Abstract
vent system for use during respiratory therapy with a flow of pressurized gas provides a continuous vent flow of gas. The vent system includes a vent housing (3401) having an outer wall (3402); an inner wall (3410), the inner wall defining an inlet for the flow of gas; and a base positioned between the outer wall (3402) and the inner wall (3410), the base having at least one first orifice (3407). The vent housing (3401) comprises a shaft (3419) extending from the base to receive the therapy flow of gas and at least one second orifice (3404) passing through the shaft (3419). A membrane (3430) is positioned adjacent to the base, wherein the pressurized volume is in fluid communication with atmosphere through the at least one first orifice and the at least one second orifice throughout a therapeutic pressure range. The at least one second orifice are oriented such that the vent flow passing through the at least one first orifice and the at least one second orifice intersects outside of the vent housing. The membrane (3430) is configured such that an increase in pressure within the pressurized volume causes the membrane (3430) to restrict a first vent flow through the at least one first orifice (3407) throughout the therapeutic pressure range, and wherein restriction of the first vent flow through the at least one first orifice (3407)causes an increase in a second vent flow through the at least one second orifice (3404) such that the vent flow through the at least one first orifice (3407) and the at least one second orifice (3404) is approximately constant throughout the therapeutic pressure range.

1. A vent system for use with a patient interface during respiratory therapy of a patient with a therapy flow of gas pressurized above ambient pressure, the vent system providing a vent flow of gas to discharge gas exhaled by the patient from a pressurized volume, the vent flow being continuous during the respiratory therapy, the vent system comprising: a vent housing comprising a base having at least one first orifice extending through the base to allow gas to be discharged to atmosphere from the pressurized volume; at least one second orifice to allow gas to be discharged to atmosphere from the pressurized volume; and a membrane positioned adjacent to the base, wherein the pressurized volume is in fluid communication with atmosphere through the at least one first orifice and the at least one second orifice throughout a therapeutic pressure range, wherein the membrane is configured such that an increase in pressure within the pressurized volume causes the membrane to restrict a first vent flow through the at least one first orifice throughout the therapeutic pressure range, and wherein restriction of the first vent flow through the at least one first orifice causes an increase in a second vent flow through the at least one second orifice such that the vent flow through the at least one first orifice and the at least one second orifice is approximately constant throughout the therapeutic pressure range, wherein the vent housing comprises an outer wall and an inner wall, the inner wall defining an inlet for the therapy flow of gas, and wherein the vent housing further comprises a shaft extending from the base to receive the therapy flow of gas, the at least one first orifice passing through the base, and the at least one second orifice passing through the shaft, and wherein the at least one first orifice and P1023NZ
