Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pressure support system includes a pressure generator, a pressure sensor, a flow sensor, and a controller cooperating with the pressure sensor and the flow sensor to control operation of the pressure generator. The controller is structured to automatically identify a patient interface device in use with the pressure support system by detecting a change of exhaust flow of up to a predetermined amount across a predetermined pressure gradient of a pressure range of the pressure support system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A pressure support system comprising: a pressure generator; a pressure sensor; a flow sensor; and a controller cooperating with the pressure sensor and the flow sensor to control operation of the pressure generator, wherein the controller includes a processor and a stored routine executed by the processor, wherein the routine is structured to automatically identify a patient interface device in use with the pressure support system by: providing a pl…
