Abstract
A monitor includes a measurement line segment adapted to be coupled between a patient interface and a positive airway pressure device. The measurement line segment defines a gas flow path. A sensor includes two ports in communication with the gas flow path through the measurement line segment, and a recording device is adapted to record data collected by the sensor.
