摘要：
A method of determining suitability of a humidifier wick of a humidifier for increasing an absolute humidity of a flow of air to be delivered to a patient’s airways by a respiratory therapy device, the humidifier comprising an air inlet configured to receive the flow of air from a pressure device, an air outlet configured to deliver the flow of air to a patient interface from the humidifier chamber with added humidity, the humidifier wick, and a controller configured to receive one more signals and/or generate one or more signals, and the humidifier wick being configured to retain a volume of water. The method comprises: providing a set of input values to the controller, the set of input values being indicative of a condition of the humidifier wick and the set of input values are provided to the controller by at least one of user input, at least one sensor, and a memory device determining, based on the set of input values and a set of reference values, a condition set of the humidifier wick with the controller and generating a signal with the controller based on the determined condition set to indicate a suitability of the humidifier wick for use in the humidifier.
