Abstract
A patient monitoring system and method for visual alarm indication on parameter active cables are provided herein. The patient monitoring system includes a plurality of sensors and an active cable coupled to the plurality of sensors to acquire data from the plurality of sensors. The patient monitoring system also includes a host patient monitor coupled to the active cable, wherein the active cable includes a visual alarm that is to indicate an alarm condition using the plurality of sensors.
Claims17
A patient monitoring system, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors;
- an active cable coupled to the plurality of sensors to acquire physiological data from the plurality of sensors;
- and
- a host patient monitor coupled to the active cable, wherein the active cable includes a visual alarm configured to indicate an alarm condition in response to the physiological data acquired by the plurality of sensors being out of a normal range.
A method for visual alarm indication on parameter active cables, comprising:
- acquiring, at the active cable, physiological sensor data from a plurality of sensors;
- processing the physiological sensor data at the active cable;
- sending the physiological sensor data to a host patient monitor;
- and
- indicating, on the active cable, an alarm condition in response to the physiological sensor data from the plurality of sensors being out of a normal range.
A parameter active cable, comprising:
- a plurality of integrated electronics configured to process physiological data from a plurality of sensors;
- a visible alarm indicator configured to indicate an alarm condition in response to the physiological data from the plurality of sensors being out of a normal range;
- and
- a communication interface configured to communicate with a host patient monitor.
