1. A respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) device for pressurising breathable air to treat a respiratory disorder in a patient, the RPT device comprising:
- a pressure generator configured to pressurise breathable air;
a chassis supporting the pressure generator and the chassis comprising;
an RPT device inlet configured to receive breathable air from externally of the RPT device to be pressurised by the pressure generator;
an RPT device outlet configured to be connected to an air circuit to direct breathable air pressurised by the pressure generator to the patient; and
a dock configured to receive either a water reservoir or a muffler and the dock comprising;
a dock outlet positioned on the dock and configured to direct breathable air pressurised by the pressure generator into the water reservoir or the muffler; and
a dock inlet positioned on the dock and configured to receive breathable air pressurised by the pressure generator from the water reservoir or the muffler; and
an external housing supported on the chassis, the pressure generator being enclosed by the external housing, and the external housing forming an opening such that the water reservoir or the muffler is insertable into and removable from the dock through the opening.

18. A respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) device for pressurising breathable air to treat a respiratory disorder in a patient, the RPT device comprising:
-
a water reservoir configured to hold a volume of water to be used for humidification of the breathable air, the water reservoir including a water reservoir inlet and a water reservoir outlet; a blower configured to pressurise the breathable air; a chassis supporting the blower and the chassis comprising; an RPT device inlet configured to receive breathable air from externally of the RPT device to be pressurised by the blower; an RPT device outlet configured to be connected to an air circuit to direct breathable air pressurised by the blower to the patient; and a dock configured to receive the water reservoir; a dock outlet configured to direct breathable air pressurised by the blower into the water reservoir via the water reservoir inlet when the water reservoir is received in the dock; and a dock inlet configured to receive breathable air pressurised by the blower from the water reservoir via the water reservoir outlet when the water reservoir is received in the dock; and at least one panel supported on the chassis, enclosing the blower, and forming an opening such that the water reservoir is insertable into and removable from the dock through the opening. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
