In order to thoroughly understand the present invention, a detailed structure will be set forth in the following description. It will be apparent that the practice of the invention is not limited to the specific details that are apparent to those skilled in the art. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but the present invention may have other embodiments in addition to the detailed description.

The present invention provides a ventilation therapy device. Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same components or elements in Figures 1-3 use the same reference numerals. As shown in Fig. 1, the ventilation treatment apparatus 100 includes a detection unit 110, a code conversion unit 130, and an output unit 150.

The detecting unit 110 is for detecting the use condition information of the ventilation therapy device 100. The usage status information sent to the hospital or medical institution varies depending on the specific ventilation treatment equipment or the doctor's requirements. Typically, the usage status information includes treatment days, average daily treatment time, and/or treatment pressure (average P95 pressure or average P90 pressure). Of course, it may also include an AHI (Anea: Apnea Hypopneas Index), a snoring index, and/or a leak.

As an example, when it is desired to detect the pressure and flow of gas provided by the ventilation therapy device, the detection unit 110 can include sensors disposed within the ventilation therapy device 100, such as pressure sensors, flow sensors, and the like. As an example, when it is necessary to detect sound information such as a user's snoring At the time, the detecting unit 110 may include a sound sensor or the like. That is to say, the detecting means included in the detecting unit 110 can be set according to the parameter to be tested.

User identity information for the ventilation therapy device.

The code conversion unit 130 is configured to convert the usage status information detected by the detecting unit 110 into a bar code. The barcode is preferably an international standardized code such as a one-dimensional code, a two-dimensional code, a three-dimensional code, and a composite code. As an example, the one-dimensional code may be a JAN code, an ITF code, or a NW-7 code or the like. The QR code can be a QR (Quick Response) code or a PDF417 code. The 3D code can be a barcode developed by the Japanese company "Content Idea of Asm". The composite code is a combination code of the above codes. Since the amount of data stored by different codes is different, the type of bar code is determined according to the needs of the specific ventilation therapy device 100. For example, a less-functioning ventilation therapy device can convert only the usage status information into a one-dimensional code; a ventilation therapy device having more functions and more detection data can convert the usage status information into a two-dimensional code, a three-dimensional code, or a composite code. Of course, it is also possible to selectively convert to different codes according to the amount of data to be converted. Techniques for converting status information into barcodes are well known in the art and will not be described again herein.

The output unit 150 is for outputting the barcode converted by the transcoding unit 130. The output unit 150 can output a barcode in various forms, for example, in the form of paper.
