Abstract: A patient interface for supplying a flow of breathable gas to the airways of a patient may comprise a heat and moisture exchanger (HME). The HME may be positioned in a flow path of the flow of breathable gas. The HME may absorb heat and moisture from gas exhaled by the patient and the incoming flow of breathable gas to be supplied to the patient's airways may be heated and moisturized by the heat and moisture held in the HME.

Abstract: A humidifier (5000) for increasing an absolute humidity of a flow of air to be delivered to a patient’s airways. The humidifier comprises: a reservoir (5110) configured to retain a first volume of water; a humidifier chamber (5200) comprising: an air inlet (5002) for receiving the flow of air; humidifier wick (5230) configured to retain a second volume of water and substantially enclosing a path in the humidifier chamber for the flow of air; a heating element (5220) in thermal contact with the humidifier wick; an air outlet (5004) for delivering the flow of air; an air flow baffle (5208) configured to lengthen a path of the flow of air through the humidifier chamber; and a water delivery mechanism (connecting to 5206) configured to deliver a flow of water from the water reservoir to the water retention feature. The heating element is configured to heat the water retention feature to vaporise the second volume of water to add absolute humidity to the flow of air. The humidifier wick is removable from the humidifier chamber.

Abstract: The present disclosure seeks to provide a more efficient or reliable humidifier for a respiratory therapy device using a wick as a water retention feature. 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 to vaporise water retained by the wick, and an air flow baffle configured to promote humidification. The wick may be anisotropically configured, for example to improve a rate of humidification of the airflow or humidification efficiency. 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: A reservoir configured to retain a volume of liquid for use in an apparatus for humidifying a flow of pressurised air comprises a base portion and a lid portion. The reservoir may be configured to improve its level of thermal contact to the heater plate using the flow of pressurised air. The reservoir may be configured to improve thermal contact between the reservoir and the heater plate by pre-compression upon engagement of the reservoir with the humidifier. The reservoir may comprise a removable intermediate portion, which may include the inlet tube and/or the outlet tube, for improved access for cleaning. The reservoir may also be configured to prevent overfilling. Overfill prevention features in the reservoir may include defined flow egress paths and/or formation of air locks.

Abstract: A tub, tank or reservoir for holding water to be evaporated for breathing, inhalation is described. The tub (5110) has a base (5112), a lid or cover (5114), and an overfill or overflow protection mechanism, e.g. a gap, sloped spout or notch (5138) in a lip or flange (5224) through which water can escape the reservoir in the base when the lid is open. The tank may also be hinged between the base and lid, and be capable of creating an air lock when full.
