Patent number: 10463827Abstract: A ventilator with integrated breathing air humidifier has at least two defined air pathways provided in the breathing air humidifier. The breathing air humidifier is installed and fixed on a horizontal surface of the ventilator. The breathing air humidifier comprises at least a top part and a bottom part, a water reservoir being provided in the bottom part, wherein the top part cannot be removed from the bottom part when the unit is in at least one operating mode. The ventilator may have an air humidifier with at least one water reservoir, and at least one filling device for the water reservoir in the breathing air humidifier, wherein the filing device can be operated with one hand and/or opened with one hand.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2014Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: LOEWENSTEIN Medical Technology S.A.Inventors: Karl Andreas Feldhahn, Wolfgang Wedler, Matthias Pulla, Christof Göbel, Thomas Ress, Frank Herrmann, Stefan Hein, Christian Kluin, Joachim Gardein

Patent number: 10252013Abstract: A respiratory device having a respiratory gas source, a control unit and a connecting device for connecting to a respiratory mask. The control unit is connected to a sensor for detecting a measurement parameter. The control unit has a step generator for specifying a stepped modification of the pressure that is generated by the respiratory gas source. The sensor measures a signal that corresponds to the pressure distribution and is coupled to an analyzer that evaluates the temporal distribution of an analysis signal that is dependent on the measuring signal. The step generator increases the pressure by a pressure step in a respiratory cycle that follows the measuring evaluation, if the analyzer determines a deviation of the analysis signal from a limit value after a predeterminable time limit has elapsed following the pressure increase. The deviation must exceed a predeterminable minimum differential in order to trigger a pressure increase.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2013Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: LOWENSTEIN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY S.A.Inventors: Wolfgang Wedler, Björn Tiemann, Christof Göbel

Publication number: 20110100365Abstract: The invention relates to a respiratory device comprising a respiratory gas source (20). a control unit (13) and a connecting device for connecting to a respiratory mask. The control unit is connected to at least one sensor (15) for detecting a measurement parameter. The inventive method controls the respiratory device. The control unit has a step generator (19) for specifying a stepped modification of the pressure that.is generated by the respiratory gas source. The sensor is configured to measure a signal that corresponds to the pressure distribution and is coupled to an analyser (18). The analyser evaluates the temporal distribution of an analysis signal that is dependent on the measuring signal and the step generator increases the pressure by a pressure step in a respiratory cycle that follows the measuring evaluation, if the analyser determines a deviation of the analysis signal from a limit value after a predeterminable time limit has elapsed following the pressure increase.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2004Publication date: May 5, 2011Inventors: Wolfgang WEDLER, Björn Tiemann, Christof Göbel

Patent number: 7475685Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for detecting leaks in respiratory gas supply systems. Both the pressure and the volume flow of the respiratory gas are detected and the relevant values are supplied to an evaluation device. The evaluation device is used to calculate both the respiratory parameter resistance and compliance and the leak for at least two successive breathing cycles. At least one control parameter with different signal amplitudes is pre-determined for the successive breathing cycles. The leak resistance is determined from the resulting differential sequences of pressure and flow for the successive breathing cycles.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Weinmann Geräte fär Medizin GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Florian Dietz, Wolfgang Wedler, Christof Göbel
