Patent number: 11004569Abstract: A tool is provided for use in conjunction with a pressure support system that is structured to provide therapy to a patient to treat a condition of the patient by delivering a flow of breathing gas to the patient. The tool may be implemented on a portable electronic device or a PC and is configured to, among other things, provide customized/personalized education and feedback to the patient based, at least in part, on data that is measured by the pressure support system during the provision of therapy to the patient. The tool utilizes certain patient/therapy metrics, where each patient/therapy metric includes raw data that was measured by the pressure support system and that has been processed (e.g., summarized and/or otherwise manipulated) to form the patient/therapy metric.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventor: Zachary Dean Paul

Patent number: 10286165Abstract: Systems and methods for providing respiratory therapy to a subject respond and/or adapt to the detection of an occurrence of a respiratory event. For example, the pressure level of a pressurized flow of breathable gas may be increased responsive to the occurrence of one or more apneas. Based on usage information spanning more than one therapy session, such as the tracked pressure levels, a starting pressure level for a pressurized flow of breathable gas for a subsequent therapy session is determined. The starting level at the beginning of the subsequent therapy session(s) may be the 90% pressure level as determined during the preceding period during which usage information has been gathered.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Gregory Delano Matthews, Benjamin Irwin Shelly, Heather Dawn Ressler, Michael Thomas Kane, Mark Dominic D'Angelo, Zachary Dean Paul

Patent number: 9199048Abstract: A pressure support system includes a pressure generator, a pressure sensor, a flow sensor, and a controller cooperating with the pressure sensor and the flow sensor to control operation of the pressure generator. The controller is structured to automatically identify a patient interface device in use with the pressure support system by detecting a change of exhaust flow of up to a predetermined amount across a predetermined pressure gradient of a pressure range of the pressure support system.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2010Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Peter Chi Fai Ho, Zachary Dean Paul

Patent number: 8813745Abstract: A system configured to deliver pressurized gas to an airway of a subject in accordance with a predetermined therapeutic algorithm. The system includes a pressure generator that generates a pressurized flow of breathable gas and a circuit that communicates the pressurized flow of breathable gas from the pressure generator to the airway of the subject. In order to facilitate the delivery of the pressurized gas to the airway of the subject in accordance with the predetermined therapeutic algorithm, a resistance of the circuit to gas flow is supplemented so that the overall resistance of the circuit is at or near a predetermined level.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2009Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Peter Chi Fai Ho, Zachary Dean Paul

Patent number: 8061355Abstract: An exhaust port assembly comprising a conduit carries a flow of gas. A vent assembly having a fixed exhaust area is provided on the conduit for venting a flow of exhaust gas from within the conduit to ambient atmosphere. The vent assembly is configured so as to minimize noise associated with the flow of exhaust gas passing to atmosphere, diffuse the flow of exhaust gas passing to ambient atmosphere over a relatively large area, and minimize the area occupied by the venting assembly on the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2009Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: RIC Investments, LLC.Inventors: Marcel Douglas Jaffre, Zachary Dean Paul, Winslow K.
