Integrated High Flow Oxygen Concentration Management System
An oxygen production unit is provided. The oxygen production unit, in various embodiments, includes a separation unit configured to separate oxygen from nitrogen in received gaseous particles; a control unit configured to control an amount of the separated oxygen to be released to a user of the oxygen production unit, and a nitrogen release unit configured to facilitate release of the separated nitrogen within oxygen production unit and/or into an environment where the oxygen production unit is located. The oxygen production unit in those embodiments can automatically determine an amount of oxygen to be produced and/or delivered to a user; a control and facilitate release of nitrogen into the environment to enhance safety; to facilitate swapping of nitrogen piece(s) in the oxygen production unit to prolong a lifetime of the oxygen production unit, and/or achieve any other benefits.
Gas sensor kit and gas supply unit
A gas sensor kit includes a gas sensor that measures a gas concentration of an exhalation gas of a subject and a gas supply unit that supplies a therapeutic gas, supplied through a tube, to the subject. In the gas sensor, the gas sensor has a convex portion that is supported when connected with the gas supply unit, and the gas supply unit has at least one locking claw that supports the convex portion when connected with the gas sensor.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF SUPPLYING THERAPEUTIC GAS BASED ON INHALATION DURATION
Supplying therapeutic gas based on inhalation duration. At least some of the example embodiments are methods including: sensing a current inhalation of the patient; providing a flow of therapeutic gas to the patient based on the sensing; and ceasing the flow of therapeutic gas to the patient based on a value indicative of previous inhalation duration.
PATIENT INTERFACE WITH FOAM CUSHION
A patient interface is configured to deliver a flow of positive pressure respiratory gas to an entrance of a patients airways. The patient interface includes an elastomeric support wall forming at least part of a plenum chamber configured to receive the flow of positive pressure respiratory gas. The patient interface also includes an elastomeric support flange positioned at an end of the elastomeric support wall and extending radially inward from the support wall. The support flange has a flap portion at a central superior region of the support flange that extends further in the radially inward direction than the rest of the support flange. In addition, a foam cushion is mounted on the support flange. The foam cushion is configured to form a seal with the patients face and includes an attachment surface that is in contact with an outer surface of the support flange.
Universal respiratory detector
A universal respiratory detector for detecting a respiratory gas. The universal respiratory detector may include a plurality of layers with a visual indicator to quickly and reversibly change color to detect a respiratory gas parameter such as carbon dioxide. The color change may be visible from both sides of the detector. In some examples, the respiratory detector may be a biocompatible and conformable sticker for mounting on a person's face or an oxygen delivery device.
OXYGEN TANK WITH IMPROVED OXYGEN STORAGE
A tank for accumulating oxygen enriched air from an oxygen concentration device is disclosed. The oxygen concentration device includes a canister including a nitrogen-adsorbent material. A compressor is coupled to the canister. The compressor compresses air for the canister to produce oxygen enriched air in a swing adsorption process. The tank includes a closed container for collecting oxygen enriched air produced in the canister. An inlet is coupled to the container. An outlet in the container allows a patient to inhale the collected oxygen enriched air. An adsorbent material within the container adsorbs oxygen enriched air added to the tank from the canister.
Method and system of remote control and remote monitor in treating respiratory patients
Embodiments provide an oxygen supply device having multiple operational states including a first state and a second state. In the first state, the oxygen supply device is controllable to a local control instruction such that the oxygen supply device can be operated by a user physically located within a proximity of the oxygen supply device. In the second state, the oxygen supply device is only controllable to a remote-control instruction such that the oxygen supply device can be operated by a user remote to the oxygen supply device. For example, the user can be located in an office remote to a location of the oxygen supply device, which, for example, may be placed at a patient's home. In the second state, the user is enabled to control the oxygen supply device from a device associated with the user in the remote location.
OXYGEN GAS CONCENTRATOR WITH OUTLET ACCUMULATOR
An oxygen concentrator comprises a product tank that is fluidly coupled to at least one sieve bed, and a product gas accumulator tank that is fluidly coupled to the product tank via a first conduit and to an outlet port via a second conduit, wherein the first conduit and the second conduit are disposed to allow at least a portion of product gas to flow from the product tank to the outlet port.
Cannula Device for High Flow Therapy
A nasal cannula is described herein for respiratory therapy which includes a first gas supply tub with a distal end terminating in a first connector, and a nasal cannula body which includes a first end rotatably coupled to the first connector, a second end opposite the first end, a longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the second end, and a first nasal prong in fluid communication with the first gas supply tube. The first nasal prong is rotatable relative to the first gas supply tube about the longitudinal axis of the nasal cannula body.
