  • SWIVEL CONNECTOR
    Publication number: 20230173213
    Abstract: A connector is described that may be configured to connect between a first tube and a second tube. The connector has an internal component and an external component. The external component has a first end and a second end. The first end has an external taper and an internal coupling face that may be configured to interact with the first tube and the second end may be configured to interact with the second tube. The internal component may be configured to rotate independently to the external component. The external component has a gripping region to aid the user in disconnection of the connector. An attachment mechanism may attach the second tube to the internal component.

  • HEATER PLATE FOR RESPIRATORY HUMIDIFICATION SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20220339393
    Abstract: A respiratory humidification system humidifies a flow of respiratory gases supplied to a user. The system can include a main housing that receives a humidification chamber, a heating plate included in the main housing and positioned to contact the humidified chamber and transfer heat to the humidifier chamber, and a heating element that provides heat to the heating plate. The heating element can include a temperature sensor disposed in a central region of the heating element. Disposing the temperature sensor in the central region can reduce a likelihood that conductors of the heating element will cause an incorrect temperature measurement by the temperature sensor.
