Publication number: 20200129725Abstract: The present invention provides for an improved method of determining a water out condition in a humidified gases supply apparatus. The method includes a two step process including a primary determination of a water out condition and a secondary determination of a water out condition. This primary determination is made during observation of the normal operation of the apparatus. During the secondary determination the method takes temporary control over the humidifying part of the apparatus. The secondary determination confirms or contradicts the primary determination.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Inventors: Dean Antony Barker, Jack Che-Wei Hsu, Jae Chul Han
