Publication number: 20240058565Abstract: An apparatus for generating and providing a pressurized breathable gas to a patient's airways includes a respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) device having an engagement port pneumatically and electrically coupled to the RPT device, and an air delivery tube configured to engage the engagement port so as to pass a flow of breathable gas to a patient interface. The air delivery tube includes electric contacts associated with a heating and/or a sensing arrangement. The air delivery tube includes a locking collar rotatably movable between (1) an unlocked position to allow connection/disconnection of the air delivery tube to/from the engagement port, and (2) a locked position to releasably lock the air delivery tube to the engagement port. The air delivery tube is structured and arranged to, when the locking collar is rotated into the locked position, pneumatically connect to the engagement port and define an operational configuration of the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Justin John FORMICA, Dimitri Marco MAURER, Kenneth John TAYLOR, Jeremy William WORKMAN, Andrew CHAN, Sebastien DEUBEL, Craig Edward HARRIS

Publication number: 20220072244Abstract: A respiratory system is configured to pressurize and deliver a flow of respiratory gas to a patient's airways. The respiratory system includes a cushion configured to sealingly engage the patient's face and a blower mounted to the cushion and configured to pressurize a flow of respiratory gas. An interface structure is attached to an outlet of the blower and an aperture in the cushion. The interface structure forms a gas flow path between the cushion and the blower. The gas flow path is configured to deliver the pressurized respiratory gas from the blower through the aperture in the cushion. The gas flow path is also configured to vent exhaled gas from the aperture in the cushion to atmosphere. The respiratory system also includes headgear configured to support the cushion and the blower on the patient's face.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Adam Francis BARLOW, Clementine LE LOC'H, Dmitri Anatolievich DOUDKINE, Craig Edward HARRIS, Robert Edward HENRY

Publication number: 20190175851Abstract: A PAP system is adapted for treatment of respiratory disease or sleep disordered breathing and includes a headgear adapted for engaging a patient's head. The PAP system also includes a patient interface adapted to be secured to and sealed against a portion of the patient's face, in use, by the headgear. The PAP system further includes a flow generator adapted to be connected to the patient interface. The flow generator is adapted to be secured by a portion of the headgear to the patient's head. In addition, the flow generator includes a blower adapted to provide pressurised breathable gas to a patient through the patient interface. The blower is at least partially vibrationally isolated from the patient's head by at least one foam layer mounted within the flow generator to secure the blower. The at least one foam layer is adapted to reduce the amount of transmitted vibration received by the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2019Publication date: June 13, 2019Inventors: Adam Francis BARLOW, Clementine LE LOC'H, Dmitri Anatolievich DOUDKINE, Craig Edward HARRIS, Robert Edward HENRY
