A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11833299B2) discloses a novel therapeutic gas delivery system that includes a control module, a sample block, and a display. The system is designed to control the flow of therapeutic gas, such as nitric oxide, mixed with a breathing gas for delivery to a patient through a nebulizer device. The control module stores information related to the nebulizer mode, start information, and duration of operation. It can pause the evaluation of the gas mixture when the nebulizer is in use based on user input, resume evaluation after a set duration, and display the calculated dose of nitric oxide. The system aims to optimize the delivery of therapeutic gases to patients efficiently and accurately.

Furthermore, the patent describes a feature where the system can test the gas mixture for various concentrations when not in nebulizer mode, but pause testing during nebulizer operation based on user-defined duration. The control module can provide alerts for dosage thresholds, enter nebulizer mode upon user input, and display calculated delivery concentrations. The system also includes a sensor to measure flow rates and a sample block to analyze gas concentrations. With user-friendly features like touch screen input and customizable settings, this therapeutic gas delivery system offers a comprehensive solution for precise and effective delivery of therapeutic gases to patients. The patent highlights the innovative approach to optimizing gas mixture delivery and monitoring in medical settings, potentially improving patient outcomes and treatment efficacy.
