Publication number: 20220218936Abstract: A humidifier heater base assembly has a heater plate with a thermally conductive portion and a perimeter portion around a perimeter of the heater plate. A resilient member has an inner part attached to the perimeter portion and an outer part adapted to provide a resilient perimeter flange around at least part and preferably the whole of the perimeter portion. The resilient member fixes the heater base to the humidifier by the resilient perimeter flange such that the heater plate and the inner part can move relative to the humidifier in a direction substantially transverse to the general plane of the heater plate. At least a portion of the resilient perimeter flange remains stationary relative to the humidifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Venkata Subbarao POTHARAJU, Yi-Cheng SUN, Dominique Richard D'ANDREA, Andrew Paul Maxwell SALMON

Publication number: 20220118208Abstract: Breathing tube assemblies for use with a respiratory therapy device, such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, includes an elbow that permits adjustment of a position of the breathing tube assembly relative to the respiratory therapy device. In some arrangements, the breathing tube assembly includes a breathing tube and a swivel elbow. The breathing tube is rotationally fixed relative to the respiratory therapy device and the swivel elbow rotatable relative to the breathing tube. In other arrangements, the breathing tube assembly includes an elbow that can be coupled to the respiratory therapy device in one of several possible positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Jeremy Livingston Miller, Dominique Richard D'Andrea

Publication number: 20210353895Abstract: The disclosure relates to medical tubes and methods of manufacturing medical tubes. The tube may be a composite structure made of two or more distinct components that are spirally wound to form an elongate tube. For example, one of the components may be a spirally wound elongate hollow body, and the other component may be an elongate structural component also spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body The tube need not be made from distinct components, however. For instance, an elongate hollow body formed (e.g., extruded) from a single material may be spirally wound to form an elongate tube. The elongate hollow body itself may in transverse cross-section have a thin wall portion and a relatively thicker or more rigid reinforcement portion. The tubes can be incorporated into a variety of medical circuits or may be employed for other medical uses.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Christopher Jaye Norman AMADIO, Elmo Benson STOKS, Charles Christopher NORTH, Mahran Maumoon SUJAU, Joshua Daniel STROOBANT, Gavin Walsh MILLAR, Matthew Liam BUSWELL, Ibrahim AL-TIAY, David Leon MCCAULEY, Andre VAN SCHALKWYK, Katja MUNKELT, Matthew Robert WILSON, Helgard OOSTHUYSEN, Sanjay Parag PATEL, Dominique Richard D'ANDREA, Grant Martin DOVER, Dean Antony BARKER, Jonathan David HARWOOD

Publication number: 20150359989Abstract: A humidifier heater base assembly is disclosed for use in a humidifier which is used for heating and humidifying a flow of respiratory gases supplied to a user. The assembly preferably includes a heater plate having a thermally conductive portion and a perimeter portion around the perimeter of the heater plate, and a resilient member having an inner part attached to the perimeter portion. An outer part of the resilient member is adapted to provide a resilient perimeter flange around at least part and preferably the whole of the perimeter portion. The resilient member is adapted to allow the heater base to be fixed to the humidifier by the resilient perimeter flange in such a manner that the heater plate and the inner part can move relative to the humidifier in a direction substantially transverse to the general plane of the heater plate. At least a portion of the resilient perimeter flange remains stationary relative to the humidifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2015Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Venkata Subbarao Potharaju, Yi-Cheng Sun, Dominique Richard D'Andrea, Andrew Paul Maxwell Salmon
