More Information
Summary:The present disclosure pertains to a system (10) configured to prevent damage from liquid spills in a humidified pressure support therapy device (50). The system is configured to decouple a humidification chamber (42) in a humidifier from a pressure generator (14) of the pressure support therapy device when a cover (48) of the humidifier is opened. This eliminates and/or reduces the possibility of liquid in an overfilled humidification chamber unintentionally and/ or otherwise entering the pressure generator and damaging sensitive mechanical and/or electrical components. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more of the pressure generator, the humidifier, a subject interface (16), a sensor (18), a decoupler (100), a processor (20), electronic storage (22), a user interface (24), and/or other components.
