20160114121 | FLOW DIFFUSER AND SOUND CONE - A respiratory treatment apparatus configured to provide a flow of breathable gas to a patient, including a breathable air outlet, an outside air inlet, and an pneumatic block module, wherein the pneumatic block module includes: a volute assembly including an inlet air passage, a mount for a blower and an outlet air passage; the blower being mounted in the mount such that an impeller of the blower is in a flow passage connecting the inlet air passage and the outlet air passage; a casing enclosing the volute assembly, wherein air passages within the casing connect air ports on the volute assembly, wherein the inlet air passage of the volute assembly is in fluid communication with the outside air inlet and the outlet air passage of the volute assembly is in fluid communication with the air outlet. | 04-28-2016 |
20140041661 | BREATHING ASSISTANCE DEVICE COMPRISING A GAS REGULATING VALVE AND ASSOCIATED BREATHING ASSISTANCE METHOD - The invention relates to a breathing assistance device for a patient, the device including: a source of respiratory pressurised gas; a gas transmission duct comprising a distal end coupled to said source and a proximal end coupled to the patient; a gas regulating valve interposed in the gas transmission duct at a proximal location, comprising a leakage orifice and an obstruction means capable of varying the opening of the leakage orifice upon signal of controlling means and allowing a bidirectional gas flow through the leakage orifice in both expiration and inspiration phases. | 02-13-2014 |
20140007876 | BREATHING ASSISTANCE DEVICE COMPRISING A GAS REGULATING VALVE AND ASSOCIATED BREATHING ASSISTANCE METHOD - The invention relates to a breathing assistance device for a patient, the device including: a source of respiratory pressurised gas; a gas transmission duct comprising a distal end coupled to said source and a proximal end coupled to the patient; a gas regulating valve interposed in the gas transmission duct at a proximal location, comprising a leakage orifice and an obstruction means capable of varying the opening of the leakage orifice upon signal of controlling means and allowing a bidirectional gas flow through the leakage orifice in both expiration and inspiration phases. | 01-09-2014 |
20130125890 | BREATHING ASSISTANCE DEVICE WITH SEVERAL SECURE RESPIRATOR MODES AND ASSOCIATED METHOD - A breathing assistance device, capable of operating according to several respiratory modes forming a list of possible modes. The device is equipped with a mechanism for selecting a desired mode from a group of modes that can be selected. The device also includes a mechanism for realizing a configuration diagnostic of the device, a mechanism for associating with authorization level with each possible mode, according to the results of the diagnostic, with the lowest authorization level corresponding to unauthorized modes, a mechanism for authorizing only the selection of authorized modes, in such a way that selecting unauthorized modes is impossible. | 05-23-2013 |
20130118495 | BREATHING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS - A breathing assistance apparatus operates in alternating inhalation and expiratory phases wherein a) the control means of the apparatus comprise selection means capable of selecting a pressure parameter or a flow rate parameter to define; b) the reference value for the gas source, the selection means are controlled by an automatic control unit being: I) connected to pressure and flow rate sensors situated on the inhalation duct to form a direct closed regulation loop for selecting a reference value parameter, II) associated to a program allowing the selection to be made in real time from a pressure or flow rate signal, so that the association of a direct closed regulation circuit for the selection of a reference value parameter with a valve permitting proportional operation, allows real time control of barometric and volumetric operating modes, between and during the inhalation and expiratory phases. The invention also concerns associated operating processes. | 05-16-2013 |
20130019869 | BREATHING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, AND METHOD OF REGULATION - A breathing assistance device may include a turbine for generating flow of pressurized respiratory gas, a duct for carrying pressurized gas to a patient, and a mechanism to control gas pressure capable of elaborating a pressure setting for the turbine. The turbine is connected to a speed sensor for acquiring the rotation speed of a rotating element of the turbine. A mechanism controls a calculation in order to elaborate a pressure setting and to send the pressure setting to the turbine. A method regulates the pressure of a respiratory gas delivered by a turbine to a patient. The method involves elaborating a pressure setting for the turbine. The pressure setting is elaborated using a signal representative of the rotation speed of a rotating element of the turbine. | 01-24-2013 |
20130008444 | BREATHABLE GAS INLET CONTROL DEVICE FOR RESPIRATORY TREATMENT APPARATUS - A breathable gas inlet control device permits flow regulation at the inlet of a flow generator for a respiratory treatment apparatus such as a ventilator or continuous positive airway pressure device. The device may implement a variable inlet aperture size based on flow conditions. In one embodiment, an inlet flow seal opens or closes the inlet to a blower in accordance with changes in pressure within a seal activation chamber near the seal. The seal may be formed by a flexible membrane. A controller selectively changes the pressure of the seal activation chamber by controlling a set of one or more flow control valves to selectively stop forward flow, prevent back flow or lock open the seal to permit either back flow or forward flow. The controller may set the flow control valves as a function of detected respiratory conditions based on data from pressure and/or flow sensors. | 01-10-2013 |
