Patent number: 10874819Abstract: A gas humidification system can have a conduit defining a gas passageway. A mass of a first absorbent material can be located in the conduit. A mass of a second absorbent material can cover at least a part of the surface of the conduit. An orifice can be located on the conduit to allow communication between the first and second absorbent materials. A heating element can be placed within, on, around, or near the first absorbent material. The heating element can heat up moisture in or on the first absorbent material such that the moisture is encouraged to join gases passing through the gas humidification system.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Andrew Paul Maxwell Salmon, Guohua Bao, Nordyn Alami

Publication number: 20200289778Abstract: A gas humidifier can have a gas channel comprising an inlet and an outlet. A portion of the gas channel can have a region having a reduction in cross-sectional area relative to the portions of the gas channel outside of the region. A water conduit can extend from the region to a water reservoir. A heating element can heat water entering the region from the water conduit. Water vaporized using the heating element can join the flow of gases passing through the gas channel in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2020Publication date: September 17, 2020Inventors: Igor Olegovich Yatsevich, Andrew John Partington, Nordyn Alami

Publication number: 20200147335Abstract: An electrically conductive plastic (ECP) material can be used to heat water in a reservoir of a respiratory humidifier to encourage heating and/or humidification of gases passing through the respiratory humidifier. The electrically conductive plastic material can at least in part overmould the base and/or walls of the chamber and/or the reservoir of the respiratory humidifier. The reservoir can also partially or fully be formed from the electrically conductive plastic material. Furthermore, the humidification system can be configured to create substantially equal or differential heating of water in the reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2019Publication date: May 14, 2020Inventors: Jeremy Livingston Miller, Nordyn Alami, Andrew John Partington
