Patent number: 11759590Abstract: In a respiratory apparatus for treatment of sleep apnea and other disorders associated with an obstruction of a patient's airway and which uses an airflow signal, an obstruction index is generated which detects the flattening of the inspiratory portion of the airflow. The flattening index serves as an obstruction index used to differentiate normal and obstructed breathing. The obstruction index is based upon comparison of values of airflow in different sectors of the inspiratory peak of the wave function and is particularly suitable for distinguishing M shaped or square shaped respiratory patters patterns indicative of partially obstructed airways.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey Peter Armitstead, Chinmayee Somaiya

Publication number: 20230248928Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide communications among respiratory therapy device (“TD”), server and intermediary (e.g., a control device (“CTLD”) for the therapy device) to improve security. More secure communication channel(s) may be established using shared secrets derived with different channels. The communications may include transmitting therapy data from TD to server for authentication. The CTLD may receive the data and a nonce from a server. The CTLD receives from the TD a signing key dependent on the nonce and a secret shared by TD and server. The CTLD generates an authorisation code with received therapy data and the key for authentication of the data by the server upon its receipt of the code and data. The server computes (1) a key from the nonce and the secret known to TD, and (2) another authorisation code from received therapy data and the key. Data authentication may involve comparing received and computed codes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: ResMed Inc.Inventors: Brian HICKEY, Christopher John Roberts, Chinmayee Somaiya, Wendall Eric Trull, Luke Anthony Tucker, Amila Jeewaka Fernando

Patent number: 11612712Abstract: A modularized respiratory treatment apparatus provides various respiratory pressure treatments. The apparatus may be formed by discrete connectable modules such as a flow generator module, alarm module and/or humidifier module. Each module may include its own external casing or housing to independently retain or enclose the respective components that serve the function of the module. Different modules may be adapted with different components and functionalities and may be readily coupled using standardized gas and electrical connection configurations that have flow and communication paths that extend through the modules. When coupled, operation of the respiratory treatment apparatus may be controlled by detection of different modules, such as the alarm module that generates visual and/or audible alarms based on detected conditions, so as to selectively enable or disable different respiratory treatments.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Inventors: Mark Bertinetti, Zhuo Ran Tang, Craig Laing, Jing Wen Xie, Jianhua Zhu, Chinmayee Somaiya, Graham Stephen Cutcliffe, Sandra Robyn Curtis, Peter Milliken, Dimitri Marco Maurer

Publication number: 20230053852Abstract: Apparatus and methods provide system characterisation such as for operation of respiratory treatment apparatus. Such a characterisation may include a determination of a patient interface type and/or an event such as a leak or blocked vent. For a characterisation, one or more controller(s) or processor(s) may be configured to make a determination of parameters that best fit a template curve, such as a quadratic function, to a plurality of measurements, such as data points. Each data point may include a pressure value, and a flow rate value at the pressure value. Parameters from the function may then be applied, such as with a data structure to characterize the system, such as with an identification of the patient interface type from the parameters. In some versions, parameter(s) of operation of the apparatus may be adjusted based on the characterisation, such as by using the parameters of the template.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2020Publication date: February 23, 2023Applicant: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Liam HOLLEY, Chinmayee SOMAIYA, Dinesh RAMANAN, Gordon Joseph MALOUF

Patent number: 11351319Abstract: CPAP treatment apparatus is disclosed having a controllable positive airway pressure device. A sensor generates a signal representative of patient respiratory flow that is provided to a controller. The controller is operable to determine the occurrence of an apnea from a reduction in respiratory airflow below a threshold determined from long term ventilation. When an apnea or hypopnea has occurred the calculation of the threshold is suspended until the end of that event.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Inventors: Matthew Alder, Steven Paul Farrugia, Chinmayee Somaiya
