A respiratory treatment device including an OPEP (oscillating positive expiratory pressure) mechanism, a Huff Cough mechanism, a user interface, and a conduit leading from the user interface to the OPEP mechanism and the Huff Cough mechanism, wherein air flow through the conduit is selectively directed to the OPEP mechanism and the Huff Cough mechanism.

A ventilation system includes an electrochemical filter for depleting alkyl phenols, especially 2,6-diisopropyl phenol, in breathing gas. A method uses the filter for removing alkyl phenols, especially 2,6-diisopropyl phenol, from breathing gas.

A pressure safety device is used with a bag valve mask (BVM) for preventing over-pressurization. The BVM includes a bag assembly having a bag connector for detachably mating to a mask connector on a patient mask. The pressure safety device has a housing with a bag port, a mask fitting, and a flow path from the bag port to the mask fitting. The bag port detachably connects to the bag connector on the BVM, and the mask fitting detachably connects to the mask connector on the BVM. The pressure safety device includes an automatic flow reduction valve located on the flow path in the housing and impedes flow when pressure on a bag connector side of the valve exceeds a maximum threshold value.

A therapeutic gas source and cart and methods thereof for use with a therapeutic gas delivery system is disclosed. The therapeutic gas source may include a cylinder operable to contain a therapeutic gas that includes a body and a gas source valve body. In some examples, the gas source valve body has a valve and a coupling member.

A patient interface structure includes a cushion configured to sealingly engage the patient's face and a front that is more rigid than the cushion. The cushion includes a forward opening, a rearward opening that is opposite the forward opening and a continuous sealing surface. The continuous sealing surface has a mouth sealing portion configured to seal around the patient's mouth and a nasal sealing portion configured to seal around both of the patient's nasal airways. The front plate includes an air inlet configured to both receive the pressurized respiratory gas and secure headgear to the patient interface structure. In addition, the nasal sealing portion includes at least one aperture that is separate from the rearward opening. Also, the front plate, the mouth sealing portion and the nasal sealing portion together form a common chamber.

Provided is a filtering facepiece respirator. The respirator includes a mask body having an anterior side portion, a posterior side portion, a middle portion, a first side portion, a second side portion, a top side portion, a bottom side portion and outer edge portions. The respirator further includes a primary port positioned at the anterior middle portion of the mask body and a detachable primary port adapter which is positioned over and engages the primary port. The respirator may further include an oxygen port and oxygen port adapter and a luer port and luer port adapter.

The filtration enclosure for ventilation bags is a manually operated respirator. The filtration enclosure for ventilation bags is adapted for use with a patient. The filtration enclosure for ventilation bags is a breathing assistance device that maintains a positive pressure within the lungs of the patient. The filtration enclosure for ventilation bags incorporates a bag valve mask respirator and a containment structure. The containment structure forms a protection space that encloses the bag valve mask respirator such that the bag valve mask respirator can operate while within the containment space. The containment structure is formed as a gas permeable structure. The containment structure forms a filter that filters microorganisms from the gas that flows through the boundary surface formed by the containment structure.

A super enriched personal oxygen concentrator system that discards argon as waste, including a personal oxygen concentrator operatively attached to a first bed for absorbing nitrogen and second bed for absorbing oxygen, and an argon waste outlet operatively attached to the first and second beds for eliminating argon from the system. A method of using the system of the present invention, by absorbing nitrogen from compressed air from a POC with a first bed, absorbing oxygen with a second bed, discarding unabsorbed argon from the compressed air as waste, desorbing enriched oxygen product, and providing a 99% oxygen product. A fluid supply warning and communication system, wherein a primary fluid reservoir is connected to the personal oxygen concentrator system. A method of using the fluid supply warning and communication system.

An apparatus for pressurizing one or more airways of a user, including: a dental arch mold configured to receive a plurality of teeth, a port which may be at a front face of the dental arch mold, a first nasal pillow, a second nasal pillow, a multi-output air regulator, and a plurality of sensors. The multi-output air regulator and sensors allow the airway pressurization device to sense the pressures in as well as be in independent fluid communication with the port of the dental arch, the first nasal pillow, and the second nasal pillow, such that an equalization of pressures, or a determined pressure differential between each may be obtained.

Provided are a mask, a sample collecting tube, and a pathogen collecting apparatus. The mask includes a mask body, a breather valve fixed on the mask body, and a sampling structure including a pathogen adsorption portion. The pathogen adsorption portion is disposed on an inner side of the breather valve and is adapted to adsorb pathogens in exhaled gas. The pathogen adsorption portion is adapted to enter the sample collecting tube to be in contact with a sample preservation solution in the sample collecting tube.
