GAS DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SANITISING GAS FLOW PATH WITHIN GAS DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medical equipment. Gas delivery system for delivering a flow of breathing gas to a patient includes a blower assembly structured to generate the flow of breathing gas. Blower assembly includes a gas flow path including an inlet manifold, an assembly structured to adjust a pressure and/or flow rate of the flow of breathing gas, and an outlet manifold structured to be coupled to a patient circuit. Gas delivery system additionally includes a light system structured to generate sanitising light and deliver the sanitising light to one or more internal surfaces of at least one of the inlet manifold, the assembly and the outlet manifold for sanitising the one or more internal surfaces.;EFFECT: there is thus room for improvement in field gas delivery systems, and in particular to the methods used to sterilize such gas delivery systems.;12 cl, 15 dwg
