Abstract
The disclosure describes a novel approach for displaying information on a ventilator system. The disclosure describes a novel respiratory system including a removable primary display and system status display. Further, the disclosure describes a novel method for displaying ventilator information and a novel method for controlling a ventilator system.
Claims20
A ventilation system comprising:
- a main housing;
- a gas delivery system in the main housing;
- a ventilation control system in the main housing that controls the gas delivery system and monitors one or more of a patient physiological parameter, operational parameters of the ventilation system and user-settable parameters;
- a primary display controller that generates a graphical user interface and that receives user inputs through the graphical user interface and delivers commands to the ventilation control system based on the inputs;
- a primary display housing removably attached to the main housing;
- a primary display in the primary display housing that presents the graphical user interface;
- and
- a system status display incorporated into the main housing that receives status data directly from the ventilation control system and displays the status data, and
- wherein when the ventilation system is ventilating a patient, the ventilation control system causes the system status display to display a first set of status data when the primary display housing is attached and a second set of status data different from the first set of status data when the primary display housing is removed.

A ventilation system comprising:
- a main housing;
- a gas delivery system in the main housing;
- a ventilation control system in the main housing that controls the gas delivery system and monitors one or more of a patient physiological parameter, operational parameters of the ventilation system and user-settable parameters;
- a primary display controller that generates a graphical user interface and that receives user inputs through the graphical user interface and delivers commands to the ventilation control system based on the inputs;
- a primary display housing removably attached to the main housing;
- a primary display in the primary display housing that presents the graphical user interface;
- and
- a system status display incorporated into the main housing that receives status data directly from the ventilation control system and displays the status data,
- wherein the primary display controller is in the main housing and is placed in a low-power mode when the primary display housing is removed.

- and
- a system status display incorporated into the main housing that receives status data directly from the ventilation control system and the system status display displays
- first system status data when the ventilation system is ventilating a patient and receiving power from an external power source and the primary display is attached to the main housing and is displaying the graphical user interface;
- second system status data when the ventilation system is ventilating a patient and receiving power from the external power source and the primary display is not attached to the main housing or is not displaying the graphical user interface;
- third system status data when the ventilation system is ventilating a patient and receiving power from an internal power source and the primary display is not attached to the main housing or is not displaying the graphical user interface;
- fourth system status data when the ventilation system is not ventilating a patient and is receiving power from the external power source and the primary display is not attached to the main housing or is not displaying the graphical user interface;
- and
- fifth system status data when the ventilation system is not ventilating a patient and is receiving power from the internal power source, wherein the fifth system status data are only displayed in response to a user command input via an interface element on the main housing, and
- wherein the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth system status data are different.
