    摘要: A system adapted to regulate pressure of a flow of breathable gas generated by a motorized blower fan. The system may include a flow estimation analyzer adapted to receive a speed signal representative of a speed of the fan and estimate a parameter representative of the flow of breathable gas (e.g., a flow rate of the breathable gas). The parameter may be determined by inputting the speed signal into a function (e.g., an equation, matrix, or lookup table), which may be selected from a plurality of predetermined functions. The predetermined function may be selected based upon a specific characteristic of the speed signal as identified at the time of estimation of the parameter representative of flow.

    摘要: The present inventions provide respiratory therapy apparatus that introduce water into the pressurized air delivered to a user during various positive airway pressure therapies and corresponding methods. The respiratory therapy apparatus may be configured to administer one or more positive airway pressure therapies, including: continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP), bi-level positive airway pressure therapy (BPAP), auto positive airway pressure therapy (autoPAP), proportional positive airway pressure therapy (PPAP), and/or other positive airway pressure therapies. The respiratory therapy apparatus may include a user interface that defines an interface passage to communicate pressurized air to the user for inhalation and a humidifier that introduces water into the pressurized air generally at the interface passage. Methods according to the present inventions may include introducing water into the interface passage at one or more humidifier ports disposed about the interface passage.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a nares mask and support apparatus (e.g., for use with a positive airway pressure therapy system) that may generate the desired mask retaining force while reducing or even eliminating the need for supplemental facial contact elements such as face-contacting straps or bands. The apparatus may include a first biasing element that biases a nares interface in a direction generally orthogonal to and towards the user's face. A second biasing element may bias the nares interface in a direction generally parallel to the face and towards the user's forehead. The biasing forces applied by the first and second biasing elements may thus produce a resultant force that biases the nares interface in a direction generally aligned with an axis of the nares.
