Apparatus for supplying respiratory gas, comprising a respiratory gas source, a control unit, a storage device, a pressure sensor instrument and/or a flow sensor instrument, a replaceable respiratory gas tube, at least one connection fitting for the respiratory gas tube, a patient interface, and a patient valve, wherein the control unit activates a first ventilation mode for a first duration and in the process actuates the respiratory gas source to specify a changing respiratory gas parameter, and the control unit activates a further therapy mode for a second duration and in the process actuates the respiratory gas source to specify a respiratory gas parameter specific to the further therapy mode, the respiratory gas tube remaining on the apparatus when switching from the first ventilation mode to the further therapy mode, and the patient valve being switched for the further therapy mode by the control unit.

Breathable medical circuit components and materials and methods for forming these components incorporate breathable foamed materials that are permeable to water vapor and substantially impermeable to liquid water and the bulk flow of gases. The materials and methods can be incorporated into a variety of components, including tubes, Y-connectors, catheter mounts, and patient interfaces and are suitable for use in a variety of medical circuits, including insufflation, anesthesia, and breathing circuits.

A circuit connector for a humidification system, the system comprising a base unit configured to be engaged by a humidification chamber. The circuit connector comprises an inlet to fluidly connect to an outlet of the humidification chamber to receive humidified gases therefrom, an outlet to sealably connect to or integral with a conduit for directing the humidified gases to a user, and an electrical terminal for electrically coupling the circuit connector to an electrical terminal associated with the base unit. The circuit connector may be releasably and lockably connectable to the outlet of the humidification chamber and/or orientation features may control orientation of component parts of the system as they are assembled.

An apparatus for humidifying a flow of pressurised, breathable air includes varying a first pressure of the flow of breathable gas to vary a level of thermal engagement between the conductive portion of the reservoir and the heater plate, varying a height of the variable portion varies a level of thermal engagement between the conductive portion of the reservoir and the heater plate, use of a humidifier reservoir base component with a maximum water capacity substantially equal to the predetermined maximum volume of water of the humidifier reservoir or the use of intersecting inlet and outlet axes.

In an embodiment, a connector or connector assembly for attaching a nasal cannula with a gas delivery hose includes a sensor port for a sensor probe positioned near an end of a nasal cannula, which can allow the sensor probe to be placed closer to the patient's nostrils than previous connector parts allowed. The connector can be configured to advantageously allow the nasal cannula to rotate relative to the gas delivery hose, thereby allowing a patient or healthcare provider to untangle or otherwise straighten the hose or the cannula. The connector assembly can be configured to automatically align locking protrusions on a first component with locking recesses on a second component, where insertion of the second component within the first component causes the second component to rotate relative to the first component, thereby aligning the locking protrusions with associated locking recesses.

A patient management system for providing patient queues of patient reports to users includes communications circuitry configured to receive first physiological information from monitoring medical devices being worn by a first plurality of patients and receive second physiological information from therapeutic medical devices being worn by a second plurality of patients. Each of the monitoring medical devices is configured to sense one or more predetermined physiological parameters of its respective patient. Each of the therapeutic medical devices is configured to monitor its respective patient for a predetermined physiological condition and provide a treatment. The patient management system also includes at least one processor configured to prepare a plurality of monitoring patient reports, prepare a plurality of therapeutic patient reports, generate a patient queue based on the pluralities of monitoring and therapeutic patient reports, and provide the patient queue to an end user computing device via the communications circuitry.

The present invention is generally related to a device and method for sanitizing a medical instrument with ozone, in particular the invention relates to a system, method and a device for sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. The device has an ozone compartment, an ozone operating system and one or more ozone distribution lines that distribute ozone to a continuous positive airway pressure device. The device may further include a heater adapter unit to connect heating systems in CPAP devices while distributing ozone to sanitize the CPAP device in accordance with the present invention.

A patient management system is provided herein. The system can include communications circuitry configured to receive first physiological information relating to a first at least one patient from at least one therapeutic medical device and second physiological information relating to a second at least one patient from at least one monitoring medical device. The system also includes a computing device, which can include a user interface. The user interface can be configured to display the first and second physiological information according to a user selection.

Medical devices can perform a plurality of functions, such as sensing, monitoring, deriving and/or calculating various physiological statuses of a patient (e.g., blood pressure, temperature, respiration rate, etc.). Medical devices can also be used to image part or all of a patient's body, to deliver a treatment, or to manage information related to a patient's care. The present disclosure is directed at one or more devices that perform these functions using a plurality of processing circuits, wherein each processing circuit has a timing circuit with a local clock. These processing circuits can be connected via a network, and each timing circuit can communicate with at least one other timing circuit in order to detect and correct time-differences between their local clocks. In this way, multiple processing circuits can be synchronized with each other to facilitate diagnosis or treatment of a patient's condition, or other aspects of a patient's care.

There is provided an LMA mask integrated for robotic surgery with ventilation or anesthesia tubes and for receiving the robot head with medical instruments through the mask. The inflatable cuff of the mask surrounds the robot head and ventilation so that the items necessary for surgical procedures are contained within a compact defined area. Increased maneuverability and visibility for the medical professional. Integration of the mask with processes for ventilation or anesthesia by accessories is also provided.
