Problems solved by technology

But increases the risk of inadvertently changing the settings of the breathing device compared to a dual-device solution that requires the breathing device operator to use a touchscreen and, for example, the device's knob to change the setting of the breathing device
Inadvertent changes to critical respiratory equipment settings may have adverse effects on the continuity of respiratory therapy provided to the patient by the respiratory equipment, or even pose a risk to patient safety

Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 The illustrated respiratory device 1 comprises a display unit 2 with a touch-sensitive screen 3 through which a respiratory device operator can change settings of the respiratory device that affect the operation of the respiratory device, thereby regulating the breathing of a patient connected to the respiratory device. treat. The respiratory device 1 may be a ventilator, anesthesia device or any other respiratory device configured to provide respiratory care by supplying breathing gas to a patient.

[0035] The touch-sensitive screen 3 is a multi-touch screen, which provides the user with the ability to simultaneously use multiple finger movements (hereinafter referred to as "touches") on the screen to send instructions to the respiratory device 1 . The display unit 2 comprises a display control unit 4 for receiving and processing data input by an operator on the touch-sensitive screen 3 and for displaying information on the screen in response to the receivin...

Abstract

The invention relates to a user interface for a breathing apparatus (1). The user interface comprises a contact-sensitive screen (3) which is operable to cause a change in the operation of the breathing apparatus based on touch input from an operator. To this end, the contact-sensitive screen comprises a first touch area (8) through which a breathing apparatus setting can be changed by the touch of the operator, and at least a second touch area (9) at a distance from said first touch area. To avoid unintentional changes of the breathing apparatus setting, the user interface is configured such that the breathing apparatus setting can only be changed by touching said first (8) and second (9) touch areas simultaneously.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a user interface for a respiratory device according to the preamble of claim 1 , a respiratory device according to the preamble of claim 12 and a method for changing settings of a respiratory device according to the preamble of claim 14 . Background technique [0002] Touch sensitive screens or touch screens are often used on respiratory devices such as respirators in order to provide a user interface through which an operator interacts with the respiratory device. When the operator wants to change the settings of the respiratory device related to the operation of the respiratory device, the touch screen is usually only used to select the parameters to be set and sometimes to confirm the new settings of the parameters. However, the act of changing a setting is usually performed by turning a knob, pressing a + / - button, or sliding a slide button, the knob or button being located outside the screen on the respiratory device body....
