Liquid chamber for a breathing assistance apparatus

Abstract

Abstract A humidifier liquid chamber or a humidifier liquid chamber manifold has first and second base unit connection ports 157, 159 for connecting to a breathing assistance apparatus base unit, the base unit connection ports defining respective axes A1, A2. The base unit connection ports are substantially parallel to each other and are separated by a port separation distance PSD between the axes. At least one of the base unit connection ports 157, 159 has a sealing depth SD defined by a portion of the port that is configured to overlap with a complementary chamber connection port of the base unit. A ratio of the sealing depth SD to port separation distance PSD is more than about 0.25.
