Publication number: 20230414897Abstract: A float retention arrangement and related methods for a humidification chamber that includes at least one float that operates an inlet valve that controls a flow of water through a water inlet opening of the humidification chamber. A cover of the humidification chamber defines an interior space, at least one gas port and a float retention opening. A component forms at least a portion of a water supply conduit for supplying water from a water source to the water inlet opening. The component is insertable into the float retention opening and is positionable to contact and retain the at least one float in a non-use position. In some configurations, the component can be a water spike.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventor: Jess Edward DONNELLY

Publication number: 20230381436Abstract: A respiratory flow therapy apparatus including a sensing chamber which measures a flow of gases provided to a patient. The sensing chamber can be located after a blower and/or mixer. The sensing chamber can include an ultrasonic transducer, a temperature sensor, a heated temperature sensing element, and/or a gas concentration sensor. A flow path of gases used in conjunction with the sensor system prevents unwanted vorticity in the flow of gases that can create anomalies in measuring flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Russel William Burgess, Jess Edward Donnelly, Dean Antony Barker, Philip John Dickinson, Andre Van Schalkwyk, Joel Michael Lawson
