The first and second housings may be decoupled allowing the composition to be applied from the dispensing end of the internal passageway. Also disclosed is a method of filling the reconstitution device comprising placing, within the internal passageway, the first plunger, the first component, the third plunger, the second component, the second plunger and then the plunger rod.
Patent NZ-630627-A (NZ)
Title: Control of pressure for breathing comfort
Inventor: FLEMING DAVID JAMES
IPC: A61B5/087
Filed: 2013-05-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a respiratory treatment apparatus that generates an indication of inspiration or expiration based on a measure of motor current of a flow generator. In an example, first and second current signals are derived from the measurement. The first derived current signal may be a long term measure or average of current and the second derived current signal may be a short term measure or average of current. A processor determines an indication of inspiration or expiration as a function of the first and second derived current signals. The function of the first derived current signal and the second derived current signal may be a comparison of the derived current signals. The derived signals may be determined by filtering. The indication of inspiration or expiration may serve as a trigger or cycle control for changing treatment pressure in synchrony with patient respiration without measured signals from pressure, flow or speed sensors.
