FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: system and method contain: one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules. The computer program modules comprise: a data acquisition module configured to receive usage information relating to the respiratory therapy device. Information on usage taken from the respiratory therapy device represents the therapeutic use of the respiratory therapy device. Information on usage taken from the respiratory therapy device further represents an index relating to the effectiveness of therapy provided by the respiratory therapy device. Information on usage taken from the respiratory therapy device further represents the index of respiratory failure. An analysis module, configured to determine information related to the effectiveness of therapy provided based on the accepted usage information. The operator interface module, configured to receive the first selection of unlocking based on the information related to the effectiveness of therapy, while the respiratory therapy device operates in the first mode of therapy. The first selection of unlocking indicates that the second mode of therapy for the respiratory therapy device should be unlocked. The second mode of therapy is not available for use in the respiratory therapy device until the first selection of unlocking is received. The device configuration module is made, such that in response to reception of the first unlocking selection by the operator interface module, the device configuration module activates the second mode of therapy for the respiratory therapy device. The device configuration module is further configured to deactivate the second mode of therapy after the predetermined trial period is over. The unlocked second mode of therapy includes one or both of the multi-level pressure and/or automatic titration modes. The device configuration module is further configured such that, in response to reception of the first unlocking selection, the device configuration module instructs the respiratory therapy device to activate the selectable acceptance field. Selection of the selectable acceptance field by the user indicates the acceptance of a second mode of therapy, and the activation of the second mode of therapy for the respiratory therapy device additionally occurs in response to user selection of the selectable acceptance field.
EFFECT: system improvement.
