Abstract: A flow regulating valve for a respiratory treatment system is disclosed, as well as a vent arrangement comprising the flow regulating valve. The flow regulating valve may include an inlet, an outlet, and a variable conduit in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. The variable conduit may include a movable portion that may move to vary an impedance of the variable conduit, thereby regulating a flow rate of the air travelling through the variable conduit. Advantageously, the flow regulating valve may thus reduce wastage of air (e.g. humidified air) that is exhausted from a respiratory treatment system, while maintaining sufficient washout of air.

Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to acoustic detection mask systems and/or methods. In certain examples, an acoustic detection mask system is provided. An example acoustic detection mask system includes a mask having a microphone located therein or thereon. The microphone is connected to a data logger that is configured to capture vibrations and/or sounds registered by the microphone. The data logger may store such information in a computer readable storage media thereof for subsequent analysis, e.g., via a computer program accessing such data after the data logger is connected to a separate computer system. The microphone may be positioned and the data analyzed so as to determine differences between oral and nasal breathing, as well as sleep-disordered breath and/or snoring. Such components may be provided as a part of a system or in any suitable combination or sub-combination. Associated methods also are described herein as a part of the technology.

Abstract: Methods of an apparatus determine a quantity of a body of water in a humidifier such as by indirect measurement. The quantity of water may be determined by measuring one or more properties or characteristics, from which the quantity of water may be inferred. Characteristics of a flow of air, the humidifier, and/or the body of water may be measured. The characteristics may be, for example, pressure, flow rate, noise, vibration, temperature, electrical or mechanical. These may be measured by one or more sensors, which may be located in the humidifier, RPT device, air circuit or the patient interface. The methods described may have advantages, for example in being able to detect the quantity of water without requiring sensors to be present in a disposable component, and in some cases, without introduction of additional sensors.

Abstract: A method, such as in a controller associated with a respiratory therapy device, determines whether high flow therapy is being used by a patient. The method may include determining whether a property of a flow of air being delivered by a respiratory therapy device along an air circuit to an unsealed patient interface contains a significant oscillation within a breathing rate frequency band. The method may also include generating, dependent on the determination, an indication of whether high flow therapy is being used by the patient.

Abstract: A PAP system is adapted for treatment of respiratory disease or sleep disordered breathing and includes a headgear adapted for engaging a patient's head. The PAP system also includes a patient interface adapted to be secured to and sealed against a portion of the patient's face, in use, by the headgear. The PAP system further includes a flow generator adapted to be connected to the patient interface. The flow generator is adapted to be secured by a portion of the headgear to the patient's head. In addition, the flow generator includes a blower adapted to provide pressurised breathable gas to a patient through the patient interface. The blower is at least partially vibrationally isolated from the patient's head by at least one foam layer mounted within the flow generator to secure the blower. The at least one foam layer is adapted to reduce the amount of transmitted vibration received by the patient. The flow generator also includes a mounting structure limiting a compression of the at least one foam layer due to the weight of the blower. The mounting structure includes at least one protrusion extending from an interior surface of the flow generator toward the blower.
