To allow a single device to operate according to a large variety of modes, without requiring that the device be modified for each mode, e.g., by adapting ducts, accessories, etc. of the device.SOLUTION: A breathing assistance device includes a gas regulating valve (1300). The gas regulating valve is operated by a linear actuator (1330). The linear actuator may include a movable member that moves an obstruction member between an open position and a closed position. The linear actuator is isolated from a gas flow path through the valve.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】装置のダクト、付属部品などを適合させることなどにより装置をそれぞれのモード用に修正することを必要とせずに、単一の装置が多種多様のモードに従って動作することを可能にすることを目的とする。【解決手段】呼吸補助装置は、気体調節弁（１３００）を備える。気体調節弁は、線形アクチュエータ（１３３０）によって動作させられる。線形アクチュエータは、閉塞部材を開位置と閉位置との間で動かす可動部材を備えることができる。線形アクチュエータは、弁を通る気体流路から隔離される。【選択図】図１２
