Patent number: 10231676Abstract: A portable patient monitor has an integrated mode in which it operates as a plug-in module for a multiparameter patient monitoring system (MPMS). The patient monitor also has a portable mode in which it operates separately from the MPMS as a battery-powered handheld or standalone instrument. The patient monitor has a sensor port that receives a signal indicative of physiological parameters as input to an internal processor. The patient monitor processes this sensor signal to derive patient measurements. In the portable mode, this information is provided on its display. In the integrated mode, the patient monitor provides patient measurements to the MPMS to be displayed on a MPMS monitor.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Don Carothers, David Dalke, Mohamed K. Diab, Julian Goldman, Massi E. Kiani, Michael Lee, Jerome Novak, Robert Smith, Val E. Vaden

Patent number: 8405608Abstract: A sensor, such as, for example, a gravity-responsive sensor, provides an output used to select an orientation of a display of a display device. For example, the output may indicate that the orientation of the display should comprise a portrait or landscape orientation, an orientation rotated, such as, for example, ninety degrees (90°), one hundred and eighty degrees (180°), two hundred and seventy degrees (270°), or the like. In addition, one or more manual switches, buttons, or display icons may be actuated or otherwise selected to manually set the orientation of the display.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Don Carothers, David Dalke, Mohamed K.

Patent number: 7530949Abstract: A pulse oximeter has an integrated mode in which it operates as a plug-in module for a multiparameter patient monitoring system (MPMS). The pulse oximeter also has a portable mode in which operates separately from the MPMS as a battery-powered handheld or standalone instrument. The pulse oximeter has a sensor port that receives a photo-plethysmographic signal as input to an internal processor. The pulse oximeter processes this sensor signal to derive oxygen saturation and pulse rate measurements. In the portable mode, this information is provided on its display, and stored in memory for trend capability. In the integrated mode, the pulse oximeter provides oxygen saturation and pulse rate measurements to the MPMS through a docking station to be displayed on a MPMS monitor. In the integrated mode, the portable pulse oximeter docks to the docking station, which in turn is inserted in one or more MPMS slots.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2004Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Ammar Al Ali, Don Carothers, David Dalke, Mohamed K.

Patent number: 6658276Abstract: A pulse oximetry user interface has a display and a plurality of views each configured to occupy the display. Each of the views are adapted to present data responsive to a physiological signal. A plurality of icons are configured to occupy a portion of the views and adapted to designate the content of the views. Further, a plurality of keys are proximate to the display and correspond to the icons so as to select the icons. One of the views is a pleth view that presents a pulse waveform. Another one of the views is a trend view that presents a trend graph. At least one of the icons can be selected so as to switch the display between the pleth view and the trend view.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Massi E.
