Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 A prior art patient monitor is described illustrating the complexity and cost associated with receiving physiological data from a large number of individual individual sensors. Such as figure 1 As shown, patient monitor 10 includes a patient monitor controller 12 that operates a patient monitor display 14 and receives user input through an input device 16 . The input device can be one of a number of different types, including a keyboard, a touchpad, or a touchscreen integrated into the display 14 . Input device 16 enables a user to adjust various operating parameters of patient monitor 10 and also to control display 14 .

[0020] Patient monitor 10 includes a plurality of input ports 18, each configured to receive a particular type of sensor. Typically, the input port 18 is marked on the patient monitor with the type of sensor that should be connected to the input port. exist figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the input port 18 is shown connected to a...

Abstract

A method and system that enables multiple sensor types to be connected to a universal input port of a patient monitor. The system includes a data acquisition module that identifies a type of sensor connected to each of the plurality of input ports. Once the sensor type is identified, the data acquisition module configures the amplification and input circuits to properly receive and amplify the output signal from the sensor within the patient monitor. The properly amplified output signal from the sensor is provided to the controller of the patient monitor along with the sensor identifier. In this way, the patient monitor is able to identify the type of sensor connected to each input port and correctly display the conditioned output signal from the sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of patient monitoring. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to patient monitors that include one or more multifunction input ports that allow more than one type of sensor to be connected to each of these input ports. Background technique [0002] Patient monitoring systems can integrate a wide range of modal medical procedures that can be used to check a patient's condition and health. Patient monitoring systems are capable of receiving many different types of physiological data acquired from sensors connected to the patient. Patient monitors can be configured to receive and analyze many different types of physiological data from the patient, such as pulse oximetry (SpO 2 ), cardiac output (CO), temperature, invasive blood pressure, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), oxygen saturation, and other physiological parameters. The type of sensor used with a patient depends on the patient'...
