Patent number: 11612712Abstract: A modularized respiratory treatment apparatus provides various respiratory pressure treatments. The apparatus may be formed by discrete connectable modules such as a flow generator module, alarm module and/or humidifier module. Each module may include its own external casing or housing to independently retain or enclose the respective components that serve the function of the module. Different modules may be adapted with different components and functionalities and may be readily coupled using standardized gas and electrical connection configurations that have flow and communication paths that extend through the modules. When coupled, operation of the respiratory treatment apparatus may be controlled by detection of different modules, such as the alarm module that generates visual and/or audible alarms based on detected conditions, so as to selectively enable or disable different respiratory treatments.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Inventors: Mark Bertinetti, Zhuo Ran Tang, Craig Laing, Jing Wen Xie, Jianhua Zhu, Chinmayee Somaiya, Graham Stephen Cutcliffe, Sandra Robyn Curtis, Peter Milliken, Dimitri Marco Maurer

Patent number: 11298483Abstract: A user interface for respiratory apparatus comprises a combination of a menu display (302), push buttons (304, 308, 310) and a rotary control dial (306). The user interface may include a menu control for detecting at least one parameter from the user's operation of the controls to navigate the menu and applying this to subsequent operation of the user interface controls. The user parameter may be a direction of operation of the rotary control dial which the user associates with a particular direction of navigation within the menu.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Phoebe Katherine Hill, Mark Bertinetti, Rohan Neil Primrose, Heike Thiele, Alexander Virr, Andrew Mikael Price, Sandra Robyn Curtis, Andrew Roderick Bath

Publication number: 20190134325Abstract: A ventilator device (10) includes a display screen (50, 101) to display a plurality of ventilator functions/modes (or menus) and a plurality of parameters (or sub-menus) associated with at least one of said ventilator functions/modes. A control member, e.g., in the form of a multifunction finger-operable dial (55, 102) is provided to select from the plurality of ventilator functions/modes and/or parameters, the dial being manipulatable in a first manner (e.g., rotation) to scroll between said parameters, and being manipulatable in a second manner (e.g., touching, pressing and/or depressing) to select one of the ventilator functions/modes and/or parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Mark BERTINETTI, David Peter WAWRZONEK, Phoebe Katherine HILL, Rohan Neil PRIMROSE, Heike THIELE, Alexander VIRR, Andrew Roderick BATH, Sandra Robyn CURTIS, Andrew Mikael PRICE
