Sensor Kit for Respiratory Therapy, Circuit Board Design
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260108689A1 on April 23, 2026, for a sensor kit system designed for respiratory therapy (RPT) devices. The application (filed September 18, 2023, Application No. 19112884) names seven inventors: Michael James DENT, Andrew William GILLETT, Dmitri Anatolievich DOUDKINE, David CREUSOT, Andrew CHAN, Ting Lee TEH, and Evan Latimer HOLLINS. The invention comprises a circuit board with mounted sensors configured to be coupled to a patient interface, capable of sensing parameters both within the plenum chamber and in the external atmosphere.
About this source
USPTO classification A61M covers devices that introduce or withdraw fluids from the body: infusion pumps, catheters, syringes, inhalers, wound drainage, dialysis equipment, and fluid-handling microfluidics. Every newly published application in A61M lands in this feed, around 205 a month. Applications publish 18 months after filing. Watch this if you compete in infusion therapy or drug delivery, file freedom-to-operate analyses for medical device startups, scout acquisition targets in cardiovascular or respiratory devices, or track hospital R&D arms that are quietly patenting clinical innovations.
What changed
USPTO published patent application US20260108689A1 disclosing a system for sensing parameters in respiratory therapy devices. The invention comprises a circuit board with at least one mounted sensor, configured to be coupled to a patient interface of an RPT system. The sensor is designed to detect parameters within the plenum chamber of the patient interface and atmospheric parameters outside the plenum chamber.
For parties in the medical device manufacturing sector, this patent application represents prior art that could inform or potentially block similar sensor kit designs for respiratory therapy devices. Competitors developing circuit board-based sensing solutions for CPAP, BiPAP, or similar respiratory therapy equipment should review this filing for potential design-around considerations or licensing opportunities.

Abstract
A system for sensing parameters associated with a respiratory therapy (“RPT”) system may comprise a circuit board; and at least one sensor mounted on the circuit board. The circuit board may be configured to be coupled to a patient interface of the RPT system, such that the at least one sensor is configured to sense a parameter within a plenum chamber of the patient interface and a parameter of an atmosphere outside of the plenum chamber.
