| 20090301495 | NASAL CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE DEVICE AND SYSTEM - An nCPAP device including a generator body defining first and second fluid flow circuits each including a tube and first and second nozzles. The tube defines a passageway forming an axial centerline. The first and second nozzles are associated with the tube and each defines an inlet and an outlet. The inlets are open to a fluid supply, whereas the outlets are open to the passageway. Each nozzle is adapted to emit a fluid jetstream from the outlet along a flow direction axis. The nozzles are arranged such that the flow direction axes are non-parallel relative to each other and relative to the axial centerline. This configuration readily induces vortex shedding during an expiratory phase, thus facilitating jet fluid flow disruption and reducing a patient's work of breathing. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100108073 | NASAL INTERFACE PRONG DEVICE - An infant nasal interface prong device for use with an nCPAP system. The device includes first and second nasal prongs and a base. Each prong includes a bellows segment, a tip, and a lumen. The tip extends from the bellows segment to a tip end and is adapted for insertion with an infant's naris. The lumen extends through the tip and the bellows segment. In an undeflected state, a central axis of the lumen along the bellows segment is transversely offset from the lumen axis at the tip end. The base is connected to each of the nasal prongs and is adapted for coupling to a CPAP generator. The bellows segment renders the corresponding prong highly flexible relative to the base. The offset positioning of the tip end promotes desired positioning of the base/CPAP generator, relative to the patient and more closely conforms to the expected nasal anatomy. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100258128 | INFANT NASAL INTERFACE MASK - An infant nasal interface mask for use with a nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) system including a mask body and a base. The mask body forms a cavity and is defined by a leading portion, an intermediate shell portion, and a trailing portion. The leading portion terminates in a leading edge forming an aperture open to the cavity and having a generally triangular shape for placement over a patient's nose. The trailing portion includes a bellows segment characterized by an increased flexibility as compared to a flexibility of the intermediate shell portion. The base extends from the trailing portion opposite the leading portion and forms at least one longitudinal passage extending through a thickness of the base and fluidly connected to the cavity. The intermediate shell portion is laterally pivotable relative to the base via the bellows segment. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20090301477 | HEAT AND MOISTURE EXCHANGE UNIT WITH CHECK VALVE - An HME unit including a housing, an HM media, and a check valve assembly. The housing forms a first port, a second port, and an intermediate section defining first and second flow paths fluidly connecting the first and second ports. The HM media is maintained within the intermediate section along the second flow path. The check valve assembly includes an obstruction member movably positioned within the intermediate section to selectively provide opened and closed positions. In the opened position, the first flow path is open relative to the obstruction member. In the closed position, the obstruction member closes the first flow path. In one mode, the obstruction member transitions to the opened position in response to gas flow in a flow direction from the second port toward the first port, and transitions to the closed position in response to gas flow in an opposite flow direction. | 12-10-2009 |
