First Claim
Patent Images
1. A ventilation system comprising:
- a main housing;
a gas delivery system in the main housing;
a ventilation control system in the main housing that controls the gas delivery system and monitors one or more of a patient physiological parameter, operational parameters of the ventilation system and user-settable parameters;
a primary display controller that generates a graphical user interface and that receives user inputs through the graphical user interface and delivers commands to the ventilation control system based on the inputs;
a primary display housing removably attached to the main housing;
a primary display in the primary display housing that presents the graphical user interface; and
a system status display incorporated into the main housing that receives status data directly from the ventilation control system and the system status display displaysfirst system status data when the ventilation system is ventilating a patient and receiving power from an external power source and the primary display is attached to the main housing and is displaying the graphical user interface;
second system status data when the ventilation system is ventilating a patient and receiving power from the external power source and the primary display is not attached to the main housing or is not displaying the graphical user interface;
third system status data when the ventilation system is ventilating a patient and receiving power from an internal power source and the primary display is not attached to the main housing or is not displaying the graphical user interface; and
fourth system status data when the ventilation system is not ventilating a patient and is receiving power from the external power source and the primary display is not attached to the main housing or is not displaying the graphical user interface,wherein the first, second, third and fourth system status data are different.
