Abstract: According to various embodiments, methods and systems are provided for configuring a medical device connected to a network based on an identification. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving an identification, retrieving configuration parameters from a network based at least in part upon the identification, and selecting one or more configuration parameters based at least in part upon the identification. In various embodiments, a system is provided that includes a medical device configured to communicate over a network, wherein the medical device may receive information from the network and the monitor is configured to select one or more configuration parameters based at least in part upon the information received from the network.

Abstract: According to embodiments, systems and methods are provided for determining the location of a medical device. A system may include a plurality of wireless communication devices configured to receive signals from a medical device and a location server configured to receive information from the plurality of wireless communication devices and determine the location of the device within a specified range. A method of operation may include receiving a plurality of signals corresponding to a medical device from a plurality of wireless communication devices and determining the location of the medical device from the plurality of signals. A sensor and monitor configured to transmit location information to one or more wireless communication devices are also provided.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system is provided that includes a sensor configured to monitor a physiological parameter of the patient. The sensor is further configured to communicate with a portable electronic device configured to communicate over a wireless network. A method of operation of a sensor is provided that includes receiving data from a sensor configured to sense a physiological parameter and determining the physiological parameter from the data. A method of operation of a portable electronic device is also provided.

Abstract: A system and method of monitoring, controlling and/or detecting events during the removal of heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich tissue is described. In some examples, the system detects an increase in temperature at a treatment device in contact with the skin of a subject, determines that the increase in temperature is related to a treatment event, and performs an action based on the determination. In some examples, the system shuts off the treatment device, alerts an operator, or reduces the cooling in response to a determined treatment event.

Abstract: A system is described for removing heat from a subject's subcutaneous lipid-rich regions, such as tissues, organs, cells, and so forth. In various embodiments, the system includes a controller, a computing device, a data acquisition device, a chiller, and one or more applicators. The system can employ these components to receive a selection of a treatment profile and apply the selected treatment using an applicator. The applicator can function with a disposable patient protection device. The disposable patient protection device can be limited in its use, such as based on a count, a time duration, or a date.

Abstract: Computer control of a multi-axis radiographic instrument is utilized to prevent contact between moving surfaces of the instrument based on soft limits. The soft limits are established from a legal state table incorporating all combinations of axis movement of the equipment and relating those combinations to contacting or non-contacting states. The legal state table may be used to map efficient paths between a start and ending position and may be augmented with non-contacting transducers which may sense patient movement not incorporated into the legal state table.
