Abstract
A flow generator for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a processor coupled with operation sensors and a user interface. The processor is programmed to generate at least one of time-based or event-based messages relating to at least one of flow generator operation, flow generator service, flow generator use, patient health, peripheral devices and services, patient treatment, and reminders. Time-based messages are generated at predetermined time intervals based on either time of use or elapsed time. The event-based messages are generated based on signals from the operation sensors. The user interface is configured to deliver the messages to at least one of a display, a flow generator service provider, the patient and a physician. By this system, operation of the flow generator is facilitated and enhanced.

26. A method for operating a flow generator that generates a supply of pressurized air to be provided at an outlet to a patient for treatment, the flow generator including a processor coupled with operation sensors and a user interface, the method comprising:
-
generating either time-based or event-based messages relating to at least one of flow generator operation, flow generator service, flow generator use, patient health, peripheral devices and services, and patient treatment, the time-based messages being generated at predetermined time intervals based on either time of use or elapsed time, and the event-based messages being generated based on signals from the operation sensors; and delivering the messages via the user interface to at least one of a display, a flow generator service provider, the patient and a physician.

28. A flow generator configured to provide a supply of pressurized breathable gas to a patient, the flow generator comprising:
-
a processor coupled with operation sensors, a clock and a user interface, wherein the processor is programmed to generate a time-based message, wherein the time-based message is generated at a predetermined time interval based on either time of use or elapsed time, and the flow generator is configured to deliver the time-based message to the patient by the adjustment of delivery of breathable gas to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
