Embodiments provide an oxygen supply device having multiple operational states including a first state and a second state. In the first state, the oxygen supply device is controllable to a local control instruction such that the oxygen supply device can be operated by a user physically located within a proximity of the oxygen supply device. In the second state, the oxygen supply device is only controllable to a remote-control instruction such that the oxygen supply device can be operated by a user remote to the oxygen supply device. For example, the user can be located in an office remote to a location of the oxygen supply device, which, for example, may be placed at a patient’s home. In the second state, the user is enabled to control the oxygen supply device from a device associated with the user in the remote location.

A portable respiratory device for supplying respiratory gas to a living being, including: a housing; a respiratory gas conveying apparatus which is designed to convey inspiratory respiratory gas to a respiratory gas housing outlet of the housing; an input/output apparatus for the input of control commands and for the output of information; a control apparatus which is connected to the input/output apparatus and to the respiratory gas conveying apparatus for transferring signals; a first, grid-based power supply which is designed to be connected to a grid voltage source that is external in respect of the respirator device in order to transfer electricity and which is designed and arranged in order to supply electricity to the control apparatus, the input/output apparatus and the respiratory gas conveying apparatus; wherein the respiratory gas conveying apparatus, the input/output apparatus, the control apparatus and the first power supply are received in the housing; the respiratory device has a second, storage-based power supply which has an electricity storage device for storing electrical energy and which is designed at least to supply the respiratory gas conveying apparatus with electricity.

A tub is configured to contain a supply of water and is configured to be inserted into a chamber of a humidifier. The tub includes a tub base configured to contain the supply of water. The tub also includes a tub lid and a flow plate provided between the tub base and the tub lid. The flow plate includes a water level indicator configured to indicate a level of the supply of water in the tub base. In addition, the water level indicator includes a generally rectangular portion and a generally triangular portion.

A pump arrangement for powering a pump in providing a controlled volume of water to a drip nozzle in a drip-feed humidifier. The pump arrangement includes: a pump having a solenoid; a processing unit; and a power supply electrically connected to the solenoid via a switch which is controlled by the processing unit. The power supply is structured to supply power to the solenoid via the switch. The processing unit is programmed to modulate the power provided to the solenoid via the switch such that the power is supplied to the solenoid according to a mirror image power profile for each actuation of the solenoid for retracting the armature. The mirror image power profile includes: an initial portion which decreases at a third overall rate, an intermediate portion which decreases at a second overall rate different than the third overall rate, and a final portion which increases at a first overall rate.

A high flow therapy system for delivering heated and humidified respiratory gas to an airway of a patient includes a respiratory gas flow pathway for delivering the respiratory gas to the airway of the patient by way of a non-sealing respiratory interface; wherein flow rate of the respiratory gas is controlled by a microprocessor, a mixing area for mixing a first gas and a second gas in the respiratory gas flow pathway, a humidification area downstream of the mixing area and configured for humidifying respiratory gas in the respiratory gas flow pathway, and a heated delivery conduit for minimizing condensation of humidified respiratory gas.

A gas conduit for respiratory apparatus includes a lumen for passage of a breathable gas to a patient and a flexible conduit wall surrounding the lumen. The flexible conduit wall has a humidification apparatus for delivering water vapour into the gas passing through the lumen.

A hydrogen generator comprises an electrolytic module, a hydrogen water cup, an integrated passageway device and an automatic diversion device. The electrolytic module is configured to electrolyze water and generate gas comprising hydrogen. The hydrogen water cup is configured for containing liquid, and injecting the gas comprising hydrogen into the liquid to form hydrogen liquid. The integrated passageway device is stacked above the electrolytic module, and includes an inlet gas passageway, an outlet gas passageway and a gas communication passageway. The automatic diversion device is configured for selectively communicating the inlet gas passageway, the hydrogen water cup and the outlet gas passageway or selectively communicating the inlet gas passageway, the gas communication passageway and the outlet gas passageway.

A pressure support system for providing pressure support therapy to a patient, the pressure support device includes an airflow generator structured to generate a flow of breathing gas to the patient, a temperature conditioning unit structured to adjust a temperature of the breathing gas provided to the patient, and a processing unit structured to estimate a core body temperature of the patient for selected times of day based on one or more inputs and to control the temperature conditioning unit to adjust temperature of the breathing provided to the patient at the selected times of day based on the estimated core body temperatures of the patient.

A stand-alone chamber or multi-chamber inhalation system has at least two alternative vaporized test liquid supply systems for passive or self-administered delivery of vaporized test fluid and air to one or more test chambers, which can be passive or restraint chambers, based on operator selection of delivery on and off times in a passive mode or actuation of an actuator in the chamber by a test animal in a self-administered mode. In one case, a multiple inhalation chamber system has two or more separate test fluid delivery systems and provides options for selective passive uniform drug delivery to multiple chambers or selective delivery of two or more different drugs to different groups of chambers from different delivery systems so that two different drugs or different concentrations of delivered drugs can be tested simultaneously.
