    Abstract: A respiratory treatment device includes a blower for providing flow of breathable gas to a patient and one or more accessory devices. The respiratory treatment device includes active power management to distribute power from a power source that does not have sufficient power to simultaneously power the blower and the accessory devices. The active power management prioritizes power to the blower and limits, based on current measurements of the blower and the accessory devices, the power supplied to the accessory devices to keep the sum of the power drawn at or below the capacity of the power supply. When additional power is available, due reduced power consumption of the blower, the power to one or more accessory devices is raised beyond a target in order to compensate for when power was not supplied to the one or more accessory devices.

    Abstract: A respiratory conduit apparatus that conducts a breathable gas for respiratory therapy may include electrical circuit components to assist with therapy. In an example, a delivery conduit for connection with a patient interface and a respiratory therapy device may include a cuff having a microcontroller unit. The cuff may be configured with circuit components for accessory identification, gas characteristic detection for therapy control, heating and communications. In some versions, the delivery conduit may include a controller in a circuit board assembly located at an end of the delivery conduit. The printed circuit board may be configured to control and power the components of the cuff, as well as communicate with a respiratory therapy device.

    Abstract: Apparatus to permit a delivery of a flow of breathable gas to a patient's airways. In one version, a coupler extension may include a seat portion to permit use of a mask with a nasal cannula. In some versions, the coupler extension is configured to conduct the flow of gas to prongs of a nasal cannula. The seat portion can receive and seal with a cushion of a respiratory mask and may have a sealing bevel to promote sealing between the cushion of the respiratory mask and a facial contact surface of a user. In some versions, a conduit adapted to communicate a flow of gas may comprise a slit valve formed by a portion of the wall material of the conduit. In some versions, a nasal interface may include naris pillows to seal with and conduct a flow of breathable gas into a nares of a user. Each naris pillow may include a nasal projection to conduct a further flow of gas. The nasal projection may extend within the naris beyond the seal of the naris pillow.
