Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical instrument detection, and in particular to a remote automatic detection method for an electrocardiogram monitor. Background Art

[0002] At present, ECG monitors are widely used in hospitals at all levels. The accuracy of ECG monitor measurements is related to the patient's life safety and the reliability of monitoring. However, the calibration of ECG monitors, especially ECG monitors in field environments, is labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to implement. It is difficult to carry out effective regular testing, and the quality of a large number of ECG monitors in use cannot be guaranteed.

[0003] In addition, since the ECG monitors provided by some suppliers do not have an interface for remote signal synchronization transmission, and the interfaces of different equipment manufacturers are not unified, the measurement results of the ECG monitor cannot be obtained directly from the device interface.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study a remote automatic detection method for an electrocardiogram monitor to solve one or more of the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, a remote automatic detection method for an electrocardiogram monitor is provided, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0006] Sending remote instructions to the ECG automatic detection unit via a remote server;

[0007] The ECG automatic detection unit generates standard electrophysiological signals including square waves, sine waves and simulated sinus rhythm waves according to remote instructions and sends them to the ECG monitor;

[0008] The ECG monitor loads standard electrophysiological signals through ECG leads and displays electrophysiological information on the screen;

[0009] The image information recognition unit acquires and recognizes the electrophysiological information and sends it to the remote server, and the remote server obtains the detection result based on the comparison between the electrophysiological information and the standard signal information.

[0010] According to another aspect of the present invention, the automatic ECG detection unit comprises:

[0016] According to yet another aspect of the present invention, the standard signal generating module includes a sine wave module, a square wave module and a sinus rhythm module.

[0017] According to yet another aspect of the present invention, the image information recognition unit includes a camera.

[0018] According to another aspect of the present invention, the ECG monitor outputs a measurement value to an ECG automatic detection unit based on the loaded standard electrophysiological signal. The ECG automatic detection unit obtains another detection result based on the comparison between the measurement value and the standard reference value and sends it to a remote server.

[0019] According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a final detection result is determined based on the two obtained detection results.

[0020] According to another aspect of the present invention, when the measurement value of the ECG monitor cannot be sent to the ECG automatic detection unit, other detection results are used as the final detection results.

[0021] The present invention can achieve one or more of the following technical effects:

[0022] 1. The test data / results can be automatically transmitted to the remote server. The professional calibration personnel of the hospital can receive the relevant test data / results from the remote server and give (and review) the final relevant test results, which solves the problem of regular calibration of ECG monitors in the field environment, reduces labor costs and is highly efficient.

[0024] 3. Two test results can be obtained simultaneously based on the image information recognition unit and the ECG automatic detection unit, which is more conducive to improving the accuracy of the test results and adapting to more scenarios. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
