A respiratory therapy apparatus is operable to deliver multiple types of therapy to a patient. The apparatus includes a main housing and a nebulizer tray that selectively attaches to a bottom of the main housing. The apparatus also includes a filter housing unit having an antenna surrounding a pneumatic passage and a transponder chip coupled to the antenna. The main housing has also has an antenna that surrounds a respective pneumatic passage of a main outlet port of the apparatus. The main housing includes a reader that controls communication between the antennae. The main housing of the apparatus also has a pivotable hose support plate, a firmware upgrade port underneath part of the top wall of the housing, and a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays various user inputs for control of the apparatus and that displays various alert conditions that are detected.

A ventilator including a housing; a gas inlet port disposed in the housing and adapted to be coupled to a gas source to receive a flow of gas; a valve assembly coupled with the gas inlet port for controlling flow of gas from the gas inlet port to a gas outlet port disposed in the housing and adapted for being coupled to a patient interface to fluidly couple the gas outlet port to the airway of a patient; a controller module disposed in the housing, the controller module comprising a controller operatively coupled with the valve assembly to control operation of the valve assembly; an airway pressure sensor positioned between the valve assembly and the patient interface to measure air flow output into flowing into the airway of the patient; wherein the pressure sensor is operatively connected to the controller module to control the operation of the valve assembly in response to changes in air flow output measured by the airway pressure sensor during use.

A patient interface is disclosed that includes: a plenum chamber pressurisable to a therapeutic pressure; a seal-forming structure joined to the plenum chamber and comprising a nasal portion, an oral portion, and at least one hole configured to deliver a flow of air at said therapeutic pressure to at least the patients nares in use, the seal-forming structure constructed and arranged to maintain said therapeutic pressure in the plenum chamber throughout the patients respiratory cycle in use; a vent comprising a plurality of holes configured to allow a continuous vent flow from an interior of the plenum chamber to ambient; a positioning and stabilising structure comprising at least one tie and being configured to hold the seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on the patient's head in use; and a textile portion configured to contact the patients face.

An apparatus for controlling positioning of a subject's jawbone including an expandable device expandable to apply a force on the subject's jawbone in a direction of an anterior position with respect to a subject's skull; a mounting device holding the expandable device in proximity to the subject's jawbone to facilitate application of the force on the subject's jawbone and configured to position the expandable device behind the subject's jawbone such that application of the force on the subject's jawbone rotates the subject's jawbone relative to the subject's skull towards the anterior position; and a control system configured to control the force in response to the control system receiving an indication of a change in at least one of: an oxygen level of the subject; a gas flow rate of therapy gas supplied to the subject; a position and/or orientation of the subject; and/or a sleep state of the subject.

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.

A method includes applying, via a respiratory therapy system, initial therapy settings for a user during a first sleep session in which the user uses the respiratory therapy system. First physiological data, which is received from one or more sensors, is generated during the first sleep session. Modified therapy settings are applied, via the respiratory therapy system, during a second sleep session of the user. Second physiological data is received from the one or more sensors. The second physiological data is generated by the one or more sensors during the second sleep session. A set of sleep-related parameters is determined based on changes between the first physiological data and the second physiological data. One or more of a recommended therapy or recommended therapy settings is determined based on the set of sleep-related parameters.
