Patent number: 7905232Abstract: A nasal cannula for delivering respiratory gas to a neonatal infant includes a gas inlet configured to engage a respiratory conduit, a gas outlet configured to engage an expiratory conduit, and a pair of nasal prongs. The gases inlet and the gases outlet are in fluid communication via a low resistance path. Each of the nasal prongs is located substantially equidistant from, and in fluid communication with, the gases inlet, and substantially equidistant from and in fluid communication with, the gases outlet. The nasal prongs are juxtaposed directly in the low resistance path.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2002Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Gregory James Olsen, Martin Leckie, Neil Prime

Patent number: 7017576Abstract: A improved interface is disclosed for delivering CPAP therapy to patients. The interface has a sliding engagement to the headgear. The sliding engagement allows substantial relative lateral movement eg: when face is distorted from sleeping on side, while still providing adequate compressive force to avoid side leakage. The sliding engagement also allows easy release from the headgear.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2003Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Gregory James Olsen, Martin Leckie, Neil Prime, Lewis George Gradon, Nicholas Charles Alan Smith, Alastair Edwin McAuley, Mark Joseph Haycock, Chris Earl Nightingale

Patent number: 6644313Abstract: A pressure regulating device for use with a breathing assistance apparatus which conveys gases to a patient requiring breathing assistance. The device includes a valve member disposed within a valve housing which when gases flowing through the regulator reach a predetermined level at least a portion of the gases are permitted to flow through a vent aperture externally, similar to known pressure relief valves. The present invention includes an adjustment mechanism engaged with the valve member and for adjusting the predetermined level, and a locking mechanism for permanently preventing access to the adjustment mechanism once the predetermined level has been factory set.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2002Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Neil Prime, Martin Leckie
