A system for determining an optimal hardness of a patient interface device includes a fit score determination unit structured to receive a 3-D model of the patient interface device and a 3-D model of a patient's face and to determine a fit score between the patient interface device and the patient's face based on the 3-D model of the patient interface device and the 3-D model of the patient's face, and a hardness determination unit structured to determine a hardness value of the patient interface device based on the determined fit score.

An oxygen delivery apparatus wearable by user includes a frame including nose pads connected to a bridge portion, an oxygen inlet defined by one of the nose pads, an oxygen inlet defined by the frame, and a hollow channel contained by the frame. The oxygen inlet and oxygen outlet are in fluid communication via the hollow channel. The frame can be formed as a monolithic structure using additive manufacturing. A nasal prong can be connected to the oxygen outlet such that a prong outlet of the prong is in fluid communication with the hollow channel. The prong outlet is positioned within a nostril of the user during use of the apparatus. A method of fabricating the frame includes obtaining measurement information for at least one of a head feature or facial characteristic of the user and generating a digital model of the oxygen delivery apparatus using the measurement information.

A patient interface including a seal-forming structure with a textile membrane that has at least one hole such that the flow of air at a therapeutic pressure is delivered to at least an entrance to the patient's nares and/or an entrance to the patient's mouth. The seal-forming structure is constructed and arranged to maintain the therapeutic pressure in a cavity of a plenum chamber throughout the patient's respiratory cycle, in use. The textile membrane includes a first portion that is held in a relaxed state and a second portion that is held in a taut state. The taut state of the second portion is configured to allow the seal-forming structure to include a three-dimensional shape that has multiple curvatures.

A gas delivery system, for providing gas to a wearer, includes a first body having a first cavity. The first body is supportable to a side of a nose and mouth of the wearer. A first adapter receives gas from a gas supply and provide the gas to the first cavity. A plurality of first openings in the first body to create a bolus of gas about the nostrils of the nose and the mouth. The first body, and a second similar body may be supported by an adjustable bridge on opposite sides of the nose and mouth of the wearer.

A method of manufacturing a patient interface for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a continuously positive pressure with respect to ambient air pressure to an entrance to the patient's airways includes collecting anthropometric data of a patient's face. Anticipated considerations are identified from the collected anthropometric data during use of the patient interface. The collected anthropometric data is processed to provide a transformed data set based on the anticipated considerations, the transformed data set corresponding to at least one customised patient interface component. At least one patient interface component is modeled based on the transformed data set.

A method of generating a customized headgear that includes a plurality of physical features and being usable with a mask component that supplies a flow of breathing gas to the patient's airways. The method includes receiving one or more parameters pertaining to the patient's head, subjecting at least some of the parameters to one or more algorithms to determine at least one of a length of a physical feature of the plurality of physical features and an angle between a pair of physical features of the plurality of physical features, generating an outline of at least a portion of a body which, when formed, is usable to assemble therefrom at least a portion of the headgear, and outputting a pattern usable to enable the formation of the at least portion of the body from at least a first sheet of at least a first material.

It is discloses a patient interface comprising a seal forming portion, a pad, and a cushion. The seal forming portion may comprise a base surface and a plurality of fibers fixed to and extending away from said base surface for contacting a patient's skin. The cushion may comprise at least along a portion of the circumference a first structure having an elongate section joined with at least one end section oriented substantially perpendicular or at an angle to the elongate section. A first end A of the elongate section may be connected or connectable to a frame member. The end section may be provided at an opposing second end B of the elongate section. The pad may comprise a resilient foam material layer with the seal forming portion. The pad may be adapted to be connected to the cushion.

A positioning and stabilising structure for a full-face mask of a patient interface comprises a superior strap portion, an inferior strap portion, and two anterior strap portions. Each anterior strap portion having a generally triangular surface with a first width and a second width that is less than the first width and disposed more anterior while in use. The superior strap portion and the inferior strap portion are each connected to or formed integrally with each anterior strap portion at a respective corner of the generally triangular surface. Each anterior strap portion is connected or connectable to a connection portion that engages the plenum chamber. The connection portion is releasably engageable from the plenum chamber. The superior strap portion and the inferior strap portion are joined to the anterior strap portions anterior to the patient's ears, when in use.

A patient interface including a seal-forming structure with a textile membrane that has at least one hole such that the flow of air at a therapeutic pressure is delivered to at least an entrance to the patients nares and/or an entrance to the patients mouth. The seal-forming structure is constructed and arranged to maintain the therapeutic pressure in a cavity of a plenum chamber throughout the patients respiratory cycle, in use. The textile membrane includes a first portion that is held in a relaxed state and a second portion that is held in a taut state. The taut state of the second portion is configured to allow the seal-forming structure to include a three-dimensional shape that has multiple curvatures.

Devices, systems, and methods for detecting a sealing condition between a patient interface and a patient, and adjusting the patient interface to maintain the patient interface in sealing contact with the patient. The patient interface may include a sealing structure to form a seal on the patient, and a positioning structure to secure the sealing structure to the patient. The patient interface may include a sensor coupled to the sealing structure. A processor determines the sealing condition between the sealing structure and the patient based on a signal from the sensor, and adjusts at least one of the sealing structure and the positioning structure to maintain the sealing structure in sealing contact with the patient. A prediction system predicts a leak between the sealing structure and the patient based on the sensor signal. A learning system learns how to fit the sealing structure to the patient to form a seal.
