Publication number: 20240058565Abstract: An apparatus for generating and providing a pressurized breathable gas to a patient's airways includes a respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) device having an engagement port pneumatically and electrically coupled to the RPT device, and an air delivery tube configured to engage the engagement port so as to pass a flow of breathable gas to a patient interface. The air delivery tube includes electric contacts associated with a heating and/or a sensing arrangement. The air delivery tube includes a locking collar rotatably movable between (1) an unlocked position to allow connection/disconnection of the air delivery tube to/from the engagement port, and (2) a locked position to releasably lock the air delivery tube to the engagement port. The air delivery tube is structured and arranged to, when the locking collar is rotated into the locked position, pneumatically connect to the engagement port and define an operational configuration of the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Justin John FORMICA, Dimitri Marco MAURER, Kenneth John TAYLOR, Jeremy William WORKMAN, Andrew CHAN, Sebastien DEUBEL, Craig Edward HARRIS
