The present invention relates to a method of displaying color coded indications of physiological parameters on a patient monitor, the method comprising noninvasively determining at least one measured value of a first physiological parameter and at least one measured valued of a second physiological parameter, associating the first physiological parameter with a first color, associating the second physiological parameter with a second color that is different from the first color, displaying on a patient monitor a first indication with the first color, the first indication being indicative of the at least one measured value of the first physiological parameter, and displaying on a patient monitor a second indication with the second color, the second indication being indicative of the at least one measured value of the second physiological parameter.
摘要:
A universal/upgrading pulse oximeter (UPO) (210) comprises a portable unit (610) and a docking station (660, 910) together providing three-instruments-in-one functionality for measuring oxygen saturation and related physiological parameters. The portable unit functions as a handheld pulse oximeter. The combination of the docked portable and the docking station functions as a stand-alone, high-performance pulse oximeter. The portable-docking station combination is also connectable to, and universally compatible with, pulse oximeters from various manufacturers through use of a waveform generator (320, 930). The UPO provides a universal sensor to pulse oximeter interface and a pulse oximeter measurement capability that upgrades the performance of conventional instruments by increasing low perfusion performance and motion artifact immunity, for example. Universal compatibility combined with portability allows the UPO to be transported along with patients transferred between an ambulance and a hospital ER, or between various hospital sites, providing continuous patient monitoring in addition to plug-compatibility and functional upgrading for multiparameter patient monitoring systems. The image on the portable display (264, 740) is rotatable, either manually when undocked or as a function of orientation (950), In one embodiment, the docking station (660) has a web server and network interface (1410) that allows UPO data to be downloaded and viewed as web pages over a local area network (1420) or the Internet.

An electrochemical test sensor and method for forming the same for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample includes a base, a reagent layer, a lid, and a meter contact area that has a plurality of contacts. The meter contacts have a first testing contact, a second testing contact, and at least four coding contacts. At least a first electrical connection forms between the first testing contact and a first one of the plurality of coding contacts. At least a second electrical connection forms between the second testing contact and a second one of the plurality of coding contacts. A plurality of electrical connections forms or are severed between the plurality of adjacent coding contacts. At least one of the connections in the meter contact area is terminated or formed to encode calibration information on the test sensor.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for recording measurement data that are generated by a physiological sensor as a function of physiological parameters of a living being, in which method the data generated by the physiological sensor are delivered to an external evaluation unit, which stores these data in a memory. In order to simplify the storage of the data when using various sensors, it is proposed that each physiological sensor is assigned its own memory and that data originating from the physiological sensor are stored exclusively in the memory assigned to the physiological sensor. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method.

摘要:
A movable member 13, whose physical change occurs corresponding to respiration flow rate, is disposed in the pipe 11. The pipe 11 and a holder section are structured to be capable of being detachable. When staring respiration with the mouth touching to the pipe 11, the movable member 13 bends corresponding to respiration flow rate. Image data of the movable member 13 is obtained through the pipe 11 by a CCD area sensor disposed outside the pipe 11 and the bending amount is detected. The respiration rate is calculated based on the flow rate data corresponding to the bending amount of the movable member 13 in use.
摘要:
A signal conditioning device is disclosed that interfaces a variety of sensor devices, such as guide wire-mounted pressure sensors, to physiology monitors. The signal conditioning device includes a processor for controlling sensor excitation and signal conditioning circuitry within the signal conditioning device. The processor also supplies signals to an output stage on the signal conditioning device representative of processed sensor signals received by a sensor interface of the signal conditioning device. Power for the signal conditioning device processor is supplied by an excitation signal received from a physiology monitor that drives the output stage. In addition, a temperature compensating current source provides an adjustment current to at least one of a pair of resistive sensor elements to compensate for differences between temperature change upon the pair of resistive sensor elements, thereby facilitating nullifying temperature effects upon the resistive sensor elements.
