    摘要: The technology relates to a vent for a respiratory therapy system. The vent comprises a vent body having formed therein a plurality of slots allowing a vent flow of exhaled gases to ambient. The slots have a length, a width and a height. In examples the width of each slot is significantly greater than the height and the slots are arranged such that the widths of the slots extend in mutually parallel directions. The vent body may also be configured so that the length of each slot is significantly greater than the height and/or the outlet area is greater than the inlet area. In examples the vent is provided with a cover and an actuator to move the cover between a first position in which the cover at least partially occludes flow through the vent and a second position in which the degree of occlusion is reduced.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a plenum chamber insert for a patient interface for providing a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure to a patient for breathing, the plenum chamber insert comprising: a frame comprising: a plenum chamber insert port; an exterior surface; and a first channel recessed into the frame and below the exterior surface; and a heat and moisture exchanger (HMX) material positioned inside of the frame, the HMX material configured to receive and retain water from gas exhaled by the patient and to desorb retained water into the flow of air at the therapeutic pressure passing through the HMX material during use, wherein the first channel extends radially inward along the exterior surface and towards the plenum chamber insert port to form a flow path that allows air to travel around the frame without passing through the HMX material.
