Abstract: A module for an oscillometry system of the type having an oscillatory flow source, the module comprises an enclosure adapted to be releasably connected to a core assembly of the oscillometry system. The enclosure defines a breathing flow pathway adapted to be in fluid communication with the oscillatory flow source. A user port is at a first end of the breathing flow pathway configured for receiving a breath of a user. A calibration file specific to the module is programmed as a function of the breathing flow pathway and configured for being used by the oscillometry system to assess breathing parameters for the user.

Abstract: An oscillometry device comprises a casing. A user portion forms a conduit entering into the casing, the conduit adapted to receive a breath of a user and, an oscillometry measurement system operatively connected to the conduit in the casing and adapted to produce oscillometry measurement signals from the breath of the user. A user support interface projects from the casing in a common direction with the user portion, the user support interface vertically supporting the oscillometry device relative to a user when the user has his or her mouth on the user portion, the user support interface being made of a flexible deformable material.

Abstract: A method for acquiring oscillometry measurements with an oscillometry measuring system comprises receiving oscillometry measurements, using at least one processor of the oscillometry measuring system, the oscillometry measurements being from at least one oscillometry recording. Parameters are identified in the oscillometry measurements. An objective function(s) is calculated from the parameters of the oscillometry measurements. The objective function(s) is evaluated as a function of at least one predetermined threshold. The oscillometry measurements are accepted or rejected from the evaluating. Oscillometry data is output using the oscillometry measurements if accepted from the evaluating. A system for acquiring oscillometry measurements is also provided.

Abstract: A respiratory device filter (10) comprises a housing (12) having a mouthpiece (16) and a body (18). The housing (12) defines an inner sidewall (34) and a conical filter (14) is disposed within the housing (12). The conical filter (14) includes a first end that defines an apex (42) and a second end that defines an opening (44). An apex retention member (46) extends from the inner sidewall (34) and is secured to the apex (42) of the conical filter (14).

Abstract: A versatile valance light fixture having a light emitting member that can be easily removed for maintenance or replacement, as well as being relatively easily customizable in terms of the direction and the color of the light that it is emitting toward its surrounding space. Furthermore, a plurality of versatile valance light fixtures can be easily connected in a daisy chain configuration.
