| 20120027047 | IR THERMOMETRY PROBE COVER - A protective cover for an insertion probe of a medical instrument. The cover contains a flexible tubular body that compliments the probe geometry and a radially disposed flange that surrounds the proximal end of the body. A series of snap-on fasteners removably connect the cover to the instrument. A camming surface is located on the outer face of the flange which coacts with a cam follower that is movably mounted upon the instrument to flex the cover sufficiently to open the fastener and release the cover from the instrument and move the cover axially toward the distal end of the tip. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20110228811 | NON-CONTACT MEDICAL THERMOMETER WITH STRAY RADIATION SHIELDING - A non-contact infrared (IR) thermometer for measuring temperature from the surface of an object includes an IR radiation sensor attached to a heating element and a thermal shield having an interior surface positioned within the sensor's field of view that has a high emissivity. An electronic circuit controlling the heating element maintains the temperatures of the sensor and shield substantially close to an anticipated surface temperature of the object. The IR radiation sensor is further thermally coupled to a reference temperature sensor. An optical system positioned in front of the shield focuses thermal radiation from the object on the surface of the sensor, while the shield prevents stray radiation from reaching the sensor. Signals from the IR and reference sensors are used to calculate the object's surface temperature. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20090275845 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE NON-INVASIVE DETECTION OF BLOOD FLOW AND ASSOCIATED PARAMETERS IN PARTICULAR ARTERIAL WAVEFORM AND BLOOD PRESSURE - A method and a device for the non-invasive determination of blood flow and associated parameters in arteries, in particular the arterial waveform and the blood pressure. According to said method, a sensor having at least one deformable contact portion is placed on a tissue surface, essentially over an artery, and the contact portion is subjected to a temporally variable and defined external force, F(t). The deformation of the contact portion by the blood flow inside the artery in response to said force F(t) is measured. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090216134 | SPHYGMOMANOMETER - The invention relates to a sphygmomanometer for measuring blood pressure over a long period of time, especially over 24 hours, with a cuff which can be placed against an extremity of the body, a measuring device for determining blood pressure data, a control device for activating automatically the measuring device at specified time intervals, as well as a memory device for storing the blood pressure data determined in different measurements. Pursuant to the invention, the sphygmomanometer is novel owing to the fact that it is constructed as a portable instrument, for which the measuring device, a control device and the memory are part of the body of the device, which is fastened at the cuff. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090198141 | SPHYGMOMANOMETER WITH DETACHABLE DATA TRANSMISSION DEVICE - A data transmission unit for a blood pressure meter. The data transmission unit includes an external transmission interface for the transmission of data to external data processing equipment and/or from external data processing equipment. The unit also includes an internal connection interface operable to detachably connect the data transmission unit to the blood pressure meter. As such, the data transmission unit forms an exchangeable interface converter for the blood pressure meter that converts a first data and/or transmission format fitting of the blood pressure meter into a second data and/or transmission format fitting of the external data processing device. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090143687 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANAGING, ARCHIVING AND/OR EVALUATING BLOOD PRESSURE DATA - A device and method for managing, archiving and/or evaluating blood pressure data of a plurality of patients. The blood pressure data is acquired using blood pressure monitors. The blood pressure data for each patient is separately stored in an individual storage space in a central data server. A network connection including at least one network terminal is used to input the data into the individual storage space and read out the data from the individual storage space. A control device controls access to the storage spaces by comparing a transmitted access code including a unique device identification code for the blood pressure monitor of the patient corresponding to the individual storage space with a unique access code corresponding to the individual storage space. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090131808 | SPHYGMOMANOMETER AND CHIP CARD THEREFOR - A sphygmomanometer and a chip card for use therein. The sphygmomanometer includes a measuring device for determining blood pressure data and a control device. The control device has a chip card reader operable to read an insertable control chip card. The chip card includes data which is read by the chip card reader. A control function of the sphygmomanometer is carried out as a result of the data being read by the chip card reader. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090099464 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING CARDIOVASCULAR PARAMETERS AND DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD - A method, device and computer program product used to determine at least one cardiovascular parameter P | 04-16-2009 |
