Controller device, system and method for improved patient respitory care

A humidity controller device for generating and controlling a high humidity vapor flow to a patient comprising:

• a humidity adapter for engaging and connecting to a humidity vapor generating device, said humidity adapter having two open ends and a channel there though to facilitate a flow of vapor from the humidity vapor generating device into and out of said humidity adapter through the open ends;
• a flow control valve connected to said humidity adapter for controlling a flow of vapor from the humidity vapor generating device through said humidity adapter, said flow control valve being a one-way control valve and having two open ends and a channel there through, said flow control valve being attached and aligned with said humidity adapter such that the humidity adapter channel and the flow control valve channel form a continuous channel, said flow control valve having the capability for manual control of vapor flow through said valve;
• and
• a high humidity adapter for generating an increase in humidity in the humidity vapor flowing from the humidity vapor generating device, said high humidity adapter having an inlet opening for engaging and connecting to said flow control valve, said high humidity adapter also having an outlet opening to enable high humidity vapor to a patient, said high humidity adapter having a channel formed between the inlet and outlet openings, said high humidity adapter also capable of increasing humidity in the vapor generated by the humidity vapor generating device resulting in a high humidity vapor that provides more effective relief to a patient.

A system for generating and transmitting humidity vapor mist to a patient comprising:

• a humidity vapor generating device for creating an initial humidity vapor mist;
• a humidity vapor mist channel through which humidity vapor flows from said high humidity vapor generating device to a patient, said channel comprising a corrugated tubing and having first end and a second end, said first end being attached to said humidity vapor generating device;
• and
• a patient mask for engaging a patient to facilitate contact of the high humidity vapor with the patient, said mask being attached to the second end of said corrugated tubing.

A method for generating and transferring a vapor mist created by a humidifier device to a patient comprising:

• connecting an output of a humidifier device to one end of a tubing device;
• connecting an other end of the tubing device to a patient device;
• attaching the patient device to the patient;
• generating a vapor mist from a humidifier device;
• and
• transferring a flow of generated vapor mist from the humidifier device through the tubing device to the patient via the patient device.
