Abstract

A mounting unit for use with a portable blower device and a system of a simple portable blower device that is interchangeable with a plurality of mounting devices. The portable blower device has a gas flow generator for providing a flow of gas to a mask for delivery of gas flow to an airway of a patient.

Claims

1. A mounting unit for use with a gas delivery system comprising:

a housing having a cavity configured to receive a gas delivery system, wherein the housing has an inlet port, outlet port, and at least one attachment mechanism located on the outer portion of the housing.

2. The mounting unit of claim 1, wherein the housing is formed of a supple material.

3. The mounting unit of claim 1, further including a power source integrated at least partially within the housing.

4. The mounting unit of claim 1, further including an acoustic dampening pathway.

5. The mounting unit of claim 1, wherein the attachment mechanism is a clip.

6. The mounting unit of claim 1, further including a controller unit contained in the housing.

7. A mounting unit for use with a gas delivery system comprising:

a housing having a cavity configured to receive a gas delivery system, wherein the housing has an inlet port, outlet port, and power supply contained within at least a portion of the housing.

8. The mounting unit of claim 7, wherein the housing is formed of a supple material.

9. The mounting unit of claim 7, further including an attachment integrated into the outer portion of the housing.

10. The mounting unit of claim 7, further including an acoustic dampening pathway contained in the housing and configured to adapt to an intake of the gas delivery system.

11. The mounting unit of claim 9, wherein the attachment mechanism is a handle.

12. The mounting unit of claim 7, further including a controller unit contained in the housing.

13. The mounting of claim 7, wherein the housing encloses a majority of the gas delivery system.

14. The mounting of claim 7, wherein the power supply is a removable battery.

15. A detachable gas flow generator system comprising:

A first unit comprising a compressor that pressurizes gas, the compressor including an impellor and a motor, wherein the first unit has an inlet port and outlet for expelling compressed air;

and wherein the first unit may be received and mountable to at least one second unit comprised of the following;

a mask, a pouch, or docking station, wherein the second unit has a power source configured to power the first unit.

16. The detachable gas flow generator system of claim 15, wherein the second unit has an acoustic dampening means.

17. The detachable gas flow generator system of claim 15, wherein the first unit has an orientation sensor.

18. The detachable gas flow generator system of claim 15, wherein the second unit contains an attachment means.

19. The detachable gas flow generator system of claim 15, further including at least two second units.

20. The detachable gas flow generator system of claim 15, further including three second units.
