Abstract: An infrared gas analyser. The analyser comprises a sample cell located in a gas flow, a source of infrared radiation of selected wavelengths which is propagated through the sample cell and an infrared detector which receives radiation which has passed through the cell, The radiation incident on the detector provides a measure of the concentration of selected substances in the gas flow due to one of the wavelengths being selected to be absorbed by the gas being measured. One preferred use is as a humidity sensor in a medical respiratory circuit where at least one selected wavelength is a wavelength strongly absorbed by water. Heating means am associated with the sample cell to vaporize any liquid water which may enter it and the cell is provided with internal baffles to reduce deposition or condensation of water on internal surfaces through which infrared radiation must pass. In one embodiment two selected wavelengths are derived from a single source with the second reference wavelength being a wavelength which is not significantly absorbed by the gas being measured and the source is switched between two power supplies to ensure the output of the detector is equal for the two wavelengths when the concentration of the measured gas is zero.In a second embodiment two single wavelength sources are used and their combined outputs passed through the sample cell.

Abstract: A medical breathing assistance apparatus (20) for supplying pressurised gases to a patient is disclosed. The breathing assistance apparatus (20) comprises a heating chamber (29) and a pressure chamber (27) both adapted to contain water, and at least one pressure adjusting means (24,25,26). The pressure chamber (27) is connected to the heating chamber (29) and the pressure adjusting means (24,25,26) is located between the heating chamber (29) and a gases supplying means (23) supplying gas to both the pressure chamber (27) and heating chamber (29). The pressure adjusting means (24,25,26) is adapted to convert pressurised gases from the gases supply means (23) to two different pressures, one to each of the heating chamber (29) and the pressure chamber (27), so that water flows from said pressure chamber (27) to the heating chamber (29).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for delivering a supply of gases to a patient. The device includes a patient interface and connecting member. The connecting member is preferably a L-shaped swivelled connector that is capable of being fixed into one of two positions, a first position where the connector is freely rotatable within the patient interface, and a second position where an interference between the interface and connector prevents the free rotation of the connector within the patient interface. The present invention further relates to a connector that has outlet means, which includes at least one outlet vent and a funnel, which in use directs and passes a substantial portion gases expired from the patient through the outlet vent or vents.

Abstract: A mouthpiece for oral delivery for oral delivery of CPAP treatment has a vestibular shield for location between the teeth and lips/cheeks of a wearer. The vestibular shield is formed from a very supple material and is dimensioned to extend laterally into the buccal vestibule and vertically to overlap the gums. A gases pathway is provided through the vestibular shield and may include a hard plastic insert through the shield. A connection for connecting the mouthpiece to a breathing circuit is provided which reduces the transfer of forces caused by movement therebetween.
