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 52):
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; a water container with 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, wherein the water container includes a tub to contain water and a tub lid pivotably moveable relative to the tub, the first and second air openings being located on the tub lid, and the water container includes a tub seal between the tub and the tub lid, wherein the tub lid has a sloped surface to direct the airflow downward towards the bottom portion of the water container; a base with a heater, the base being configured to receive the water container; a humidifier lid pivotably attached to the base, the humidifier lid having a locking mechanism to secure the water container; a seal between the humidifier lid and the tub lid; 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 when the water container is received in the base; 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 a substantially rectangular sealing surface of the peripheral seal when the water container is dropped into the base to create a substantially sealed air path between the peripheral seal and the second air opening without the need 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 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, 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, and wherein the seal comprises a channel which mates with a rim on the humidifier lid.
