Patent ID: 11247010

Abstract:
A ventilator system (10) includes a ventilator source (12), camera (14), database (16) and controller (16). A first plurality of ventilation components in a ventilation circuit (34) are coupled between the ventilator source and a patient. The camera captures images of the ventilation circuit. The database includes multi-view images of a second plurality of ventilation components pre-approved for use with the ventilator source. The controller (16) includes (i) a control module (22), (ii) a component recognition and identification module (24), (iii) a component tracking module (26) configured to track targets and to detect at least one change in tracked targets, and (iv) a ventilation compensation module (28). An operation of the ventilator source (12) is controlled with operating parameters determined as a function of at least (i) a gas composition algorithm, (ii) an output of the component recognition and identification module (24), and (iii) an output of the ventilation compensation module (28) determined as a function of an output of the component tracking module (26).
