A ventilator that moves breathable air into and out of the lungs of a patient. The ventilator includes an inspiratory circuit with an inlet, a bellows, and an outlet port for moving air into the lungs of the patient. An expiratory circuit includes an inlet port and a discharge port for moving the air out of the lungs. The inspiratory circuit is adjustable to control a number of breathes per time period and a volume of the breaths.

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.

A non-ventilator ET tube cap used to oxygenate a patient during an intubation procedure. The ET tube cap generally comprises an oxygen source connector configured to connect to an oxygen source via an oxygen tube. This provides oxygen to a patient via an ET tube while being intubated. The ET tube cap further includes an ET tube receiving aperture that is specifically arranged to engage an ET tube in a removable relationship prior to the ET tube connected to a ventilator while the ET tube is deployed in a patient. Optionally, the ET tube cap can comprise at least two pressure relief valves that open when pressure inside of the ET tube cap exceeds a predetermined pressure threshold to prevent harm to the patient that is being intubated.

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.
