    摘要: A system for identifying a body position of a user of a respiratory therapy system includes a sensor, a memory, and a control system. The sensor is configured to generate airflow data associated with the user. The memory stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to receive the airflow data associated with the user during a sleep session. The control system is further configured to determine one or more features associated with the airflow data, and identify the body position of the user during a first portion of the sleep session based at least in part on the determined one or more features. The control system is further configured to cause an action to be performed based at least in part on the identified body position of the user.

    摘要: A system includes a respiratory therapy system, a memory device, and a control system. The respiratory therapy system includes a respiratory therapy device supplying pressurized air, and a user interface coupled to the respiratory therapy device via a conduit to direct the pressurized air to an airway of a user. The memory device stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes a processor(s) to execute the machine-readable instructions to: generate data, during a current sleep session, associated with a user of a respiratory therapy system; analyze the generated data to determine a value of a first metric that is associated with a sleep disordered breathing (SDB) condition; analyze the generated data to determine a value of a second metric that is associated with a health condition other than the SDB condition; and based at least in part on the determined value of the second metric, cause an action to be performed.

    摘要: A method of an apparatus control pressure in the patient interface. A vent valve may be used with a respiratory device, where the vent valve may selectively block fluid communication between components, such as the flow generator, the patient interface, and/or the vent. An expiratory flow model may be used to determine an expiratory characteristic such as an expiratory flow rate or pressure in the patient interface where an indicative measure may not be available. The expiratory flow model may receive inputs based on a measure of the patient's respiration, such as the tidal volume, peak inspiratory flow rate or length of inspiration. The expiratory characteristic may be used by a controller to control a pressure in the patient interface to provide respiratory therapy to a patient at or close to a target pressure.

    摘要: A respiratory valve, such as a positive end expiratory pressure valve, permits pressure control for respiratory apparatus such as a ventilator or positive airway pressure device. The valve may include a flexible gas passage cover. The cover may be configured with a first side surface to operatively block and open an aperture of the gas passage at a valve seat to respectively prevent and permit gas flow through the aperture defined by the valve seat. The cover may include a second side surface opposite the first surface. The second surface may include at least one drop section forming a reduction in thickness of the cover between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface may include a coating to reduce friction of a membrane material of the first surface. The rim of the valve seat may comprise a variation in height relative the flexible cover.

    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: 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.
