Abstract
Technologies (e.g., devices, systems and methods) for sanitizing positive airway pressure (PAP) systems are described. In some embodiments, the technologies include a PAP delivery system comprising a hose and a PAP mask, a positive pressure supply system configured to generate a flow of pressurized air which is delivered to a user through the hose to the PAP mask of the PAP delivery system, a sanitizing system configured to sanitize one or more components of the self-sanitizing PAP system, and a PAP base unit housing, wherein one or more components of the positive pressure supply system and the sanitizing system are disposed at least partially within the PAP base unit housing.
Claims23
A self-sanitizing positive airway pressure (PAP) system, comprising:
- a positive airway pressure (PAP) device configured to generate a flow of pressurized air to be delivered through a PAP hose and a PAP mask;
- a sanitizing system comprising a sanitizing gas generator configured to generate a flow of sanitizing gas;
- a PAP base unit housing, wherein one or more components of the PAP device and the sanitizing gas generator are disposed at least partially within the PAP base unit housing, the PAP base unit housing further including:
- a PAP base connector configured to removably fluidly couple a first hose connector of the PAP hose to the PAP device to provide the flow of pressurized air to the PAP hose;
- and
- a sanitizing gas connector configured to removably fluidly couple the first hose connector of the PAP hose to the sanitizing system to provide the flow of sanitizing gas to the PAP hose.
A self-sanitizing positive airway pressure (PAP) system, comprising:
- a PAP base unit housing;
- a positive airway pressure (PAP) device disposed within the PAP base unit housing, the PAP device configured to generate a flow of pressurized air to be delivered via a PAP base connector configured to removably connect a first hose connector of a PAP hose to a PAP mask coupled to a second hose connector of the PAP hose;
- a sanitizing system disposed within the PAP base unit housing, the sanitizing system comprising a sanitizing gas generator configured to generate a flow of sanitizing gas to be delivered via a sanitizing gas connector configured to removably connect the first hose connector of the PAP hose;
- wherein the PAP base connector and the sanitizing gas connector are disposed on an exterior surface of the PAP base unit housing and spaced apart from each other.
