Patent ID: 8015972

Claim:
A system for controlling a PAP (Positive Airway Pressure) machine comprising: a) a PAP machine; b) at least one output tube coupled to said PAP machine; c) a device for controlling a fluid output of said PAP machine comprising: i) at least one fluid input coupled in series with said PAP machine via said output tube of said PAP machine; ii) at least one fluid output; iii) at least one flow meter disposed in a housing and coupled to said fluid input and to said fluid output; iv) at least one electro-mechanical valve, disposed in said housing and coupled to said fluid input and to said fluid output; v) at least one cellular communication module for providing remote cellular communication for said device wherein said at least one cellular communication module has a memory for storing a program for controlling at least one processor, and wherein said at least one flow meter reads a flow rate of fluid flowing through the device wherein said reading is forwarded to said at least one processor, and wherein said at least one processor compares said reading to a set of stored values in said memory; vi) at least one processor for controlling said at least one flow meter, said at least one electromechanical valve, and said at least one cellular communication module, wherein said at least one processor receives instructions from a remote control device via said cellular communication module wherein said instructions are for adjusting said electro-mechanical valve, to control an amount of fluid dispersed by said at least one fluid output; vii) at least one additional cellular communication module, wherein said at least one additional cellular communication module is in communication with said at least one processor; viii) a motherboard comprising a first side and a second side, wherein said first side has said processor, said at least one cellular communication module, and said at least one additional cellular communication module disposed thereon, and wherein said second side has said at least one flow meter, and said at least one electro-mechanical valve disposed thereon; and d) at least one switch for converting from non-autoadjust to autoadjust settings.
