Abstract

Apparatus for generating a supply of air at positive pressure for the amelioration or treatment of a respiratory disorder, comprising: at least one chamber; a blower structured and configured to produce a flow of air at positive pressure; an inlet tube array including a plurality of inlet tubes structured and configured to allow ambient air to enter the at least one chamber; and a flow tube array including a plurality of flow tubes structured and configured to allow air to exit the at least one chamber, wherein the inlet tube array is axially spaced apart from the flow tube array, wherein the inlet tubes of the inlet tube array include axes that are arranged substantially parallel to axes of the flow tubes of the flow tube array, and wherein at least one of the inlet tubes includes an axis that is not coaxial with an axis of at least one of the flow tubes.

Claims (5)

1. Apparatus for generating a supply of air at positive pressure for the amelioration or treatment of a respiratory disorder, comprising: at least one chamber; a blower structured and configured to produce a flow of air at positive pressure; an inlet tube array including a plurality of inlet tubes structured and configured to allow ambient air to enter the at least one chamber; and a flow tube array including a plurality of flow tubes structured and configured to allow air to exit the at least one chamber, wherein the inlet tube array is axially spaced apart from the flow tube array, wherein the inlet tubes of the inlet tube array include axes that are arranged substantially parallel to axes of the flow tubes of the flow tube array, and wherein at least one of the inlet tubes includes an axis that is not coaxial with an axis of at least one of the flow tubes.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the blower includes an axis that is substantially parallel with the axes of the inlet tubes and the flow tubes.
3. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 2, wherein the inlet tube array is axially spaced apart from the flow tube array by about 10-15 mm.
4. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein each of the inlet tubes includes an axis that is not coaxial with an axis of each of the flow tubes. JAWS Ref: 506133NZDIV4
5. System for treating a respiratory disorder, comprising: a patient interface structured and configured to form a seal with a patient’s face; the apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4; and an air circuit to connect the patient interface and the apparatus.
