CONCENTRIC BREATHING CIRCUIT WITH BOOST ZONE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024609 titled 'CONCENTRIC BREATHING CIRCUIT WITH BOOST ZONE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patient breathing circuit with a boost-heated extension. The circuit includes an outer conduit connected to a patient interface and a humidifier, and an inner conduit positioned within the outer conduit. The inner conduit has a first lumen within its interior and a second lumen between its exterior and the interior of the outer conduit. A first heater wire is coupled to the inner conduit. The boost-heated expiratory extension extends from the outer conduit and is connectable to an expiratory port of a ventilator. The extension includes a second heater wire or a metallic post for heating gases flowing through it.

  • The patient breathing circuit includes an outer conduit, an inner conduit, and a boost-heated expiratory extension.
  • The inner conduit is positioned within the outer conduit and has a first lumen within its interior.
  • The outer conduit is connected to a patient interface and a humidifier.
  • The boost-heated expiratory extension extends from the outer conduit and is connectable to a ventilator's expiratory port.
  • The boost-heated expiratory extension includes a second heater wire or a metallic post for heating gases flowing through it.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical devices and systems for respiratory therapy
  • Ventilators and breathing circuits used in hospitals and healthcare facilities
  • Home-based respiratory therapy equipment

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures the delivery of warm and humidified gases to the patient during respiratory therapy
  • Prevents condensation and moisture buildup within the breathing circuit
  • Enhances patient comfort and reduces the risk of complications associated with dry or cold air

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved patient comfort and compliance during respiratory therapy
  • Reduced risk of complications such as airway irritation and infection
  • Enhanced efficiency of respiratory therapy by maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels


Original Abstract Submitted

patient breathing circuits with a boost-heated extension. in an example, a patient breathing circuit includes an outer conduit having a first end connectable to a patient interface and a second end connectable to a humidifier; an inner conduit positioned within the first conduit, wherein a first lumen is defined within an interior of the inner conduit and a second lumen is defined between an exterior of the inner conduit and an interior of the outer conduit; a first heater wire coupled to the inner conduit; and a boost-heated expiratory extension having a first end extending from the outer conduit and a second end connectable to an expiratory port of a ventilator, wherein the boost-heated expiratory extension includes at least one of a second heater wire or a metallic post for heating gases flowing through the boost-heated expiratory extension.
