Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005044356A1] The invention relates to a device for supplying a respiratory gas, in particular a CPAP device and also to an air-conduction structure that is provided in said device. The aim of the invention is to provide a device of this type for supplying a respiratory gas, which is characterised by a silent operation and which has advantages in terms of the assembly method and of hygiene over conventional devices of this type. This is achieved by a device for supplying a respiratory gas, comprising a transport unit for transporting said gas at a pressure level that exceeds the ambient pressure, a housing for receiving the transport device and an air-conduction structure for guiding the respiratory gas from the transport device to an outlet region, said air-conduction device being configured by a moulded foam part comprising respiratory-gas channels. This enables the provision of a respiratory-gas supply device, in particular a CPAP device, in which the air-conduction device is formed by a sound absorbing, interchangeable foam element, or a foam element that can be washed separately.
