The present invention relates to a respiratory pressure therapy device (4000) comprising an integrated humidifier (5000). The integrated humidifier comprises a blower (4142) for producing a flow of air at positive pressure and a water reservoir (5110) configured to contain a volume of water for humidifying a pressurised flow of air. The water reservoir comprises a base portion (5112), a lid portion (5114) comprising an inlet (5118) and an outlet (5122), and a compliant portion (5116) constructed from an elastomeric material. The base portion and the lid portion are pivotably engaged and configurable in an open configuration and a closed configuration while pivotably engaged, and the compliant portion acts as a seal between the base portion and the lid portion when the reservoir is in the closed configuration. The water reservoir further comprises a water reservoir dock (5130) comprising a cavity (5160) configured to retain a portion of the reservoir therein. The water reservoir lid includes a protrusion (5142) and the water reservoir dock includes a recess (5144), the protrusion being adapted to removably engage with the recess when the water reservoir is inserted into the water reservoir dock to secure the water reservoir relative to the water reservoir dock. |
