Sleep Apnea Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure Machine with Advanced Diagnostics and Self-Cleaning Capabilities

A new Continuous/Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure device (C/BiPAP) is operable which includes both a device with a bi-directional mode of operation in a housing and a user mask to deliver air and oxygen flows and direct exhaled air to a control device. A control system receives inputs for oxygen, carbon monoxide, heart rate and air flow, both inhaled and exhale pressure and varies the input of air and oxygen and adjust the negative pressure in response to those readings. The novel features of the device including self-cleaning of the mask when it is placed in the within the housing, the inclusion of a lithium battery for back-up and for use outdoors, and wireless capabilities in the control device. The self cleaning regime includes a water storage compartment, a water heater, and a tube running to the self-cleaning compartment.
