Abstract:
A positive pressure gas supply system includes a CPAP unit a humidifier support housing with a receiving portion. The receiving portion is bound by a bottom wall with a heater and at least one side wall extending vertically from the bottom wall. A gas feed opening in the at least one side wall is in fluid communication with a gas feed path from the CPAP unit. A refilling module configured to retain a body of water is removably placed within the receiving portion from a location above the receiving portion so that a metallic part of the refilling module contacts the heater when the refilling module is resting on the bottom wall of the receiving portion. In addition, a sealing device is configured to seal off the refilling module in the receiving portion. The sealing device and the refilling module are removable as a unit from the humidifier support housing.

Claim (Index 43):
An apparatus for delivering a flow of pressurized breathable gas to a patient having a sleep-related disorder, the apparatus comprising:\n a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) unit comprising a blower configured to generate the flow of pressurized breathable gas; a support housing integrated directly into the CPAP unit and having a chamber with at least one side wall extending from a bottom wall, the at least one side wall comprising a gas feed opening in fluid communication with an outlet of the CPAP unit and comprising a gas discharge opening separated from the gas feed opening, the bottom wall comprising a horizontally extending heater plate; and a refill module configured to hold a body of water and be received within the chamber, the refill module comprising an air inlet, an air outlet and a horizontally extending bottom with a metallic heat conducting material configured to intimately contact the heater plate when the refill module is received within the chamber, wherein the refill module and the support housing are configured so that insertion of the refill module in the chamber fluidly connects the gas feed opening to the gas discharge opening, wherein the refill module is configured to be locked in place within the chamber, wherein when the refill module is locked within the chamber, a portion of the refill module remains outside the chamber, wherein the refilling module has a top portion a seal, the seal, the air inlet and the air outlet being between the top portion and the horizontally extending bottom, wherein the refill module is configured to be opened by moving the top portion relative to the bottom portion, wherein the chamber is open at one end, wherein the refill module comprises a direction-changing device configured to divert the flow of pressurized breathable gas downward toward the bottom wall of the refill module, and wherein a respiration tube connecting portion is fixed to an external side wall of the support housing and is in fluid communication with the gas discharge opening regardless of whether the refill module is within the chamber.
