Patent number: 10709866Abstract: A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Sally Margaret Hensman, David Robert Kemps, Simon Mordechai Stam, Jason Allan Klenner, Andrew Paul Maxwell Salmon, Mark Samuel Hamilton, James William Stanton, Michael John Andresen, Jonathan Andrew George Lambert, Nicholas Edward Vaughan
