Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to medical devices and/or apparatus. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a humidifying apparatus for a ventilating apparatus.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Humidifiers are used in conjunction with mechanical ventilating apparatus, anaesthesia machines, home-based ventilation devices, high-flow oxygen therapy devices and other related equipment to warm and moisten ventilating gas delivered to users. Typically, standalone humidifiers lack integration and communication capabilities with other devices, leading to increased complexity and inefficiencies in the management of patient care. The separate controls and monitoring systems of these humidifiers make it challenging for healthcare professionals to synchronize and optimize humidification settings based on the specific ventilation or therapy mode selected on the ventilating apparatus. As a result, the users (patients) may experience suboptimal humidification conditions, potentially affecting their comfort and treatment outcomes.
[0004] There is, therefore, a requirement in the art for a means to provide and regulate moisture content in a ventilating gas that is dynamic, and does not require manual intervention.
