Abstract:
1. A CPAP system comprising: a flow generator configured to deliver a flow of breathable gas at a pressure of 3-20 cmH a patient interface structured to interface with at least one airway of a patient; an air delivery conduit configured to interconnect the flow generator and the patient interface to thereby communicate the breathable gas from the flow generator to the patient interface; and a packaging arrangement including at least one storage facilitating member to allow storage of the air delivery conduit, wherein the at least one storage facilitating member is formed as part of the air delivery conduit, wherein the air delivery conduit includes a first section, a second section, a collar that seals breathable gas within the air delivery conduit for delivery from the flow generator to the patient, and a first zipper and a second zipper, the first zipper structured to mate a first side of the first and second sections together and the second zipper structured to mate a second, opposing side of the first and second sections together to thereby couple the first and second sections together, the first and second zippers coupled to each other by a connector structure that structurally supports the air delivery conduit when the first and second sections are mated together, the first and second zippers being movable to allow the first and second sections to be separated for storage and coupled for establishing an elongated air flow passage.
