OXYGEN GAS CONCENTRATOR WITH OUTLET ACCUMULATOR
An oxygen concentrator comprises a product tank that is fluidly coupled to at least one sieve bed, and a product gas accumulator tank that is fluidly coupled to the product tank via a first conduit and to an outlet port via a second conduit, wherein the first conduit and the second conduit are disposed to allow at least a portion of product gas to flow from the product tank to the outlet port through the accumulator tank.
Device for the care of respiratory wellbeing and for training and the improvement of respiratory function
A device including a first flow channel, a second flow channel and a body part including an inner volume. A first space of the inner volume is adapted to be filled with liquid and a second space of the inner volume is arranged to receive steam. The device further includes means for conveying a gas flow from the steam space of the inner volume via the first flow channel to the outside of the device during inhalation and means for conveying the exhaled gas flow from the outside of the device via the second flow channel to the first space of the inner volume. The device further includes means for measuring a flow and a temperature of an airflow, and means for adjusting the flow of the airflow mechanically and/or automatically. The present disclosure further relates to a method and a system.
Method and system for bi-level treatment of sleep apnea
A positive airway pressure device is disclosed herein. The positive airway pressure device includes a blower, a buffer chamber, a gas manifold, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The buffer chamber is downstream of the blower. The buffer chamber configured to receive gas generated by the blower and output the gas to a patient. The gas manifold is fluidly coupling the blower to the buffer chamber. The first sensor is at least partially disposed in the gas manifold. The first sensor is configured to measure a first pressure in the gas manifold. The second sensor is at least partially disposed in the buffer chamber. The second sensor is configured to measure a second sensor in the buffer chamber.
PORTABLE MEDICAL VENTILATOR SYSTEM USING PORTABLE OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS
A portable medical ventilator using pulse flow from an oxygen concentrator to gain higher oxygen concentration includes a positive pressure source to deliver pressurized air to the patient and a negative pressure source to trigger the oxygen concentrator. A patient circuit attached to a patient interface mask connects the ventilator to the patient. The ventilator includes a controller module that is configured to generate a signal to the negative pressure device to trigger the concentrator to initiate one or more pulses of oxygen from the oxygen concentrator. The oxygen pulses are delivered to the patient interface directly through multi-tube or a multi lumen patient circuit. The oxygen does not mix with air in the ventilator or in the patient circuit and bypasses the leaks in the patient circuit and/or patient interface.
PATIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Methods and Systems implement patient management. In some cases, a patient management system may include one or more respiratory pressure therapy devices to deliver respiratory pressure therapy to patients, and generate therapy data relating to a therapy session for a patient. The patient management system may include a data server communicating with the therapy device(s). The data server may compute, from therapy data, therapy summary data for the session, the summary data may include one or more statistics summarising therapy data. The patient management system may include a therapy management server communicating with the data server. The therapy management server may apply one or more rules to the summary data, update or generate one or more workflow groups of patients, each workflow group corresponding to a rule, depending on results of the respective rule applications; and/or serve a graphical layout representing one or more workflow groups.
WOUND EDGE DIFFUSER
Disclosed herein is a patient interface for wound treatment and/or management, comprising: an interface body configurable to substantially or at least partially surround a wound, the interface body comprising a gas inlet and defining a first gas flow path having a first flow resistance, and a second gas flow path having a second flow resistance. The first gas flow path is arranged in fluid communication with the gas inlet and the second gas flow path. The interface body comprises or is configurable to provide a gas outlet at or adjacent to the wound site.
MEDICAL VENTILATION MASK
An aerosol-proof ventilation mask which efficiently and safely collects and removes aerosol droplets. The medical ventilation mask comprising a gas opening, a mask frame having an internal portion and an external portion, an internal seal having an internal rim, an external seal having an external rim, and at least one vacuum outlet port connected to the mask frame to provide fluid communication with a vacuum line.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING MIGRAINES
A portable device for treatment of migraine having a desktop unit defining an airpath through a desiccant, a heat sink, an air mover and an air outlet, and a tubeset including a tube having one end for connecting to the desktop air outlet and a second end connected to a handheld unit, the handheld unit including a water compartment, and a nebulizer/transducer for introducing water droplets into the air stream. A nasal pillow is provided at the end of the handheld unit for placing against a user's nose.
Systems and method for delivery of therapeutic gas to patients in need thereof using enhanced breathing circuit gas (BCG) flow measurement
The present invention generally relates to systems and method for delivery of therapeutic gas to patients in need thereof using enhanced breathing circuit gas (BCG) flow measurement. At least some of these enhanced BCG flow measurements can be used to address some surprising phenomena that may, at times, occur when wild stream blending therapeutic gas into breathing gas that a patient receives from a breathing circuit affiliated with a ventilator. Utilizing at least some of these enhanced BCG flow measurements the dose of therapeutic gas wild stream blended into breathing gas that the patient receives from a ventilator can at least be more accurate and/or over delivery of therapeutic gas into the breathing gas can be avoided and/or reduced.
HYPOXIA TRAINING DEVICE
The present invention includes a device for hypoxia training comprising: one or more electrochemical cells each comprising: a cathode and an anode separated by a proton exchange membrane, each of the anode and cathode in communication with an input and an output, wherein the input of the cathode is in fluid communication with ambient air, and wherein the input of the anode is in fluid communication with a source of liquid water; a power supply connected to the one or more electrochemical cells; and a mask in fluid communication with the output from the cathode of the one or more electrochemical cells, wherein oxygen is removed from the ambient air during contact with the cathode when hydrogen ions separated from liquid water by a catalyst on the anode convert oxygen in the ambient air into water.
