Abstract: The present invention provides a device with a pressure control system and methods for controlling the application of negative pressure to an external surface of an individual for creating and/or maintaining patency of the upper airway passage. The device is configured to fit under the chin of a subject at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The pressure control system contains control module elements that may include circuit board elements, digital output barometer elements, sensor elements, processing elements and memory elements to optimize device function and safety of the device through regulation of the flow rate of the air pump.

Abstract: The present invention relates to medical vacuum pump filtration devices configured to filter air being received by the pump. The filtration devices comprise a pump housing and a mounting cap which incorporates filtration capabilities that capture and or divert particulate matter and moisture away from a pump intake opening. The filtration cap can also include apertures for sensors contained within the vacuum pump housing and the filtration cap. Compliance features that ensure proper installation and use of the filtration device can be included.
