Publication number: 20190099568Abstract: A control system provides automated control of gas washout of a patient interface, such as a mask or nasal prongs. A gas washout vent assembly of the system may include a variable exhaust area such as one defined by overlapping apertures of the assembly or a conduit having a variable gas passage channel. The vent assembly may be formed by nested structures, such as conic or cylindrical members, each having an opening of the overlapping apertures. The vent assembly may be attached substantially near or included with the patient interface. An actuator of the assembly, such as a solenoid or voice coil, manipulates an aperture of the vent assembly. The actuator may be configured for control by a controller to change the exhaust area of the vent assembly based on various methodologies including, for example, sleep detection, disordered breathing event detection, rebreathing volume calculation and/or leak detection.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Applicant: ResMed LimitedInventors: Roger Mervyn Lloyd Foote, Ronald James Huby, Muditha Pradeep Dantanarayana, Damien Julian Mazzone, Dion Charles Chewe Martin, Jeffrey Peter Armitstead, Justin John Formica, Zhuo Ran Tang, Lance Steven Cohen, James William Charles Vandyke, David Brent Sears, Aleksandr S.

Publication number: 20150320960Abstract: A PAP system is adapted for treatment of respiratory disease or sleep disordered breathing and includes a headgear adapted for engaging a patient's head. The PAP system also includes a patient interface adapted to be secured to and sealed against a portion of the patient's face, in use, by the headgear. The PAP system further includes a flow generator adapted to be connected to the patient interface. The flow generator is adapted to be secured by a portion of the headgear to the patient's head. In addition, the flow generator includes a blower adapted to provide pressurised breathable gas to a patient through the patient interface.
