Patent attributes
Apparatus for providing air at positive pressure for respiratory therapy to a patient includes a pneumatic block including at least first and second blower sub-assemblies and a common chassis assembly configured to support each of the at least first and second blower sub-assemblies. The at least first and second blower sub-assemblies are different structurally from one another in at least one aspect. Each of the at least first and second blower sub-assemblies includes a corresponding blower configured to produce a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure. The common chassis assembly and the first blower sub-assembly form a first configuration of the pneumatic block, and the common chassis assembly and the second blower sub-assembly form a second configuration of the pneumatic block. The air flow path and the chamber arrangement of the first configuration is different than the air flow path and the chamber arrangement of the second configuration.
