摘要: An improved system and method of determining a low water and/or water-out condition in a humidifier chamber of a respiratory or surgical humidifier system can use a specific frequency band to detect changes in a temperature of a heater plate. The temperature changes can correlate to the specific heat capacity value of the humidifier chamber. The low water and/or water-out detection process can be performed without having to determine the gases flow rate and/or can be run continuously. A heater plate assembly of the system can include a compliant insulation sheet to improve thermal coupling between the heating element and the top heating plate of the heater plate assembly, thereby improving the low water and/or water-out detection process.

摘要: Over-enthalpy conditions when using a respiratory and/or surgical humidifier system can be prevented. A heating element power in an inspiratory conduit can be limited based at least in part on one or more parameters of the gases flow, and/or on an ambient temperature. The limit on the heating element power in the inspiratory conduit can be achieved using a processor and/or protection circuit(s) located outside the processor. For example, the system can use the processor to determine and/or apply the limit as a level of protection and use the protection circuit(s) as another level of protection.

摘要: A gases humidification system includes a measuring chamber and a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber has one or more mixing elements that improve a mixing of gases before reaching the measuring chamber. Ultrasonic sensing is used to measure gases properties or characteristics within the measuring chamber. A baffle or a vane may be used to control and direct the gases flow through the mixing chamber as the gases flow moves into the measuring chamber.
