    摘要: Components for a respiratory treatment apparatus that is capable of providing a humidified respiratory treatment permit a reduction in condensation in a patient interface and/or its gas delivery tubing. In some embodiments, a rainout valve that may be an integrated component of a humidifier output aperture, or coupled thereto, may reduce condensation with a vapor barrier operable to selectively block and permit humidified gas transfer from the humidifier. For example, the barrier may be operable to open in response to a flow of pressurized breathable gas that may be generated by a flow generator of the respiratory treatment apparatus. In the absence of such a generation of pressurized flow, the barrier may prevent a transfer of the humidified gas such as into a conduit for a patient interface by retracting to a closed position. Example vapor barriers may include a resilient membrane, cover, bellows, flap, shutter or other suitable valve.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus provide acoustic detection for automated devices such as respiratory treatment apparatus. In some embodiments of the technology, acoustic analysis of noise or sound pulses, such as a cepstrum analysis, based on signals of a sound sensor (104) permits detection of obstruction (O) such as within a patient interface, mask or respiratory conduit (108) or within patient respiratory system. Some embodiments further permit detection of accessories such as an identification thereof or a condition of use thereof, such as a leak. Still further embodiments of the technology permit the detection of a patient or user who is intended to use the automated device.

    摘要: 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.
