Abstract: An apparatus for supplying a breathing gas at a pressure level that at least in some phases is above ambient pressure includes a blower device including an impeller and a housing device to receive the impeller. A suspension device is structured to support the blower device. The suspension device includes a variable suspension characteristic.

Abstract: A CPAP apparatus for supplying pressurized breathable gas to a patient includes a blower device including an electric motor, an impeller driven by the motor, and a housing to receive the motor and the impeller, a housing element that defines a blower receiving chamber to receive the blower device, and a suspension device to elastically support the blower device within the chamber of the housing element. The suspension device includes at least one elastic support chamber coupled to both the blower device and the housing element.

Abstract: A device for furnishing a breathing gas at alternating pressure levels has a feeder to feed the breathing gas, a pressure adjusting device for triggering the feeder set-point breathing gas pressure signal, furnishes the breathing gas at a set-point, a pressure specification device for generating a pressure signal, and parameter-determination unit for furnishing parameters representative of at least of instantaneous pressure (p), progression of time (t), and instantaneous breathing gas flow (v). The pressure specification device includes a computer circuit configured such that, at least in the expiratory phase, pressure is adjusted on the basis of a dynamic or nonlinear pressure guidance function, which takes parameters into account that are indicative of the breathing gas flow and the progression of time. As a result, the tendency to lowering the breathing gas pressure in conjunction with the extent of the breathing gas flow decreases with increasing progression of time.

Abstract: A modular insert is provided for defining an air path for use with CPAP, VPAP, auto CPAP or a ventilator. The modular air path insert may be provided with one or more sound suppressing structures, e.g., to act as mufflers. The insert can be readily exchanged or replaced, e.g., for hygienic purposes.
