Abstract

A method includes generating acoustic data representative of at least one or more reflections of an acoustic signal. The one or more reflections are indicative of a length and/or a diameter of a conduit coupled to a respiratory therapy device. The method further includes analyzing the acoustic data to determine the length and/or diameter of the conduit. In some cases, analyzing the acoustic data includes determining a resonant frequency of the conduit, and determining the length of the conduit based at least in part on the resonant frequency. In some cases, analyzing the acoustic data includes comparing the acoustic data to predetermined sets of acoustic data that each correspond to a known length and/or diameter of the conduit, and selecting one of the predetermined sets of acoustic data that best matches the generated acoustic data. The selected set of acoustic data corresponds to the length and/or diameter of the conduit.
