OXYGEN THERAPY MONITORING DEVICE AND METHOD
An oxygen therapy monitoring device includes an oscillation chamber with in a gas flow path adapted to pass a gas flow from a source to a breathing interface for a person. The oscillation chamber induces an oscillation in the gas flow that varies as a function of a flow rate of the gas flow. A measurement arrangement measures the oscillation induced in the gas flow and determines the flow rate on the basis of the oscillation that is measured.
