Systems and methods for setup of CPAP systems

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for use with a computing device that is configured to control a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) device that is coupled to a first wireless communication transceiver, the CPAP device configured to generate a supply of breathable gas that is delivered to a patient via a patient interface, wherein the breathable gas is output from a flow generator at a pressure level that is above atmospheric pressure, the CPAP device associated with at least one sensor that is configured to measure a physical quantity while the breathable gas is supplied to the patient, the computing device including at least one hardware processor and a second wireless communication transceiver, the stored instructions comprising instructions that are configured to cause the computing device to:

• receive, via a wireless transmission from the first wireless communication transceiver to the second wireless communications transceiver, first sensor data that is based on measured physical quantity of the at least one sensor;
• cause the pressure level supplied by the flow generator to increase from a first pressure level to a second pressure level;
• perform, based on the received first sensor data and while the pressure level is controlled to increase to the second pressure level, a leak determination;
• based on leak detection by the leak determination:
• cause the increase from the first pressure level to the second pressure level to hold at a level at which the leak detection was determined,
• display, to a display device that is coupled to the computing device, a graphical interface that includes instructions for at least a first troubleshooting option to address the leak detection,
• subsequent to output of the first troubleshooting option for display, acquire second sensor data that is based on another instance of the measured physical quantity from the at least one sensor, and
• perform, based on the acquired second sensor data, a subsequent leak determination;
• and
• based on the subsequent leak determination that there is no leak, cause the pressure level increase to resume increasing to the second pressure level.

A computing device for use with a flow generator of a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) system, the computing device comprising:

• a wireless communications transceiver;
• and
• at least one hardware processor that is configured to:
• receive, via the wireless communications transceiver, first sensor data that is based on a measured physical quantity of at least one sensor while breathable gas is supplied by a flow generator, of the CPAP system, to a patient via a patient interface that is configured to engage with at least one airway of the patient,
• cause a pressure level supplied by the flow generator to increase from a first pressure level to a second pressure level;
• perform, based on the received first sensor data and while the pressure level is controlled to increase to the second pressure level, a leak determination in connection with the supplied breathable gas,
• in response to leak detection by the leak determination, cause the increase from the first pressure level to the second pressure level to hold at a level at which the leak detection was determined,
• in response to the leak detection by the leak determination, display, to a display device that is coupled to the at least one hardware processor, a graphical user interface that includes instructions for at least a first troubleshooting option to correct the leak detection,
• subsequent to the graphical user interlace that includes the instructions being output for display, acquire second sensor data that is based on another instance of the measured physical quantity, and
• perform, based on the acquired second sensor data, a subsequent leak determination;
• and
• based on the subsequent leak determination that there is no leak, cause the pressure level increase to resume increasing to the second pressure level.

A method for addressing leaks in a CPAP system, the method comprising:

• generating, via a flow generator of the CPAP system, a supply of breathable gas that is delivered to a patient via a patient interface that is configured to engage with at least one airway of the patient, wherein the breathable gas is output from the flow generator at a pressure level that is above atmospheric pressure;
• executing an application program on a computing device that is separate from the flow generator;
• causing the pressure level supplied by the flow generator to increase from a first pressure level to a second pressure level;
• receiving, via a wireless transmission from the flow generator and at the computing device, first sensor data that is based on measurement of a physical quantity by using at least one sensor;
• performing, based on the received first sensor data and while the pressure level is controlled to increase to the second pressure level, a leak determination for the supply of breathable gas being delivered to the patient;
• determining a leak detection by the leak determination, and subsequent the leak detection:
• displaying, to a display device that is coupled to the computing device, a user interface that includes instructions for at least a first troubleshooting option that is selected to correct the leak detection, wherein the first troubleshooting option is selected based on which type of flow generator and/or the patient interface is determined for the flow generator and/or patient interface, and
• causing, via wireless communication, the flow generator to hold at a pressure level that is based on when the leak determination occurred,
• subsequent to the display of the user interface with the instructions, acquiring second sensor data that is based on another instance of the measured physical quantity by using the at least one sensor;
• performing, based on the received second sensor data, a subsequent leak determination for the supply of breathable gas being delivered to the patient;
• determining, based on the subsequent leak determination that there is no leak;
• and
• causing the pressure level increase to resume increasing to the second pressure level based on the subsequent leak determination that there is no leak.
