Ventilator with blower and valve assembly for patient breathing
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11998690B2) discloses a novel ventilator design that includes a blower with a valve assembly allowing air to flow in different directions during inhalation and exhalation phases of a patient's breathing cycle. The blower is equipped with a flow sensor system comprising a flow sensor and a flow element to measure airflow accurately in both directions. The flow element, constructed of a heat conductive material like aluminum, is designed to conduct heat from the motor to prevent condensation and enhance flow measurement. The valve assembly also includes inlet and outlet valves, a filter for air purification, and additional features like a mucous trap and heat moisture exchange filter for enhanced functionality. The patent also covers a modular ventilator system with replaceable modules for remote control, oxygen enhancement, and stabilization, offering a versatile and customizable solution for various medical settings.
Furthermore, the patent details a wearable ventilator system with a muffling chamber to reduce noise levels, making it suitable for continuous use. The valve assembly's unique design allows for efficient air intake and release during different phases of the breathing cycle, ensuring optimal ventilation for patients. The inclusion of a flow sensor system with a specialized flow element highlights the focus on accurate flow measurement and patient comfort. The modular system's flexibility, with interchangeable modules for different functionalities, adds to the patent's innovative approach in providing a comprehensive and adaptable solution for respiratory care. Overall, the patent showcases advancements in ventilator technology aimed at improving patient outcomes and enhancing the efficiency of respiratory support systems in healthcare settings.
