  • Patent number: 10532169
    Abstract: The invention relates to a small, low-noise side channel compressor for producing a defined volumetric flow, such as is needed in particular for devices for ventilation therapy. This is achieved by means of a new type of shape of the blade chambers (24) in the impeller (12) and the blade chamber walls (29), which separate the blade chambers and become thicker toward the circumference of the impeller, supported by a high-speed drive and a large number of blade chambers (24) at a small impeller diameter.

  • Patent number: 10478577
    Abstract: The invention at hand relates to a tracheal applicator for enabling administering high flow therapy to tracheotomy patients, as is known from transnasal insufflation by means of TNI devices and has proven successful. This is attained by an optimized physical simulation of the conditions as available when performing transnasal high flow therapy at the nostril with an inserted prong. The flow of inspiration and expiration flowing through the tracheal applicator is conducted nearly free of turbulences and vortexes owing to further constructive measures while simultaneously preserving an open ventilation system.

  • Patent number: 9078989
    Abstract: The invention relates to an applicator for a nasal cannula, comprising a body (11) enclosing a hollow space (22). The applicator further comprises tube connections (20, 21) for supplying a respirable gas into the hollow space (22). The applicator further comprises prongs (18, 19) for administering the respirable gas into the nostrils of a person. A valve (15, 16, 17, 38, 42) is located in a wall of the body (11) so that respirable gas can flow from the outside through the valve into the hollow space (22), but not in the reverse direction. The invention further relates to an applicator having a top of sealing cones (23, 24), wherein the sealing cones (23, 24) may be provided with rim-shaped sealing lips on their side facing away from the body (11), which produce a tight seal with the inner wall of the respective nostril.
