Abstract: A medical humidifier for humidification of air to be delivered to a patient's airways may include a humidification chamber, a reservoir and a water delivery mechanism. The humidification chamber may include a water retention feature such as a wick, a heating element for heating the humidification chamber, and an air flow baffle configured to promote humidification. The humidifier may be further configured to execute one or more algorithms, for example to determine a condition of the humidifier and/or to mitigate any detected faults. In some forms, the humidifier may also comprise algorithms for controlling one or more components of the humidifier.

Abstract: A humidifier for humidification of air to be delivered to a patient's airways may include a humidification chamber, a reservoir and a water delivery mechanism. The humidification chamber may include a water retention feature such as a wick that encloses part of the flow path, a heating element for heating the humidification chamber, and an air flow baffle configured to promote humidification. The humidifier may be further configured to execute one or more algorithms, for example to determine a condition of the wick or to detect condensation in the flow path. In some forms, the humidifier may also comprise algorithms for controlling one or more components of the humidifier such as to control the build up of foreign matter on the wick.

Abstract translation: 用于加湿被输送到患者气道的空气的加湿器可以包括加湿室，储存器和输水机构。 加湿室可以包括诸如包围流路的一部分的芯的保水特征，用于加热加湿室的加热元件和构造成促进加湿的气流挡板。 加湿器还可以被配置为执行一个或多个算法，例如以确定油绳的状况或检测流路中的冷凝。 在一些形式中，加湿器还可以包括用于控制加湿器的一个或多个部件的算法，以便控制在芯上积累异物。
