摘要： A medical tube for delivering gases from a source of gas flow (105) to a patient (101), the medical tube comprising a first connector at a first end of the medical tube and comprising two electrical conductors; a second connector at a second end of the medical tube, opposite to the first end; at least one conductive filament spirally wound along a length of the medical tube between the first and second ends, the at least one conductive filament comprising heating filaments (215); the second connector comprising: a lumen extending along a longitudinal axis and walls surrounding the lumen, the lumen defining a flow path through the connector for the gases when in use; and, a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly (3003) comprising: a printed circuit board (3015); a dividing portion embedded in the walls of the second connector and extending across the lumen of the connector along a diameter or chord line, such that the dividing portion generally bisects at least part of the flow path, at least part of the dividing portion being overmolded by an overmolding composition; a wiring portion adjacent and projecting from the dividing portion in a direction away from the lumen of the second connector, the wiring portion comprising electrical contacts; a sensor portion (3017) disposed in the lumen and projecting from the dividing portion along the longitudinal axis, the sensor portion (3017) projecting downstream along the flow path and away from the source of gas flow (105) in use, the sensor portion (3017) comprising at least one sensor (3020), the sensor portion (3017) being overmolded by the overmolding composition; and, the printed circuit board (3015) comprising one or more conductive tracks (3021) having a tortuous path and being configured to electrically connect the at least one sensor (3020) to the electrical contacts; the at least one conductive filament configured to be electrically coupled to the two electrical conductors of the first connector and to the electrical contacts of the second connector.
