Abstract:
A CPAP device for delivering pressurized, humidified breathable gas for a patient includes a flow generator configured to pressurize a flow of breathable gas. The flow generator includes an air outlet and a removable water container configured to humidify the pressurized breathable gas received from the flow generator. The water container includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The CPAP device further includes a first elastomeric face seal configured to sealingly abut against a substantially flat portion of the water container surrounding the water container air inlet, the first elastomeric face seal being located at an intermediate position between the flow generator air outlet and the water container air inlet when the water container is placed into position to pneumatically communicate with the flow generator. In addition, the CPAP device includes a second elastomeric face seal, a portion of which is configured to sealingly abut against a substantially flat external surface portion of the water container surrounding the water container air outlet.

Claim (Index 31):
A breathable gas supply apparatus for treatment of respiratory disorders comprising:\n a flow generator with an air inlet on a rear wall, the air inlet providing a supply of ambient air to a blower of the flow generator, the flow generator being configured to generate a supply of pressurized air; a water container to receive pressurized air from the flow generator, the water container having a first air opening, a second air opening, a top portion, a side surface having the second air opening therein and a bottom portion, said bottom portion having a heat conducting surface; a base with a heater, the base being configured to receive the water container; a lid pivotably attached to the base via a hinged connection, the lid being pivotable between an open position and a closed position; a catch for the lid, the catch securing the water container in the base when the lid is in the closed position, the catch providing an audible\u201cclick\u201d sound when the lid is moved to the closed position; a seal positioned between and engaged with both the lid and the top portion of the water container when the lid is pivoted to the closed position and secured by the catch, the seal engaging with a horizontal surface of the top portion of the water container; an outlet pipe for connection with an air delivery tube in use; a first gas flow port aligned with and in a facing arrangement with the first air opening; a second gas flow port in a facing arrangement with the second air opening; and a peripheral seal between the second gas flow port and the second air opening, the second air opening being surrounded by a substantially planar and substantially rectangular sealing surface that aligns with the peripheral seal when the water container is received in the base to create a substantially sealed air path between the peripheral seal and the second air opening, without requiring a user to establish tubular interconnection between the base and the water container, wherein the water container and the base include complementary configurations that facilitate alignment of the water container with respect to the base to ensure alignment between the first air opening and the first gas flow port, wherein when the lid is closed and secured by the catch, downwards pressure is maintained on the water container via the seal to maintain good heat-transfer contact between the bottom portion of the water container and the heater of the base, wherein the water container is removable from the base and then refillable with water without requiring disengagement of the air delivery tube from the outlet pipe, and wherein the first air opening, the second air opening, the first gas flow port and the second gas flow port are part of a flow path between the flow generator and the outlet pipe.
