A61M 16/04
A61M 16/08
A61M 16/20
A61M 16/00

US Classification:

12820524

Abstract:

An interface system for use in providing a flow of pressurized gas to a patient. The interface system comprises a mask () structured to engage a nasal and/or oral orifice of a patient, a conduit () coupled to the mask, and a valve mechanism () operatively coupled to the mask or the conduit. The conduit is structured to communicate the flow of pressurized gas to the mask. The valve mechanism is structured to selectively impede the flow of pressurized gas to the patient and is actuated by the patient, thus allowing the patient to speak without interference from the flow of pressurized gas.

US Classification:

12820525

Abstract:

A patient interface device () includes a cushion (), a frame () having a faceplate portion. The cushion is coupled to the frame. The faceplate portion has a main orifice and holes adjacent the main orifice. The device further includes a coupling conduit () having an inlet end, an outlet end coupled to the inlet end, and a hood member having openings provided on an outer periphery thereof. The inlet end is structured to receive a flow of breathing gas. The outlet end is coupled to the main orifice to deliver the flow of breathing gas to the main conduit. The hood member surrounds the outlet end and is disposed over the holes such that exhalation gasses will through the holes and be captured by the hood member and directed through the openings.

International Classification:

A61M 16/06
A61M 16/00

US Classification:

12820525

Abstract:

A patient interface device () includes a patient sealing assembly () adapted to communicate a flow of breathing gas within an airway of a patient, the patient sealing assembly including a cushion (), a frame member () coupled to the cushion, and an adjustable forehead support assembly () coupled to the frame member. The adjustable forehead support assembly includes a forehead cushion () and an inflatable and deflatable bladder () coupled to the forehead cushion, wherein inflation and deflation of the bladder causes the distal end () of the frame member to move relative to the forehead cushion in a manner wherein a pressure applied to a bridge of a nose of the patient by the cushion is adjusted.

- Eindhoven, NL
Richard Thomas Haibach - Verona PA, US

International Classification:

A61M 16/06

Abstract:

A mask for use in providing a flow of a treatment gas to the airway of a user. The mask includes a frame and a conformable seal which is structured to sealingly engage about at least one of at least a portion of nose or mouth of the user. The frame includes a front face and a concave shaped rear face which faces the user when the mask is disposed on the user's face. The rear face defines a cavity which is structured to receive at least one of a portion of a nose and/or mouth of the user therein. The frame also includes a number of deformable zones, each deformable zone being structured to receive a removable insert. Each deformable zone is structured to adapt to at least one of a size or shape of the removable insert received therein.
