Abstract
A system and method for locating a medical device within a body uses wireless technology to transmit the information obtained from the sensors to a mobile device or other computing system. A software application on the mobile device or computing system can be used to display the information, wherein the user can control the display without needing to contact any items that are not sterile.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- placing a paddle unit on a chest of a patient;
- placing at least one surface ECG electrode on the chest of the patient;
- sensing a surface ECG data with the at least one surface ECG electrode;
- transmitting the surface ECG data from the at least one surface ECG electrode to the paddle unit;
- wirelessly transmitting the surface ECG data from the paddle unit to the mobile device;
- displaying an image of the surface ECG data on the mobile device;
- selecting at least a portion of the image of the surface ECG data on the mobile device;
- accepting at least a portion of the image of the surface ECG data on the mobile device;
- inserting a catheter and a stylet into a vasculature of the patient;
- establishing a connection between the stylet to the paddle unit;
- transmitting the internal ECG data from the stylet to the paddle unit;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting the internal ECG data from the paddle unit to the mobile device.
10 more elements
The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of:
- displaying an image of the internal ECG data on the mobile device.
A method comprising:
- placing a unit on a chest of a patient;
- placing at least one ECG pad on the chest of the patient;
- sensing a surface ECG waveform using the at least one ECG pad;
- transmitting the surface ECG waveform from the ECG pad to the unit;
- wirelessly transmitting the surface ECG waveform from the unit to the mobile device;
- displaying an image of the surface ECG waveform on the mobile device;
- selecting a snapshot of the image of the surface ECG waveform on the mobile device;
- accepting the snapshot of the image of the surface ECG waveform on the mobile device;
- inserting a catheter and a stylet into a vasculature of a patient;
- electrically connecting the stylet to the unit.
7 more elements
A method comprising:
- placing a chest unit on a chest of a patient;
- wherein the chest unit is configured to receive a surface ECG waveform data and wirelessly transmit the surface ECG waveform data to a mobile device;
- displaying an image of the surface ECG waveform data on the mobile device;
- selecting a snapshot of the image of the surface ECG waveform data on the mobile device;
- accepting the snapshot of the image of the surface ECG waveform data on the mobile device;
- inserting a catheter and a stylet into a vessel of a patient;
- and
- establishing an electrical connection between the stylet and the chest unit;
- wherein the stylet is configured to transmit an internal ECG waveform data to the chest unit.
