Problems solved by technology

This may be undesirable because when using a fluid trap at the patient's bedside, it is difficult to keep the trap level and thus keep the catheter properly drained into the fluid trap
Conversely, fluid traps are often skewed, limiting the amount of fluid it can hold without leaking and reducing the allowable time between emptying

Embodiment Construction

[0097] Referring to the drawings, a fluid trap 1 for a respiratory branch (such as an expiratory branch) of a respiratory therapy system (not shown) comprises:

[0098] at least one inlet 2 configured for connection to the respiratory limb to receive fluid from the respiratory limb;

[0099] a container 3 configured to contain fluid received from the inlet 2;

[0100] closure 5, closure 5 and container 3 are configured for removably mounted together to close container 3; and

[0101] a valve 7 configured to be removably mounted on at least one of the container 3 and the closure 5 and configured to prevent fluid from entering the inlet when the closure 5 is not mounted on the container 3 2 is received in the container 3 in the closed position, the valve 7 is further configured for being in an open position allowing fluid to enter the container 3 from the inlet 2 when the closure 5 is mounted on the container 3 .

[0102] In this example, the container 3 is substantially cylin...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a fluid trap for use with, or comprising part of, a respiratory therapy system, and in particular comprising part of, or configured to be connected to, a breathing limb, such as an expiratory limb, of a respiratory therapy system. The fluid trap comprises a container configured to contain fluid received from an inlet; a closure, the closure and container being configured to be removeably mounted together to close the container; and a valve configured to be removeably mounted on at least one of the container and the closure, and configured to be in a closed condition which prevents fluid from flowing through the inlet when the closure is not mounted on the container, the valve being further configured to be in an open position which allows fluid from the inlet into the container when the closure is mounted on the container.

Description

[0001] background technical field [0002] The present disclosure generally relates to a fluid trap for use with or comprising a portion of a respiratory therapy system, and in particular to a respiratory limb (such as an expiratory limb) of a respiratory therapy system. ), or configured for connection to a respiratory branch. This application claims priority to US Provisional Application 62 / 461708, filed February 21, 2017, and US 62 / 507065, filed May 16, 2017, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Background technique [0003] Respiratory therapy systems typically deliver heated and humidified gases for use in various medical procedures, including respiratory therapy, laparoscopy, and the like. Such systems can be configured for temperature, humidity and flow rate control. Respiratory humidification can also be used in respiratory therapy systems. [0004] Respiratory therapy systems are typically used to treat respiratory disorders, such ...
