Breathing apparatus having a display with user selectable background
First Claim
1. A breathing apparatus system comprising:
- a breathing apparatus having a display, a memory unit, and a processing unit;
wherein the processing unit is in operative communication with the display and the memory unit, and the processing unit provides on at least a portion of the display a background that is stored on the memory unit; and
the processing unit provides a plurality of operational modes of the breathing apparatus, wherein the operational modes includea first operational mode in which the processing unit causes the display to display a first number of operational parameters with a background color, wherein the first number of operational parameters comprise a plurality of metric elements; and
a second operational mode in which the background comprises a background image that includes an animated portion moving as a background object, and the processing unit causes the display to display in the second operational mode a second number of operational parameters and the background image that is displayed behind the second number of operational parameters, wherein the second number of operational parameters comprise a plurality of metric elements and the second number is less than the first number.

16. A method of internally controlling a display of a breathing apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
-
displaying a background on at least a portion of the display, wherein the background comprises a background image, wherein the breathing apparatus is a ventilator or an anesthesia machine, and wherein the background image includes an animated image portion moving as a background object, wherein the animated image portion illustrates an ongoing ventilation; and switching between a plurality of operational modes of the breathing apparatus, wherein the plurality of operational modes include a first operational mode in which a first number of operational parameters is displayed on the display without the background image, and a second operational mode in which a second number of operational parameters are displayed on the display and the background image is displayed in the background on the display behind the second number of operational parameters, wherein the first number of operational parameters comprise a plurality of metric elements and the second number of operational parameters comprise a plurality of metric elements, and wherein the second number is less than the first number.

17. A breathing apparatus system comprising:
-
a breathing apparatus having a display; a memory unit configured to store an image; and a processing unit in operative communication with the display and the memory unit, wherein the processing unit is configured to provide a plurality of operational modes of the breathing apparatus, wherein the operational modes include a first operational mode in which the processing unit operates the display to display a clinical expert view that includes a first number of operational parameters on the display with a background color, and a second operational mode in which the processing unit operates the display to display a family view that includes the image and a second number of operational parameters on the display, wherein the second number is less than the first number, and the image is displayed as a background image on the display behind the second number of operational parameters, and the image comprises a stress reducing animation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
