摘要:
A method and apparatus for determining a quantity of water in a humidifier reservoir (5000) is disclosed. The method comprises delivering a flow of air (AF) to the humidifier and taking a measurement set of the flow of air via sensor(s) (5202). The quantity of water is then determined based on the measurement of the flow. The water level (WL) can then be determined independently of any sensors in the reservoir itself (5000) for use with disposable reservoirs. The water level (WL) is determined based on the output of sensors (5202) positioned upstream and downstream of the reservoir.
