Patent number: 10234325Abstract: The specification describes anesthesia systems with an integrated, extendable clinical center and clinician/anesthesia office that accommodates for physical separation of clinical and clerical functions. The disclosed anesthesia systems allow for a portion of the system to be brought closer to the patient such that clinical controls can be accessed while tending to the patient airway, without compromising office space available to the clinician or crowding the patient area.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Spacelabs Healthcare LLCInventors: Ronald Tobia, Andrew Levi, Lee Dalgety, Cory Boudreau, Gary Choncholas, Bruce Dammann

Publication number: 20170209658Abstract: The anesthesia systems have an integrated, extendable clinical center and clinician/anesthesia office that accommodates for a physical separation of clinical and clerical functions. The anesthesia system includes an alarm reversion system which enables a predefined alarm limit to be set and then to be automatically reverted back to an alarm limit existing just before the predefined alarm limit was set.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2017Publication date: July 27, 2017Inventors: Ronald Tobia, Andrew Levi, Gary Choncholas, Bruce Dammann, Erik J. Bluemner, Ben Schoepke, Patrick Flanagan, Lee Dalgety, Cory Boudreau, Sheldon Roberts, Dorian Lust

Patent number: 9149404Abstract: An anesthesia workstation includes a sliding track system attached to the front of the anesthesia workstation for the mounting of one or more displays. The displays are horizontally slidable along the front of the anesthesia workstation along the sliding track. In addition, the sliding track system includes pivot points which enable outward pivoting of the displays up to 90 degrees. Sliding and pivoting of the displays is possible both independently and simultaneously. The sliding track system allows the anesthetist to slide and pivot the displays across the front of the workstation along the length of the track to the most preferable viewing position. Additional storage space is positioned within the anesthesia workstation behind the displays and becomes exposed and accessible when the displays are manipulated via the sliding track system.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2014Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Spacelabs Healthcare LLCInventors: Brian E. Drapes, Zeng Xi, Ronald L. Tobia, Bruce Dammann, Cory Boudreau

Publication number: 20070003072Abstract: The present invention is an ambient noise canceling physiological acoustic monitoring system and method. The system and method utilizes a plurality of microphones to collect input data including ambient noise signals, bed frame noise signals and patient respiratory and cardiac data signals. The system and method cancels the ambient noise and bed frame noise signals, and calculates a filtered audio output signal with an algorithm that utilizes ECG rhythm patterns and impedance pneumography. The set of input data and the filtered audio output signal are then displayed in real time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2005Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Russell Ward, Parry Heide, Bruce Dammann
