1. A breathable pressurized gas delivery apparatus comprising:
- a flow generator that generates a supply of pressurized gas, said flow generator including a programmable controller; and
one or more breathable pressurized gas delivery apparatus components having a remotely-readable identification tag containing identification data, the identification data including operational data for operating the breathable pressurized gas delivery apparatus,wherein said controller includes a data input set to receive data derived from an identification tag reader which reads said identification data, and is further set to adjust at least one therapy related parameter of the flow generator to coordinate with the at least one breathable pressurized gas delivery component in response to said received data.

Abstract
Components of a CPAP or other patient ventilation apparatus have a remotely-readable identification tag encoded with component identification. data. The flow generator controller is programmed to receive data derived from the identification tag from a tag reader, and to adapt functions of the flow controller to coordinate with the component.
