplet, and a data processor that calculates the flow rate by analyzing the plurality of pieces of image data acquired by the imaging unit.
