  • Time alignment display technique for a medical device
    Patent number: 9218671
    Abstract: A system is presented including at least one sensor and a monitor in operable communication with the at least one sensor. The monitor is configured to display a plurality of graphs each representing a measured physiologic parameter versus time, the plurality of graphs configured to be aligned with respect to each other along a time axis. A marker moves along the time axis of each of the plurality of graphs in response to an input received from an input unit. The plurality of graphs are stacked with respect to each other in a vertical orientation and in a non-overlapping manner.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 22, 2015
    Assignee: Covidien LP
    Inventors: Tony C. Carnes, Henry Szymanski, Kevin R. Birkett

  • Managing critical care physiologic data using data synthesis technology (DST)
    Patent number: 7062251
    Abstract: A method of integrating physiologic data including receiving physiologic treatment data from at least two bedside machines and converting the physiologic treatment data into a machine independent format. The physiologic treatment data can be presented in perceptual real-time. For example, physiologic treatment data from multiple sources can be simultaneously presented within a single graphical user interface. The graphical user interface can be interactive so that displayed graphs can be replotted and timelines revised responsive to user input, such as a point-and-drag motion.
