Abstract: A device and a method for creating and/or maintaining an obstruction free upper airway. The device is configured to fit under the chin of a subject adjacent to the subject's neck at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The device is capable of exerting negative pressure on the surface of a subject's neck, displacing the soft tissue forward and enlarging the airway.

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.
