Abstract: A pressure support device such as a CPAP machine, is provided, which includes a housing, and a controller enclosed by the housing. The controller operates the CPAP machine independently or in combination with an accessory such as, for example and without limitation, a humidifier. A user interface is operably coupled to the controller and includes a primary display, a secondary display and a single control. The single control is operable in a first mode of operation to adjust operating parameters of the CPAP machine, and in a second mode of operation to adjust operating parameters of the humidifier. The secondary display preferably comprises a dead front, which is operational (e.g., without limitation, visible) only in the second mode of operation. A method of operating a pressure support device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A patient interface device (8) is includes a support frame (14) structured to be fluidly coupled to a pressure generating device, a cushion (12) structured to engage a portion of the face of a patient, and a headgear component (16) structured to secure the patient interface device to the head of the patient. The headgear component has a central interface portion (22), at least one strap member (24A, 24B) extending from the central interface portion, and a frame member (32) provided within central interface portion. The frame member is removeably secured in between the cushion and the support frame and is structured to provide an airtight seal between the cushion and the support frame.

Abstract: A patient interface device includes a fluid coupling member structured to be coupled to a source of breathing gas, and a patient sealing assembly structured to be coupled to the fluid coupling member. The patient sealing assembly includes a central cushion portion, a first side portion and a second side portion, wherein the central cushion portion is structured to enable a size of the central cushion portion to be adjusted in a direction that is generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the patient sealing assembly from a first size configured to provide a nasal/oral mask configured to cover a nose and mouth of a patient to a second size configured to provide a nasal mask configured to cover only the nose of the patient.

Abstract: A patient interface device includes a headgear component having a first end, a second end, and a sealing interface region located between the first end and the second end, wherein the sealing interface region has a hole extending through the elongated fabric body member. The patient interface device also includes a mask component having a cushion and a fluid coupling conduit fluidly coupled to the cushion, wherein at least a portion of the fluid coupling conduit extends through the hole and the sealing interface region covers at least a portion of the cushion. The cushion will be held and supported by the elongated fabric body member in engagement with a portion of the patient's face responsive to the patient interface device being donned by the patient by wrapping the elongated fabric body member around the head of the patient.

Abstract: A pressure support device (50) such as, such a CPAP machine (50), is provided, which includes a housing (51), and a controller (64) enclosed by the housing (51). The controller (64) operates the CPAP machine (50) independently or in combination with an accessory (70) such as, for example and without limitation, a humidifier (70). A user interface (66) is operably (74) coupled to the controller (64) and includes a primary display (72), a secondary display (74) and a single control (76). The single control (76) is operable in a first mode of operation to adjust operating parameters of the CPAP machine (50), and in a second mode of operation to adjust operating parameters of the humidifier (70). The secondary display (74) preferably comprises a dead front (74), which is operational (e.g., without limitation, visible) only in the second mode of operation. A method of operating a pressure support device (50) is also disclosed.
