A respiratory conduit apparatus that conducts a breathable gas for respiratory therapy may include electrical circuit components to assist with therapy. In an example, a delivery conduit for connection with a patient interface and a respiratory therapy device may include a cuff having a microcontroller unit. The cuff may be configured with circuit components for accessory identification, gas characteristic detection for therapy control, heating and communications. In some versions, the delivery conduit may include a controller in a circuit board assembly located at an end of the delivery conduit. The printed circuit board may be configured to control and power the components of the cuff, as well as communicate with a respiratory therapy device.
A respiratory apparatus comprising:
A control method for a respiratory apparatus, the respiratory apparatus including a respiratory therapy device to generate a flow of breathable gas, a delivery conduit to conduct the generated flow of breathable gas from the respiratory therapy device to a patient interface, and a set of wires to couple a first controller with a second controller, the set of wires extending along the delivery conduit and separating the first controller and the second controller, the control method comprising:
