  • Patent number: 9844636
    Abstract: A pressure support device such as a CPAP machine, is provided, which includes a housing, and a controller enclosed by the housing. The controller operates the CPAP machine independently or in combination with an accessory such as, for example and without limitation, a humidifier. A user interface is operably coupled to the controller and includes a primary display, a secondary display and a single control. The single control is operable in a first mode of operation to adjust operating parameters of the CPAP machine, and in a second mode of operation to adjust operating parameters of the humidifier. The secondary display preferably comprises a dead front, which is operational (e.g., without limitation, visible) only in the second mode of operation. A method of operating a pressure support device is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050172392
    Abstract: An air bath has air jets arranged in rows extending around the side walls of the water basin. The rows of air jets are spaced vertically so that they are at different heights within the basin and so that air jets in the higher row(s) realize less pressure from the water in the basin. Air is delivered to the air jets through a ring-like air manifold formed of a single channel or multiple channels, the latter allowing for air flow control to different zones of the tub.
