NON-INVASIVE VENTILATION VIA AN AIR ENTRAINMENT PATIENT INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18214587 titled 'NON-INVASIVE VENTILATION VIA AN AIR ENTRAINMENT PATIENT INTERFACE
Simplified Explanation
The system described in the patent application is a non-invasive ventilation patient interface that includes a headgear element and a detachable ventilation interface. The interface includes a conduit with an entrainment opening and a nasal opening, as well as a pressure sensing element near the nasal opening. Orifices near the entrainment opening expel a jet of gas, which adheres to surfaces via the Coanda effect, entraining ambient air into the entrainment opening and delivering the gas and ambient air through the nasal opening.
- The system includes a headgear element and a detachable non-invasive ventilation patient interface.
- The interface has a conduit with an entrainment opening and a nasal opening, as well as a pressure sensing element.
- Orifices near the entrainment opening expel a jet of gas, which adheres to surfaces via the Coanda effect.
- The jet of gas entrains ambient air into the entrainment opening and delivers it through the nasal opening.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in medical settings for patients requiring non-invasive ventilation, such as those with respiratory conditions like sleep apnea or COPD.
Problems Solved
This technology provides a more comfortable and effective non-invasive ventilation interface for patients, potentially improving compliance with treatment regimens.
Benefits
The system offers a non-invasive ventilation solution that is easy to use, comfortable for patients, and efficient in delivering the necessary gas and ambient air mixture.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be marketed to medical equipment manufacturers, hospitals, and home healthcare providers as a cutting-edge solution for non-invasive ventilation therapy.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional non-invasive ventilation interfaces that may not have the same features for entraining ambient air and delivering gas efficiently.

Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment provides a system having a non-invasive ventilation patient interface. In one example, the system includes a headgear element and a non-invasive ventilation patient interface detachably coupled to the headgear element. The non-invasive ventilation patient interface includes a conduit having an entrainment opening and a nasal opening disposed along a conduit axis. A pressure sensing element is provided proximate to the nasal opening. One or more orifices proximate to the entrainment opening are configured to expel a jet of gas. One or more surfaces have a first end and a second end, with the first end being proximate to the one or more orifices and directing a flow of the jet of gas expelled from the one or more orifices, the second end being closer to the nasal opening than the first end. In an operational state, the jet of gas adheres to the one or more surfaces via the Coanda effect, thereby entraining ambient air into the entrainment opening to deliver the jet of gas and the ambient air through the nasal opening of the conduit.
