Abstract:
A respiratory assistance apparatus includes a flow generator and a humidifier. The humidifier includes a humidification chamber. The humidification chamber comprises a water tub that is configured to receive a volume of water. A lid is hingedly coupled to the water tub for enclosing a volume contained within the water tub.

Claim (Index 24):
A respiratory assistance device configured to provide a heated and humidified gases stream, comprising:\n a device gases inlet configured to receive a supply of gases; a blower configured to generate a pressurised gases stream from the supply of gases; a humidifier configured to heat and humidify the pressurised gases stream; a device gases outlet for the heated and humidified gases stream; and a flow path for the gases stream through the respiratory device from the device gases inlet through the blower unit and humidification unit to the device gases outlet, and wherein the humidifier is configured to receive and retain a removable humidification chamber for humidifying gases, comprising:\n a water tub that is configured to receive a volume of water, wherein the water tub comprises a base and a perimeter wall, \n a heater plate, wherein the heater plate is exposed through an aperture in the base surface of the water tub, and wherein the base of the water tub overlaps a portion of the heater plate such that a portion of the underside of the base surface is thermally insulated from the heater plate; \n a lid configured to engage the water tub for enclosing the water tub to define the interior volume of the humidification chamber, \n one or more clips for securing the lid in the closed position, \n a gases inlet for receiving a flow of gases into the interior volume of the humidification chamber, and \n a gases outlet through which a humidified flow of gases may exit the interior volume of the humidification chamber.
