Abstract:
A nitric oxide generator generates nitric oxide from a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen such as air treated by a pulsating electrical discharge. The desired concentration of nitric oxide is obtained by controlling at least one of a frequency of the pulsating electrical discharge and duration of each electrical discharge pulse.

Claim (Index 12):
An apparatus for generating nitric oxide, the apparatus comprising:\n a pair of electrodes in communication with the inspiratory line; a filter arranged downstream of the electrodes; one or more sensors in communication with a controller; the controller in further communication with the electrodes, the one or more sensors, and an airway flowmeter, and configured to supply an electrical signal to the electrodes that controls timing and sparking characteristics of the electrodes; and wherein the sparking characteristics of the electrodes determine a concentration of nitric oxide generated by the electrodes, and wherein the apparatus is to be integrated into a respiratory system having a breathing apparatus, an inspiratory line, and the airway flowmeter arranged on the inspiratory line.
