    Abstract: A respiratory apparatus includes components to protect operations of the apparatus. For example, in some versions, the apparatus may include a power supply, a motor powered by the power supply, and a transient absorption diode circuit between the motor and the power supply. The transient absorption diode circuit may be configured to absorb energy generated by the motor from rotational kinetic energy. Such absorption may serve to protect the components of the apparatus. In some examples, the apparatus may include a fault mitigation integrated circuit (IC). The IC circuit may be included in the respiratory apparatus to detect one or more faults based on physical and system parameters of the apparatus. The fault mitigation integrated circuit may generate a signal to stop the motor based on the detected fault, and may digitally communicate with a processor information about the detected fault.

    Abstract: A heat and moisture exchanger (HME) for engaging a patient's nose while retrofit into a plenum chamber of a patient interface. The HME includes a frame configured to couple to a ridge of the patient's nose, and a cradle coupled to the frame. The cradle is configured to be positioned proximate to the patient's nares. The HME also includes an HME material coupled to the cradle. The HME material is configured to retain moisture exhaled by the patient. Air is configured to pass through the HME material when entering and exiting the patient's nares. The HME engages and is secured to the patient's nose independently of any other structure.
