Publication number: 20230309914Abstract: In certain example embodiments, an air delivery system includes a controllable flow generator operable to generate a supply of pressurized breathable gas to be provided to a patient for treatment and a pulse oximeter. In certain example embodiments, the pulse oximeter is configured to determine, for example, a measure of patient effort during a treatment period and provide a patient effort signal for input to control operation of the flow generator. Oximeter plethysmogram data may be used, for example, to determine estimated breath phase; sleep structure information; autonomic improvement in response to therapy; information relating to relative breathing effort, breathing frequency, and/or breathing phase; vasoconstrictive response, etc. Such data may be useful in diagnostic systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Dion Charles Chewe MARTIN, John David OATES

Publication number: 20210260315Abstract: A flow generator for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a processor coupled with operation sensors and a user interface. The processor is programmed to generate at least one of time-based or event-based messages relating to at least one of flow generator operation, flow generator service, flow generator use, patient health, peripheral devices and services, patient treatment, and reminders. Time-based messages are generated at predetermined time intervals based on either time of use or elapsed time. The event-based messages are generated based on signals from the operation sensors. The user interface is configured to deliver the messages to at least one of a display, a flow generator service provider, the patient and a physician. By this system, operation of the flow generator is facilitated and enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: John David OATES, Mark David BUCKLEY, Philip Rodney KWOK, Mark Alexander ABOURIZK, Thomas Evan MILLER, Simone Marie JEHA, Mark John PAYNE, Muditha Pradeep DANTANARAYANA

Patent number: 10918329Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for determining the occurrence of a closed or open apnea. Respiratory air flow from a patient is measured to give an air flow signal. The determination of an apnea is performed by applying an oscillatory pressure waveform of known frequency to a patient's airway, calculating a complex quantity representing a patient admittance (12) and comparing its value with ranges (14, 16) indicative of open or closed apneas. The method distinguishes open from closed apneas even when the model used to calculate admittance is not based on details of the respiratory apparatus. In addition the patient admittance may be compared with admittance during normal breathing to avoid having to characterize the airway.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Inventors: David John Bassin, John David Oates, Ronald James Huby, Benriah Goeldi

Patent number: 10898672Abstract: An air delivery system includes an air flow generator to provide a pressurized flow of air, a patient interface to provide a seal with the patient's face in use, an air delivery conduit to interconnect the air flow generator and the patient interface, and a controllable vent valve to control venting from the patient interface. The vent valve is controlled to maintain a substantially constant air flow in the air delivery conduit and the air flow generator.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Adrian Barnes, John David Oates, Barton John Kenyon, Benriah Goeldi

Publication number: 20200405984Abstract: A respiratory treatment apparatus provides respiratory treatment with improved power management control to permit more efficient power consumption and power supply units, such as battery powered operation. In one embodiment, power management prioritizes the flow generator (104) over other accessories such as the heating elements (111, 135) of a humidifier (112) and/or a delivery tube. The flow generator may control operations of the heating elements as a function of a detected respiratory cycle. For example, the timing of operation of the heating elements may be interleaved with the portion of an inspiratory phase of the respiratory cycle to permit the flow generator to operate during a peak power operation without a power drain or with a lower power drain from these components. Operations of distinct sets of components of the system (e.g., different heating elements) may also be interleaved to prevent simultaneous peak power operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Applicant: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Ronald James HUBY, Andrew Roderick Bath, John David Oates
