Abstract
Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for updating alarm limits applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject. The devices, systems, and methods obtain a measurement of ambient pressure at a defined time point (‘t1’) and compare the measurement of ambient pressure at the defined time point (‘t1’) to a reference ambient pressure. If a difference between the measured ambient pressure values at t1 and the reference ambient pressure is at or above a predetermined threshold, the alarm limits are updated to correspond with the ambient pressure at t1 or a user is alerted to update the alarm limits.
Claims20
A method for updating alarm limits applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject, the method comprising:
- obtaining a measurement of ambient pressure at a defined time point (‘t1’);
- automatically comparing the measurement of ambient pressure to a reference ambient pressure;
- and
- updating the alarm limits to correspond with the ambient pressure at t1 or alerting a user to update the alarm limits in response to a difference between the measured ambient pressure at t1 and the reference ambient pressure being at or above a predetermined threshold, wherein the alarm limits include lower and upper alarm limit values and are applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject, and wherein the one or more medical parameters are affected by a change in ambient pressure.
A method for updating alarm limits applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject, the method comprising:
- obtaining a measurement of a rate of change of ambient pressure during the monitoring of the one or more medical parameters;
- comparing the rate of change of ambient pressure to a predefined threshold;
- and
- updating the alarm limits or alerting a user to update the alarm limits in response to the rate of change of ambient pressure being at or above the predefined threshold.
A device for updating alarm limits applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject, the device comprising a medical device comprising a processor configured to:
- receive a signal indicative of a change and/or a rate of change of ambient pressure;
- compare the change and/or the rate of change to one or more predetermined threshold values, and
- update the alarm limits or alert a user to update the alarm limits in response to the change and/or the rate of change of ambient pressure is at or above the one or more predetermined threshold values, wherein the alarm limits are applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of the subject, and wherein the one or more medical parameters vary with ambient pressure.
A system for updating alarm limits applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject, the system comprising:
- medical device including a processor configured to:
- receive a signal indicative of a change and/or a rate of change of ambient pressure;
- compare the change and/or the rate of change to one or more predetermined threshold values;
- and
- update the alarm limits or alert a user to update the alarm limits when the change and/or the rate of change of ambient pressure is at or above the one or more predetermined threshold values, wherein the alarm limits include lower and upper alarm limit values and are applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject;
- and
- a sensor configured to measure the one or more medical parameters, wherein the one or more medical parameters vary with ambient pressure.
