20100298718 | Multiple Mode, Portable Patient Monitoring System - The specification discloses a number of embodiments directed to patient monitoring systems. The system determines a physiological parameter of a patient and includes an input device for receiving a plurality of physical inputs from a user, such as finger taps, and communicating to a memory interval data indicative of the frequency at which the plurality of physical inputs are received from the user within a time period and a processor in data communication with said memory wherein said processor determines at least one physiological parameter of a patient based upon said interval data. | 11-25-2010 |
20100306992 | Ventilator for Rapid Response to Respiratory Disease Conditions - The present specification discloses a ventilator system that can be manufactured quickly with minimal skill requirements and rapidly deployed in response to epidemic respiratory disease conditions. In one embodiment, the ventilator, having a minimal number of controls, is used to give ventilation or mechanical breathing to a patient suffering ARDS. The mechanical ventilation is based on pressure control and has variable pressure, breathing rate, and oxygenation. Preferably, the ventilator is rapidly deployable, easy and intuitive to operate, and capable of sustaining at least 75% of epidemic respiratory distress victims who require assisted ventilation until resuming normal breathing. | 12-09-2010 |
20120126984 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFER OF PRIMARY ALARM NOTIFICATION ON PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEMS - The present application discloses methods and systems for transferring primary alarm notification on patient monitoring systems from a bedside monitor to one or more secondary devices which may operate on a less than fully reliable network. The bedside monitor includes an attached physiological parameter measurement device which detects when a specific physiological parameter measures outside a predetermined range. The bedside monitor then directs the secondary device(s) to annunciate its alarm. Primary alarming responsibility reverts from the secondary device(s) back to the bedside monitor whenever communication between the two is lost or when acknowledgement of the alarm condition by the secondary device is not relayed back to the bedside monitor within a predetermined amount of time. | 05-24-2012 |
20120232416 | METHODS & SYSTEMS TO DETERMINE MULTI-PARAMETER MANAGED ALARM HIERARCHY DURING PATIENT MONITORING - The present specification discloses systems and methods of patient monitoring in which multiple sensors are used to detect physiological parameters and the data from those sensors are correlated to determine if an alarm should, or should not, be issued, thereby resulting in more precise alarms and fewer false alarms. Electrocardiogram readings can be combined with invasive blood pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, and/or pulse oximetry measurements to provide a more accurate picture of pulse activity and patient respiration. In addition, the monitoring system can also use an accelerometer or heart valve auscultation to further improve accuracy. | 09-13-2012 |
20130015654 | Air-Tight Push-In and Pull-Out Connector System with Positive LatchingAANM Gilham; Jeffrey JayAACI SammamishAAST WAAACO USAAGP Gilham; Jeffrey Jay Sammamish WA USAANM Wekell; William OrenAACI Maple ValleyAAST WAAACO USAAGP Wekell; William Oren Maple Valley WA US - The present specification discloses an adapter for coupling a blood pressure cuff to a blood pressure manifold. In one embodiment, the adapter includes an elastomeric hose having a first end and a second end and a first lumen and a second lumen. The first and second lumens define a first air pathway and a second air pathway respectively. A first end connector is integrally formed with the first end and the second end connector is integrally formed with the second end. The first end connector includes a first seal and a second seal and the second end connector includes a third seal and a fourth seal. The first end of the first lumen terminates proximate to the first seal, the second end of the first lumen terminates proximate to the third seal, the first end of the second lumen terminates proximate to the second seal, and the second end of the second lumen terminates proximate to the fourth seal. The seals are comprised of O-rings, compressible wipers, or any other equally compressible, sealing material. Optionally, for a neonate adapter, the third and fourth seals at the second end connector are replaced by an integrated single lumen tube with a neonate cuff attached at its end. | 01-17-2013 |
20140142963 | System and Method for Providing Patient Care - A system for providing patient care includes acquiring, consolidating, distributing, storing and displaying medical data using cell phone platforms and non-proprietary hardware and software modules. The system includes sensing devices, acquisition devices, network appliances, cloud computing and storage, and presentation devices. Sensing devices are connected to acquisition devices via wired or wireless connections. Sensing acquisition devices can be used in a caregiver facility and in an outpatient environment and can connect to the cloud via cell phone (3G/4G) networks. Clinical data is sent in encrypted messages having only the header encoded using a standard scripting language, such as Lua. Presentation devices include computers, tablets, cell phones, and wall-mounted displays and can be located anywhere, enabling greater accessibility of patient data by caregivers. | 05-22-2014 |
20140203937 | Multi-Display Bedside Monitoring System - The present specification discloses systems and methods for patient monitoring using a multitude of display regions, at least two of which have the capability to simultaneously display real time patient waveforms and vital statistics as well as provide display for local and remote software applications. In one example, a primary display shows real time patient waveforms and vital statistics while a customizable secondary display shows trends, cumulative data, laboratory and radiology reports, protocols, and similar clinical information. Additionally, the secondary display can launch local and remote applications such as entertainment software, Internet and email programs, patient education software, and video conferencing applications. The dual display allows caregivers to simultaneously view real time patient vitals and aggregated data or therapy protocols, thereby increasing hospital personnel efficiency and improving treatment, while not compromising the display of critical alarms or other data. | 07-24-2014 |
20150035679 | System and Method for Transfer of Primary Alarm Notification on Patient Monitoring Systems - The present application discloses methods and systems for transferring primary alarm notification on patient monitoring systems from a bedside monitor to one or more secondary devices which may operate on a less than fully reliable network. The bedside monitor includes an attached physiological parameter measurement device which detects when a specific physiological parameter measures outside a predetermined range. The bedside monitor then directs the secondary device(s) to annunciate its alarm.
