This invention relates to a ventilation structure for a respiratory therapy system. In one embodiment, the ventilation structure includes a ventilation housing. The ventilation housing may define a flow path for exhausting airflow from the respiratory therapy system, an air inlet configured to allow airflow into the flow path, and an air outlet configured to allow airflow out of the flow path into ambient air. The ventilation housing may be configured such that the flow path includes a bend and deflection region in which the flow path changes direction by at least 90°. The ventilation housing may include a guide configured to guide the exhaust air radially or laterally outward from the ventilation housing.

The present invention discloses a breathing valve and a breathing treatment device, which includes a breathing valve body; and a filter element, which is arranged inside the breathing valve body or at the outlet of the breathing valve body close to the patient end; the filter element is used to filter the inhaled airflow or the exhaled airflow. By arranging a filter element inside the breathing valve body or at the outlet close to the patient end, the breathing valve has a filtering function without additionally configuring a filter. While ensuring that the breathing valve has a filtering function, it also simplifies the structure of the breathing valve, facilitates the use of the breathing valve, and avoids the direct discharge of the patient's exhaled airflow, which pollutes the oxygen source and indoor air and causes cross infection between medical staff and other patients.

The present disclosure relates to a breathing circuit and a method for providing respiratory support to a patient. The breathing circuit and method can be used in any type of breathing therapy including, for example unsealed respiratory therapy such as high flow therapy, and scaled respiratory therapy such as continuous positive air(way) pressure (CPAP) therapy, and bilevel positive air pressure therapy where the inspiratory and expiratory pressures differ. The breathing circuit includes first and second passageways that can convey a breathing gas to a patient interface, wherein the first passageway is connectable to a first gas source to supply a first gas, and the second passageway is connectable to the first gas source and to a second gas source.

To provide a system and a method for active electric power management in a medical device.SOLUTION: A respiratory treatment device includes an air blower for providing a flow of breathable gas to a patient and one or more accessory devices. The respiratory treatment device includes active electric power management for distributing electric power from an electric power source in which electric power is insufficient for simultaneous supply of electric power to the air blower and the accessory device. By the active electric power management, electric power for the air blower is given priority. Electric power supplied to the accessory device is limited so as to preserve a total of electric power drawn in the capacity of the power source or electric power drawn below the capacity of the power source on the basis of the measurement of current of the air blower and the accessory device. In the case where additional electric power can be used, the electric power for the one or more accessory devices is increased beyond a target so as to compensate for a case where electric power is not supplied to the one or more accessory devices resulting from a decrease in power consumption by the air blower.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5D
