  • Patent number: 12290638
    Abstract: A humidifier comprises a water reservoir and a reservoir dock configured to receive the water reservoir in an operative position. The water reservoir is configured to hold a volume of liquid. The water reservoir includes a chamber and a single conduit providing an inner opening arranged within the chamber. The reservoir dock includes a dock inlet conduit arranged to receive the flow of air from the RPT device. The dock inlet conduit is structured and arranged to extend within the single conduit of the water reservoir when the water reservoir reaches the operative position such that the dock inlet conduit and the single conduit at least partially overlap one another.

  • Publication number: 20220023581
    Abstract: A CPAP system for providing air at positive pressure for respiratory therapy to a patient includes an RPT device configured to supply a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure, a patient interface forming a plenum chamber pressurizable to the therapeutic pressure, an air delivery tube configured to pass the flow of air at the therapeutic pressure from the RPT device to the patient interface, a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) constructed and arranged to retain moisture from a flow of expiratory air from the patient, wherein retained moisture from the HME is returned to the flow of air for humidification, a controllable heater configured and arranged to heat the HME and/or heat incoming air to the HME, and a controller configured to adjust heating of the controllable heater to adjust the moisture returned from the HME to the flow of air for humidification.
