Ventilation system with system status display including a user interface
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 capable of delivering primary commands to the ventilation control system based on the user 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 displays status data received from the ventilation control system and through which secondary commands may be input directly to the ventilation control system, wherein the secondary commands available for selection vary based at least on attachment of the primary display.

9. A method for controlling a ventilator system comprising:
-
ventilating a patient with a ventilator system comprising a system status display and a primary display removable from a main ventilator housing; controlling the system status display with a ventilation control system, wherein the ventilation control system receives and executes user selected secondary commands from the system status display, wherein the secondary commands offered for selection by the system status display vary based at least on attachment of the primary display; controlling the primary display with a primary display controller, wherein the primary display controller receives and executes user selected primary commands from a graphical user interface of the primary display; and operating the system status display on less power than an amount of power necessary to operate the primary display. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for controlling a ventilator system comprising:
-
controlling a system status display with a ventilation control system, wherein the ventilation control system receives and executes user selected secondary commands from the system status display, wherein the secondary commands offered for selection by the system status display vary based at least on attachment of a primary display; controlling the primary display with a primary display controller, wherein the primary display controller receives and executes user selected primary commands from a graphical user interface of the primary display; and operating a system status display on less power than an amount of power necessary to operate the primary display controller. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A method for displaying ventilation information comprising:
-
ventilating a patient with a ventilation system comprising a system status display and a primary display removable from a main ventilator housing; controlling the system status display with a ventilation control system; controlling the primary display with a primary display controller; determining that the primary display is removed from the main ventilator housing with the ventilation control system; and based on the determining step, activating the system status display that runs on less power than an amount of power necessary to operate the primary display with the ventilation control system.
