Abstract

The display device may include a display unit and a support unit. The display unit is used for displaying patient-end parameter information. The support unit comprises an adapter cover and a rotating unit connected onto the adapter cover. The display unit is fastened and connected onto the adapter cover in a way that allows rotation relative to the rotating unit. The monitor comprises: a master control unit and the display unit, where the master control unit is connected to a patient end via at least one cable, and the display unit is detachably connected to the master control unit. With the implementation of the monitor, the display device thereof, and the monitoring system, the display unit rotates and switches while the position of the connecting cable of the master control unit remains unchanged; corresponding marker display areas and alarm light display areas are lit up after rotating and switching in order to taking into consideration habits of a user.

Dependent claims

A display device for a patient monitor, the display device comprising:

a display unit and a support unit, the display unit being used for displaying patient parameter information, and the display unit being connected to the support unit in a way that allows rotation relative to the support unit;
wherein the display unit can be switched between landscape and portrait orientations by rotation;
wherein the display unit further comprises a marker display area, and when the display unit is switched between the landscape and the portrait orientations, the marker display area is switched into a transverse mode to keep displaying in a horizontal direction;
and
wherein the display unit comprises a first group of marker display areas and a second group of marker display areas, the first group of marker display areas being disposed along at least one short edge of the display unit, and the second group of marker display areas being disposed along at least one long edge of the display unit, and when the display unit is switched to the portrait orientation, the first group of marker display areas are made active while the second group of marker display areas are made inactive;
and
wherein the display unit is connected by a cable to a master control unit,
wherein the master control unit is connected to a parameter sensor through at least one cable,
wherein the master control unit is separate from, and does not rotate with, the display unit, and
wherein the master control unit is fixedly provided with one or more additional cables including any of a power cable, a card cage cable, a USB connecting cable, or a network signal cable to be connected to the parameter sensor.
