Patent number: 10821251Abstract: A nasal cannula for use in a system for providing a flow of respiratory gases to a user is described. The nasal cannula comprises a body made from a pliable material. The body has an inlet and at least one nasal prong fluidly connected to the inlet. In use a conduit providing a flow of gases to the cannula is connected to the inlet, and the nasal prong is inserted into a user's nostril. The cannula is arranged to direct the flow of gases from the nasal prong towards the front wall of the user's nasal passage within the user's nose.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Alastair Edwin McAuley, Jason van Beurden, Craig Karl White, Tristan Andrew Leslie, Christopher Earl Nightingale

Publication number: 20150209542Abstract: A nasal cannula arrangement for use as part of systems for delivery respiratory gases to a patient is disclosed. The nasal cannula arrangement includes a manifold part adapted to receive gases from a delivery conduit. The manifold includes one but preferably a pair of prongs extending upward and curving towards the rear of the manifold. The prongs are inserted into the nostrils of the patient and deliver gases to a patient. The prongs have a cut out on the rear side of the prongs. The cut out forms a gases outlet in the prongs and are shaped such that the area of the cut out area is greater than the cross sectional area of the prongs at the entry point to the prongs.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2015Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventors: Nicholas Alexander Hobson, Steven Charles Korner, Craig Karl White, Jason Van Beurden

Publication number: 20060266359Abstract: A pressure relief valve is disclosed that may be used as both an over pressure control valve, preventing possible barotraumas to the patient; or as an overpressure control valve for a breathing circuit preventing over pressures caused by blockages in a breathing circuit (supplying breathing gases to a patient) with the potential to damage either the humidifier or the breathing circuit. The pressure relief valve comprises a magnetic seating that is associated with an outlet vent formed on a breathing assistance apparatus, and a magnetic cover capable of covering the seating and the outlet vent. The cover is held against the seating by a magnetic force between the cover and the seating.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2006Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventors: Jason Van Beurden, Reginald Orton

Publication number: 20050077726Abstract: A connector for use with a conduit to supply gases to a user is disclosed. The connector comprises a pair of connectors, adapted to fit together and swivel relative to one another. More particularly, the connector may comprise a female and male connector assemblies, adapted to be push fit together. The female connector assembly preferably has an extended shoulder and a number of triangular guide slots, the slots being shaped so as to be wider at one end. The male connector assembly preferably comprises a connector and a sleeve that when joined, cannot be easily separated by axial or torsional tension applied to either, but may rotate freely relative to each other. The sleeve preferably has a number of guide ridges running axially along its outside surface that slidably mate with the guide slots on the female connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2004Publication date: April 14, 2005Inventors: Craig White, Jason Van Beurden
