Abstract: In one embodiment, an ECG monitoring system includes two or more electrodes configured to record cardiac potentials from a patient, at least one processor, and a rapid acquisition module executable on the at least one processor to: determine that an impedance of each electrode is less than an impedance threshold; record initial ECG lead data based on the cardiac potentials; determine that a noise level in each ECG lead of the initial ECG data is less than a noise threshold; start a recording timer once the noise level is below the noise threshold; record an ECG dataset while the noise level is maintained below the noise threshold until the recording timer reaches a predetermined test duration; store the ECG dataset and provide a completion alert.

Abstract: An electrocardiograph system including a monitoring device capable of receiving cardiac signals from electrodes attached to a patient in an alternative electrode configuration, wherein the alternative electrode configuration is one of a predetermined set of known electrode configurations that differs from a default configuration. The system further includes an analysis module configured to analyze the cardiac signals to detect that the electrodes are attached to the patient in an electrode configuration that differs from the default configuration, and then request information from the user identifying the alternative electrode configuration from the predetermined set of known electrode configurations. The analysis module retrieves a set of criteria for assessing the cardiac signals based on the alternative electrode configuration, and automatically analyzes the cardiac signals based on the set of criteria for the alternative electrode configuration.

Abstract: A method for processing ECG records from multiple patients for clinician overreading includes identifying an unread group of current ECG records from multiple patients awaiting clinician overreading. Each ECG record in the ungroup includes at least a current ECG data, a current waveform measurement, a current interpretative statement, and a serial comparison statement. A set of prioritization rules is applied with a processor to prioritize the current ECG records in the unread group into a prioritized order for clinician overreading based on at least one of the current waveform measurements, the current interpretive statements, and the serial comparison statements. The current ECG records are then presented in the prioritized order for clinician overreading.

Abstract: A patient monitoring system that operates mobile medical devices based upon a known location of the mobile medical device within a facility. Each of the mobile medical devices communicates with a central control unit to obtain information and communicate information received from the patient. Each communication event between the mobile medical device and the central control unit can be used to identify the location of the mobile medical device within the facility. The known physical location of the mobile medical device can be correlated to one of a plurality of departments within the care facility. Once the location is correlated to the department within the care facility, the operation of the mobile medical device can be adjusted by selecting an operating mode and user interface based on the department. The automated adjustment of the operating mode and user interface improves the function of the medical device without requiring user input.

Abstract: A method and system for electrocardiographic monitoring includes receiving cardiac signals recorded from electrodes attached to a patient according to a known electrode configuration and determining the known electrode configuration. The cardiac signal is then automatically analyzed based on the alternative electrode configuration. In one embodiment, the method includes acquiring a cardiac signal through electrodes connected to the patient according to a known electrode configuration and analyzing the cardiac signal to detect whether the known electrode configuration deviates from a standard 12 lead ECG configuration. If a deviation is detected, then an estimated electrode configuration is determined for the electrodes connected to the patient and the estimated electrode configuration is presented to a user.
