Publication number: 20180236198Abstract: A respiratory mask for use with a patient, and that is suited for use with children, includes a flexible cushion arranged to interface with and deliver air to the patient's nose. The cushion has a tube connection portion at one or both sides adjacent the patient's nares, the tube connection portion being arranged to connect to an air delivery tube. This location, plus the very low profile of the mask, allows a patient (e.g. an infant) to sleep on their face more comfortably. A more rigid support structure adjacent the cushion is provided to stabilize the cushion and prevent it from collapsing. Headgear is also provided and arranged for releasable attachment to the support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2018Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Lee James VELISS, Carmel Theresa HARRINGTON, Philip Rodney KWOK, Philip John GUNNING, Joshua Adam GUDIKSEN, Bart Jeremy CAFFIN, Richard SOKOLOV, Ian Frederick JOHNSON, Eric SIU

Patent number: 9636466Abstract: A retractable syringe, plunger and releasable needle assembly including a retractable needle, a needle seal, a retaining member and an ejector member. The retaining member has a mating surface for mounting to a complementary mating surface of an interior wall of a syringe barrel. The plunger comprises a plunger outer, a plunger rod frangibly connected to a controlling member, a spring and a unitary plunger seal capable of engaging the retractable needle, wherein the plunger rod, plunger outer and the controlling member co-operate to releasably maintain the spring in an initially compressed state. After delivery of fluid contents of the syringe, the plunger forces the ejector member to release the retractable needle from the retaining member. Decompression of the spring at the end of depression of the plunger facilitates retraction of the retractable needle when engaged with the unitary plunger seal.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Unitract Syringe Pty Ltd.Inventors: Craig Stephen Thorley, Joseph Hermes Kaal, Chris Rafferty, Richard Sokolov, Ernesto Hueso, Huw Wallis, Steve Chi Truong

Patent number: 9254365Abstract: A replaceable needle assembly is provided for a retractable syringe comprising a barrel and a plunger, whereby the retractable needle can be replaced by a user without affecting the retraction mechanism. A mounting member is removably mountable to the barrel by way of a screw-thread connection and a needle mount is removably coupled to the mounting member. A needle is mounted to the needle mount. The barrel comprises a needle mount retainer that comprises a plurality of fingers that engage the retractable needle mount to prevent inadvertent retraction. The plunger comprises a collapsible seal which maximizes the efficiency of fluid delivery prior to the plunger engaging the retractable needle mount for retraction. An initially compressed spring decompresses to drive retraction of the plunger and the engaged needle mount. A lock formed between the plunger and barrel prevents further use of the plunger after retraction.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2010Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: UNITRACT SYRINGE PTY LTDInventors: Craig Stephen Thorley, Joseph Hermes Kaal, Ian Johnson, Andrew Reade, Eric Siu, Richard Sokolov, Christopher Dunn

Patent number: 9149596Abstract: A mechanism for releasing a mask from a patient's face includes a frame part including a male connection and a frame engagement portion for engaging a cooperating portion on a frame of the mask. A headgear part includes a female connection that is adapted to receive the male connection when the frame part is inserted into the headgear part, and a headgear engagement portion for engaging a cooperating portion on headgear of the mask. A cord has one end secured to the male connection, such that when the cord is pulled by the patient the male connection disengages from the female connection and consequently the frame part separates from the headgear part releasing the mask from the patient's face. A method of releasing a mask from a patient's face includes pulling a cord away from a frame of the mask to release a latch of the mask frame from a latch receiving portion of a headgear of the mask to release the latch from the latch receiving portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2008Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: ResMed LimitedInventors: Zoran Valcic, Bruce Richard Davies, Huw Umberto Wallis, Richard Sokolov, Eric Siu
