  • Patent number: 6829501
    Abstract: A patient monitoring system comprises a non-invasive cardiac output sensor and a patient monitor console. The non-invasive cardiac output sensor is capable of acquiring a signal from a patient indicative of blood flow through a heart of the patient. The patient monitor console includes an analysis module and a display. The analysis module is coupled to the non-invasive cardiac output sensor and processes the signal from the patient indicative of blood flow to produce a value pertaining to cardiac output. The display is coupled to the analysis module and displays the value pertaining to cardiac output.

  • Patent number: 6792396
    Abstract: An interface device receives data from a plurality of sensors and transmits the data over a communication network to one or more of a plurality of monitors. The interface device is capable of operating in both a peripheral mode of operation and a stand-alone mode of operation for the plurality of monitors. In another embodiment, a monitor is connected to a plurality of interface devices by way of a communication network. A separate visible physical communication link or other identification link is used to visually identify which of the interface devices is serving as a peripheral device for the monitor.

  • Patent number: 6532381
    Abstract: A patient monitor for determining a probability that a patient has acute cardiac ischemia including an input device connectable to a patient to acquire electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from the patient, an instrumentation amplifier connected to the input terminal to combine the signals and to generate at least one ECG lead, and an analysis module. The analysis module is operable to continuously read the ECG lead, to analyze a portion of the ECG lead for a period of time, and to calculate a probability that the patient has acute cardiac ischemia based at least in part on the analyzed portion of the ECG lead.
