Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/703,457, filed Jul. 29, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to a flow generator used in the treatment, e.g., of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) with CPAP or Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV).
- A flow generator typically includes a housing with an integrated control panel for controlling the delivery of pressurized air to be provided to a patient for treatment. Treatment may be provided in various forms, from both simple CPAP systems to more complex non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), such as a Bi-level pressurized gas delivery system. The flow generator may be structured to administer only one form of treatment, or the flow generator may be structured to administer various forms of treatment.
- Regardless of the type of flow generator, the control panel of the flow generator allows a clinician and/or patient to adjust the operating parameters or settings of the flow generator for a particular treatment. When the treatment is more complex, the control panel may be relatively advanced with multiple menus and features. If the operating parameters for a treatment are not appropriately selected, e.g., selected by an untrained patient, the treatment may be ineffective and/or harmful to the patient, or the patient simply will not use the apparatus.
- Known control panels provide security codes to prevent the patient from inappropriately adjusting certain operating parameters. However, if the patient learns the security codes and/or the security codes are not implemented, the patient can access the same operating parameters as a trained clinician. Therefore, a need has developed in the art to provide improvements to known flow generators to prevent inappropriate selection of operating parameters.
- One aspect of the invention is directed towards an air delivery system including a flow generator with interchangeable controllers to control operation of the flow generator, wherein one of the controllers includes basic features for use by a patient and the other of the controllers includes more advanced features for use by a trained clinician.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to an air delivery system including a controllable flow generator, a primary controller, and an auxiliary controller. The flow generator is operable to generate a supply of pressurized breathable gas to be provided to a patient for treatment. The primary controller is associated with at least one primary control feature to select at least a first aspect of operation of the flow generator. The auxiliary controller is associated with at least one auxiliary control feature to select at least a second aspect of operation of the flow generator. The second aspect selected by the auxiliary controller is different than the first aspect selected by the primary controller. The primary and auxiliary controllers may be interchangeably usable to control operation of the flow generator.
- Yet another aspect of the invention relates to an air delivery system including a controllable flow generator and a primary controller. The flow generator is operable to generate a supply of pressurized breathable gas to be provided to a patient for treatment. The primary controller is detachably mountable to the flow generator. The controller is associated with at least one primary control feature to select or control at least a first aspect of operation of the flow generator.
- Yet another aspect of the invention relates to an air delivery system including a flow generator and a primary controller. The flow generator is structured to generate a supply of pressurized breathable gas. The flow generator is programmed with basic flow generator control features and advanced flow generator control features. The primary controller is only in communication with at least one of the basic control features of the flow generator.
- Yet another aspect of the invention relates to an air delivery system including a flow generator and a blood glucose monitor. The flow generator is operable to generate a supply of pressurized breathable gas to be provided to a patient for treatment. The blood glucose monitor is detachably mountable to the flow generator.
- Yet another aspect of the invention relates to an air delivery system including a controllable flow generator operable to generate a supply of pressurized breathable gas to be provided to a patient for treatment. The flow generator is operable in a continuous pressure delivery mode and a variable pressure delivery mode. At least one controller is configured to operate the flow generator in one of the continuous pressure delivery mode or the variable pressure delivery mode.
- Other aspects, features, and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this disclosure and which illustrate, by way of example, principles of the invention.

FIG. 1 illustrates anair delivery system 10 constructed according to an embodiment of the present invention. Theair delivery system 10 includes acontrollable flow generator 12 operable to generate a supply of pressurized breathable air to be provided to a patient for treatment, e.g., of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) with CPAP or Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV). - The
air delivery system 10 providesinterchangeable controllers flow generator 12. Onecontroller 14 includes basic features for use by the patient, and theother controller 16 includes more advanced features for use by a trained clinician. This arrangement prevents the patient from selecting inappropriate operating parameters of theflow generator 12, as discussed in greater detail below. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , theflow generator 12 includes ahousing 18 that supports a blower. As is known in the art, the blower is operable to draw a supply of air into the housing through one or more intake openings and provide a pressurized flow of air at anoutlet 20. - The supply of pressurized air is delivered to the patient via an
air delivery conduit 22 that includes one end coupled to theoutlet 20 of theflow generator 12 and an opposite end coupled to a patient interface 24 (e.g., seeFIG. 2 ). - The
patient interface 24 comfortably engages the patient's face and provides a seal. Thepatient interface 24 may have any suitable configuration as is known in the art, e.g., full-face mask, nasal mask, oro-nasal mask, mouth mask, nasal prongs, etc. Also, any suitable headgear arrangement may be utilized to comfortably support the patient interface in a desired position on the patient's face. - As noted above, the
flow generator 12 is controllable byinterchangeable controllers controllers flow generator 12 and may be interchangeably useable to control operation of theflow generator 12. - Also, a removable or interchangeable controller allows the controller to be installed into a replacement flow generator without having to reprogram as patient information may be stored in the removable controller.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , each of thecontrollers flow generator 12. A suitable protocol controls whether thecontroller 14 orcontroller 16 operates to select operational aspects of the flow generator. For example, a “registration” button may be provided on theflow generator 12 that is configured to learn the operating frequency of a controller, e.g., radio frequency wireless technology. - Each
controller flow generator 12 based on input signals. Thecontrollers control panel display screen controller flow generator 12. As illustrated, thehousing 18 of theflow generator 12 provides arecess 38, e.g., in the top wall, adapted to removably hold a selected one of thecontrollers - In the illustrated embodiment, one
controller 14 is a primary controller that is operable to receive input signals from primary control features 34 to control operation of theflow generator 12. That is, theprimary controller 14 includes relatively basic control features 34 adapted to control relatively basic aspects of theflow generator 12. Theprimary controller 14 is adapted for use by one who is relatively untrained, e.g., patient, to prevent the control of advanced aspects of theflow generator 12 that could alter the effectiveness of the treatment and/or cause harm to the patient. Also, the problem of patients being able to learn how to enter a program mode is ameliorated over current devices. - The
other controller 16 is an auxiliary controller that is operable to receive input signals from auxiliary control features 36 to control operation of theflow generator 12. That is, theauxiliary controller 16 includes relatively advanced control features 36 adapted to control relatively advanced aspects of theflow generator 12. Theauxiliary controller 16 may also include basic control features similar to those provided by theprimary controller 14. In the illustrated embodiment, theauxiliary controller 16 provides more control features than theprimary controller 14. Regardless, theauxiliary controller 16 provides control features that are different than the basic features provided by theprimary controller 14, thereby allowing control of aspects not accessible by theprimary controller 14. Theauxiliary controller 16 is adapted for use by one, e.g., clinician, who is relatively trained in breathing treatment to allow control of advanced aspects of theflow generator 12 in order to tailor and/or adjust treatment provided to the patient. Furthermore, a service technician may have a controller version that allows the service technician to diagnose motor and/or circuit board operations, perform testing, and/or service the flow generator. - Thus, the
flow generator 12 provides separate clinical and patient use. In an embodiment, theprimary controller 14 is usable by a patient to operate theflow generator 12 in a manner that has been already pre-programmed by a trained clinician. This facilitates operation, and prevents the patient from changing the operating parameters. - The trained clinician pre-programs the
flow generator 12 with theauxiliary controller 16. As noted above, theauxiliary controller 16 allows access to advanced features, e.g., via clinical menus, to program theflow generator 12 for a particular treatment. Theauxiliary controller 16 may allow access to a memory that stores preferred operating parameters for a variety of treatments. Theauxiliary controller 16 can then control theflow generator 12 based on the stored operating parameters in the memory for the selected treatment. Alternatively, the operating parameters for a selected treatment may be entered manually through theauxiliary controller 16. Further, theauxiliary controller 16 may allow access to a log of the patient's use for tracking purposes. This separate clinical/patient arrangement of the system allows the clinician to monitor operation and adjust operating parameters of theflow generator 12 without patient interference. - In an embodiment, the relatively
basic controller 14 may be configured to control start, stop, and delay timer operations. When theflow generator 12 is registered with the relativelyadvanced controller 16, the relativelybasic controller 14 still functions but the relativelyadvanced controller 16 can override the relativelybasic controller 14. The relativelyadvanced controller 16 may also have patient setup and diagnostic functions such as adjusting pressure, checking patient compliance, and/or usage data. The relativelyadvanced controller 16 may be deregistered from theflow generator 12 once theflow generator 12 has been operated with the relativelybasic controller 14 for more than one sleep session. - It is noted that a
flow generator 12 may be controllable by a single controller or multiple controllers, with each of controllers having control features suitable for a particular treatment. For example, one controller may be usable to operate the flow generator as a simple CPAP device, one controller may be usable to operate the flow generator as a more advanced VPAP device, etc. Thus, the flow generator may be upgraded by communicating a new controller with theflow generator 12. - The air delivery system may provide a “plug and play” arrangement wherein the patient can simply communicate a controller with the
flow generator 12 to automatically configure theflow generator 12 for a particular treatment. For example, the system may include controller to operate the flow generator as a CPAP device, and a controller to operate the flow generator as a VPAP device. Each controller would have a unique identifying feature so that theflow generator 12 can recognize which controller is communicated to theflow generator 12. Moreover, the controller can optimize operation of theflow generator 12 for the specified treatment. - Controller with Clock/Alarm
- As noted above, the
controller flow generator 12 may be wirelessly communicated with theflow generator 12. This arrangement allows the patient and/or clinician to easily adjust operating parameters of theflow generator 12 without being adjacent to theflow generator 12. Moreover, this arrangement allows theflow generator 12 and thecontroller - For example,
FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment wherein thecontroller 214 is placed on a bedside table 80 and theflow generator 212 is placed under the table 80 away from thecontroller 214. As illustrated, thecontroller 214 includes astand 82 structured to maintain it in a generally upright position on the table 80. Additionally, thecontroller 214 is structured to function as a clock with an alarm and/or radio. In use, theflow generator 212 can operate under the table 80 where it is concealed and the noise during use is less disturbing to the patient. Meanwhile, the patient can wirelessly control theflow generator 212 by thecontroller 214 which doubles as an clock, alarm, and/or radio. - Controller with Integral Blood Glucose Monitor
-
FIG. 3 illustrates an arrangement that includes aflow generator 312 and a removably attachableblood glucose monitor 314. Themonitor 314 may be stored within arecess 338 provided in thehousing 318 of theflow generator 312. As illustrated, themonitor 314 includes acontrol panel 326 and arecess 390 adapted to receive one of the patient's fingers for performing a blood glucose test. Information from themonitor 314 may be communicated to a physician via the flow generator. In an embodiment, themonitor 314 may adapt therapeutic pressure to optimize patient ventilation according to blood glucose levels. - In the illustrated embodiment, control features 334 for operating the
flow generator 312 are provided on thehousing 318. However, the control features 334 may be incorporated into themonitor 314 in a manner as described above. - In another embodiment, the flow generator may include an add-on or integral medicine delivery module that delivers medicinal drug (e.g., insulin) into the air delivery path. The medicinal drug may include atomized, aerosol, and/or particulate medication, and the medicinal drug may be delivered into the air delivery path anywhere between the flow generator and the patient interface. In an embodiment, the medicine delivery module may be integrated with the controller and a bypass tube may add the drug into the air delivery path.
- In illustrated embodiments, the
controller flow generator flow generator controller flow generator - For example, as schematically shown in
FIG. 4 , theflow generator 12 may include aninput 50, and eachcontroller 14 may include an output 52 (e.g., a communication port or an electrical contact) adapted to removably engage theinput 50 to communicate eachcontroller 14 with theflow generator 12. In an embodiment, the input may be provided within therecess 38 of theflow generator housing 18 shown inFIG. 1 , and the output of the controller removably engages the input when the controller is removably inserted into therecess 38. The system may be disabled if a controller is not properly engaged with the flow generator. In another embodiment, the input and output are coupled via a cable. - The controller may be adapted to receive information from one or more patient monitors monitoring one or more patient parameters, e.g., patient's heart rate, breathing effort, etc. The patient and/or clinician may adjust the operating parameters of the flow generator based on the monitored parameters and/or the flow generator may automatically update the operating parameters based on the monitored parameters.
- The controller may be programmable to operate other devices, e.g., television, stereo, etc. That is, the controller may be programmed via self learning to function as a remote control for the television, stereo, etc. and may interface with wireless smart wiring in the home to control lighting, etc.
- Flow Generator with Single Controller
- In an embodiment, the flow generator may be provided with a single removable controller that may be used by the patient and/or clinician. Thus, the controller may form a common unit that incorporates primary and auxiliary controllers. The common unit may be selectively attachable to and detachable from the flow generator in a manner as described above. Moreover, the auxiliary controller may only be accessible using an electronic key, e.g., only available at a health clinic, provided to only a licensed clinician or health provider.
- In another embodiment, the single controller may be used by the clinician to program the flow generator, and the flow generator may be supplied to the patient without the controller so the patient cannot adjust the operating parameters.
- In still another embodiment, the flow generator and the controller may be sold separately from one another. That is, the patient may purchase the controller separately from the flow generator depending on desired control features and/or treatment. Also, the patient could rent a flow generator when traveling, e.g., overseas, and therefore only travel with the controller which makes travel more convenient.
- In yet another embodiment, the flow generator may be upgradable or simply changeable between AUTOSET® (generically known as auto-adjusting mode), CPAP, VPAP® (generically known as bi-level mode), etc, by using different controllers or a single controller that can select the desired operating mode. That is, the patient can upgrade a basic flow generator that is programmed and structured to operate in a plurality of modes (e.g., AUTOSET®, CPAP, VPAP®, etc., all available from ResMed) by using a new controller, and hence make the flow generator work like an AUTOSET®, CPAP, VPAP®, etc. The flow generator can be upgraded with a hardware upgrade, i.e., using a different controller, and/or a software upgrade, i.e., upgrading software of a single controller.
- In still another embodiment, the flow generator may include a single patient controller and a single technician controller. Moreover, the technician controller may be used in a plurality of flow generators. Thus, the technician may use a single controller to adjust the operating parameters of different flow generators.
- Controller with Touchscreen Display
- In another embodiment, the controller may have a touchscreen display, which may be configured to display functions for operating certain types of flow generators and/or for certain user levels. The display may include a relatively large touchscreen with a configurable background that shows simple menus and information, and start/stop buttons. The clinician can set up the display to suit the user and/or the user can select which functions need to be displayed, i.e., buttons frequently used by the user. For example,
FIG. 5A illustrates an embodiment of atouchscreen display 60 that is configured to include simple functions for a basic controller, andFIG. 5B illustrates an embodiment of atouchscreen display 62 that is configured to include more complex functions for a more advanced controller; e.g., clinician controller. - While the invention has been described in connection with what are presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the invention. Also, the various embodiments described above may be implemented in conjunction with other embodiments, e.g., aspects of one embodiment may be combined with aspects of another embodiment to realize yet other embodiments. In addition, while the invention has particular application to patients who suffer from OSA, it is to be appreciated that patients who suffer from other illnesses (e.g., congestive heart failure, diabetes, morbid obesity, stroke, barriatric surgery, etc.) can derive benefit from the above teachings. Moreover, the above teachings have applicability with patients and non-patients alike in non-medical applications.
