  • Patent number: 12161798
    Abstract: Systems and methods can determine whether a patient is attached to a respiratory device (such as to via a patient interface) by analyzing a flow parameter signal in the time domain. Additionally, the processes can classify the patient attachment status into one of the four categories: detached, attaching, attached, or detaching. The system can include a non-sealed patient interface, such as a nasal cannula in a nasal high flow therapy, or any other patient interfaces. Data of the patient's use of the respiratory system can provide therapy compliance and long-term trend of use information and/or progress in the patient's respiratory functions and/or other physiological functions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2024
    Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited

  • Publication number: 20240115824
    Abstract: Systems and methods can determine respiratory rates of a patient using a respiratory device by performing one or more frequency analyses of a signal from the gases flow. The signal from the gases flow can be one that varies with the patient's breathing. The system can include a non-sealed patient interface, such as a nasal cannula in a nasal high flow therapy, or any other patient interfaces. The respiratory system can also detect whether the patient has taken off the patient interface and/or whether the patient connected to the patient interface is talking or eating. Data of the patient's use of the respiratory system and the patient's respiratory rates can provide therapy compliance and long-term trend of use information and/or progress in the patient's respiratory functions and/or other physiological functions.

  • Publication number: 20220331548
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a control system for a flow therapy apparatus. The control system can control delivery of a fraction of delivered oxygen (FdO2) to a patient. The control system can maintain the FdO2 at a target level during a therapy session. The control system can automatically control an oxygen inlet valve in order to control the flow of oxygen to the patient.
