Abstract
An oscillating positive expiratory pressure system including an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, an adapter coupled to the device, and a control module coupled to the adapter. The control module provides real time information about the use of the device, and provides feedback and storage of the information to improve the use thereof.
Claims20
An oscillating positive expiratory pressure system comprising:
- an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device comprising an inhalation port and a user interface port;
- a mouthpiece;
- an adapter coupled to and between the mouthpiece and the user interface port of the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, wherein the adapter defines a flow channel;
- and
- a control module coupled to the adapter and in communication with the flow channel, the control module comprising:
- a housing cantilevered over a top of the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, wherein a longitudinal axis of the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device extends through the housing, wherein the longitudinal axis is orthogonal to the flow channel;
- a pressure and/or flow sensor disposed in the housing and configured to determine the pressure and/or flow in the flow channel;
- a printed circuit board disposed in the housing and operably connected to the pressure and/or flow sensor;
- a battery disposed in the housing and operably connected to the printed circuit board;
- and
- a visual display coupled to the housing and operably connected to the printed circuit board, wherein the visual display is configured to provide feedback to a user.
8 more elements
A feedback system for use with an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device having a port and a mouthpiece, the feedback system comprising:
- an adapter configured to be coupled to and between the mouthpiece and the port of the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, wherein the adapter comprises a flow channel;
- and
- a control module coupled to the adapter and in communication with the flow channel, the control module comprising:
- a housing spaced above the flow channel and cantilevered rearwardly from the adapter, wherein a longitudinal axis of the oscillating positive expiratory pressure device is configured to extend through the housing during use, wherein the longitudinal axis is orthogonal to the flow channel;
- a pressure and/or flow sensor disposed in the housing and configured to determine the pressure and/or flow in the flow channel;
- a printed circuit board disposed in the housing and operably connected to the pressure and/or flow sensor;
- a battery disposed in the housing and operably connected to the printed circuit board;
- and
- a visual display coupled to the housing and operably connected to the printed circuit board, wherein the visual display is configured to provide feedback to a user.
