Systems And Methods For Providing Respiratory Therapy
Patent No. EP2806926 (titled "Systems And Methods For Providing Respiratory Therapy") was filed by Vapotherm on Jan 23, 2013. The application was issued on Dec 25, 2019.
Patent Summary
A respiratory therapy system comprises a nebulizer, an adaptor, and a nasal cannula. The nebulizer generates an aerosolized medicament discharged through a nebulizer outlet port. The adaptor includes an adaptor body, a nebulizer coupling port configured to couple to the nebulizer outlet port, and an adaptor outlet port. The nasal cannula delivers breathing gas from a source to a patient via at least one nasal prong. An attachment device, positioned adjacent the nasal prong, secures the adaptor outlet port adjacent the nasal prong outlet. This configuration allows the aerosolized medicament to be drawn into the breathing gas slipstream as it exits the cannula, with the attachment device positioning the adaptor outlet port directly below the patient's nare during use.
