20230039946 · 2023-02-09 ·

The present invention relates to the art of automatic regulation of pulmonary devices for imitating, assisting and/or enforcing the breathing process by converting Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) or a similar device to enhance both phases of breathing: inhalation and exhalation while applying a variable pressure during the breathing process. It also replaces a mechanical chest compression to the sternum area for automatic pneumatic compression, and it could be complimented with the use of a Tens unit, can be used for extended period of time with a high level of reliability, simplicity, efficacy and low cost. The unique filtration system's goal in this invention is safety of the treating patient as well as assisting personnel. This portable and light device is recommended to be used as a resuscitator for the patients with mild to extremely suppressed or without respiratory drive. The source of power can be electrical, battery operated, manual or a combination thereof.

Fluid mixing structure

A respiratory therapy system can have a flow generator adapted to provide gases to a patient. A gas passageway can be located in-line with the flow generator. The gas passageway can have a first portion adapted to receive a first gas and a second portion adapted to receive a second gas. The gas passageway can have a static mixer downstream of the first and second portions.

Method and apparatus for determining and/or predicting sleep and respiratory behaviours for management of airway pressure

Devices, systems and methods are provided for controlling the operation of a breathing assistance device for a user. The controller may include an input for receiving sensor data to measure at least one airflow parameter of the user's airflow; a memory unit that stores at least one machine learning model and at least one classifier or predictor; and a processor that is configured to perform measurements and to generate a control signal for adjusting the operation of the breathing assistance device for a current monitoring time period by: obtaining measured air pressure and/or airflow data and measured FOT data during a current monitoring time period; performing feature extraction on the measured data to obtain feature values that are used by the machine learning model employed by the at least one classifier or predictor to determine a property of the user; and adjusting the control signal based on the determined property.

POSITIVE EXPIRATORY PRESSURE DEVICE

A positive exhalation pressure device increases the pressure gradient in the airways, thereby increasing oxygen saturation levels and decreasing the severity of hypoxia. Various embodiments of the device may be inserted into the nasal and/or oral cavities, or configured as mask devices covering the nasal and/or oral cavities. In some embodiments, the resistance of the device may be varied.

Devices and methods for sleep disorder diagnosis and treatment

The present invention relates to an integrated sleep diagnosis and treatment device, and more particularly to an integrated apnea diagnosis and treatment device. The present invention additionally relates to method of sleep diagnosis and treatment.

PRESSURE RANGE ADJUSTMENT FOR RESPIRATORY THERAPY DEVICE
20230130469 · 2023-04-27 ·

An automatic positive airway pressure (AutoPAP) therapy device can be configured such that the minimum and/or maximum pressures deliverable by the device can automatically change. The minimum and/or maximum pressures can change as a function of pressures delivered over the course of the current therapy session and/or over the course of prior therapy sessions. The minimum and/or maximum pressures can also change as a function of the presence, absence, type, severity, or length of sleep disordered breathing events (SDBE) detected by the device over the course of the current therapy session and/or over the course of prior therapy sessions.
