METHODS AND DEVICES WITH LEAK DETECTION

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2022009409

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide automated apparatus and methods for leak detection and measurement in a respiratory treatment apparatus for treating upper respiratory conditions such as OSA.SOLUTION: The detection apparatus may automatically determine and score different types of leak events during a treatment session, including, for example, continuous mouth leak events and valve-like mouth leak events. The detection methodologies may be implemented as a data analysis of a specific-purpose computer or a detection device that measures a respiratory airflow or a respiratory treatment apparatus that provides a respiratory treatment regime based on the detected leak. In some embodiments, the leak detector may determine and report a leak severity index. Such an index may combine data that quantifies different types of leak events.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
