Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medical devices and, in particular, to a breathing system. BACKGROUND For patients who require the use of respiratory aids, providing a stable and reliable supply of breathing gas is very beneficial. However, as the breathing system is a complex system that requires multiple components to work together, and there are many suppliers providing related components, mixing products from different suppliers may cause incompatibility, which results in the breathing system unable to function properly and even posing a risk to the safety of the lives of the patients. This background information is provided to reveal information believed by the applicant to be of possible relevance to the present disclosure. No admission is necessarily intended, nor should be construed, that any of the preceding information constitutes prior art against the present disclosure.
