Patent number: 11931512Abstract: A patient interface including a positioning and stabilizing structure that is configured to maintain a first seal-forming structure and a second seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position. The positioning and stabilizing structure comprises a frame coupled to the plenum chamber. The frame includes a central portion coupled to the plenum chamber outside of the cavity. The frame also includes a pair of arms that extend away from the central portion in a posterior direction past the second seal-forming structure. The pair of arms are more flexible than the central portion. The positioning and stabilizing structure also includes headgear straps coupled to the frame, which configured to provide a tensile force to the first seal-forming structure and to the second seal-forming structure into the patient's face via the frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Matthew Eves, Andrew James Bate, Sebastien Deubel, Paul Derrick Watson, Matthew Robin Wells, Beng Hai Tan, Chee Keong Ong, Marvin Sugi Hartono, Han Cheng Lin

Publication number: 20240058565Abstract: An apparatus for generating and providing a pressurized breathable gas to a patient's airways includes a respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) device having an engagement port pneumatically and electrically coupled to the RPT device, and an air delivery tube configured to engage the engagement port so as to pass a flow of breathable gas to a patient interface. The air delivery tube includes electric contacts associated with a heating and/or a sensing arrangement. The air delivery tube includes a locking collar rotatably movable between (1) an unlocked position to allow connection/disconnection of the air delivery tube to/from the engagement port, and (2) a locked position to releasably lock the air delivery tube to the engagement port. The air delivery tube is structured and arranged to, when the locking collar is rotated into the locked position, pneumatically connect to the engagement port and define an operational configuration of the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Justin John FORMICA, Dimitri Marco MAURER, Kenneth John TAYLOR, Jeremy William WORKMAN, Andrew CHAN, Sebastien DEUBEL, Craig Edward HARRIS

Publication number: 20230263985Abstract: The invention relates to a connection member configured to connect an air circuit to a patient interface to convey a flow of pressurised breathable gas. The connection member comprises: first and second tube portions configured to connect to a patient interface and air circuit respectively; an anti-asphyxia valve (AAV); and a vent for venting gas exhaled by the patient to the ambient air. The vent is formed between the first and second tube portions. The first tube portion may have a substantially straight first longitudinal central axis and the second tube portion may have a substantially straight second longitudinal central axis that is substantially straight, the first tube portion and the second tube portion being arranged with the first longitudinal central axis substantially parallel to the second longitudinal central axis. The AAV is located in a position on the connection member closer to the patient interface than the vent.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Sebastien DEUBEL, Michael Christopher HOGG, Sabine KONZACK, Jie YUAN, Hongjiang YU

Patent number: 11191920Abstract: A respiratory valve, such as a positive end expiratory pressure valve, permits pressure control for respiratory apparatus such as a ventilator or positive airway pressure device. The valve may include a flexible gas passage cover. The cover may be configured with a first side surface to operatively block and open an aperture of the gas passage at a valve seat to respectively prevent and permit gas flow through the aperture defined by the valve seat. The cover may include a second side surface opposite the first surface. The second surface may include at least one drop section forming a reduction in thickness of the cover between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface may include a coating to reduce friction of a membrane material of the first surface. The rim of the valve seat may comprise a variation in height relative the flexible cover.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Inventors: Liam Holley, Simon Robert Cork, Sebastien Deubel
