1. A charging and data transfer method for use in a pressure support system adapted to provide a regimen of respiratory therapy to a patient, comprising:

  • establishing a near-field wireless coupling interface between a pressure generating device base unit of the pressure support system and a wireless peripheral device of the pressure support system, wherein the pressure generating device base unit and the wireless peripheral device are structured to wirelessly communicate with one another over a wireless communication channel separate and distinct from the near-field wireless coupling interface according to a predetermined common protocol, wherein the predetermined common protocol requires the pressure generating device base unit and the wireless peripheral device to be paired with one another by exchanging pairing information according to the predetermined common protocol before the pressure generating device base unit and the wireless peripheral device wirelessly communicate with one another on an ongoing basis over the wireless communication channel;

    transferring energy from the pressure generating device base unit to the wireless peripheral device over the near-field wireless coupling interface and using the transferred energy in the wireless peripheral device to charge an energy storage device of the wireless peripheral device; and

    transferring the pairing information between the pressure generating device base unit and the wireless peripheral device over the near-field wireless coupling interface.
