Patent number: 9693718Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein may include an adapter which is capable of converting signals from an oximeter sensor such that the signals are readable by an oximeter monitor. In an embodiment, the adapter is capable of converting signals relating to calibration information from the oximeter sensor. The calibration information may relate to wavelengths of light emitting diodes within the oximeter sensor. In a specific embodiment, the adapter will convert wavelength calibration information in a first form relating to data values stored in a digital memory chip to a second form relating to a resistance value of an expected resistor within the oximeter sensor.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Robin Boyce, Brad Nordstrom, Arie Ravid, Hui Wang

Publication number: 20100113908Abstract: Present embodiments are directed to a system and method capable of detecting and graphically indicating physiologic patterns in patient data. For example, present embodiments may include a monitoring system that includes a monitor capable of receiving input relating to patient physiological parameters and storing historical data related to the parameters. Additionally, the monitoring system may include a screen capable of displaying the historical data corresponding to the patient physiological parameters. Further, the monitoring system may include a pattern detection feature capable of analyzing the historical data to detect a physiologic pattern in a segment of the historical data and capable of initiating a graphical indication of the segment on the screen when the physiologic pattern is present in the segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLCInventors: Steve Vargas, Robin Boyce, Li Li, Hui Wang, Scott Amundson, James Ochs, Tonia Madere

Publication number: 20100081891Abstract: The present disclosure may describe a system and method for displaying detailed information about a patient at a time selectable from a trend line of historic data. For example, the patient's SpO2, pulse rate, status, and so forth may be recorded over time. One or more trend lines of the recorded data over time may be displayed, and a user may select a point of interest from the trend line. Detailed data corresponding to that point of interest may then be displayed, for example, next to the trend line or on a separate screen. The detailed information may appear in the form of a pop-up box that does not obscure the trend line. In embodiments, the user may select the data point by moving a cursor or placing a pointing device on the trend line. The detailed information may be displayed automatically or may be activated by further user action.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2008Publication date: April 1, 2010Applicant: Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLCInventors: Hui Wang, Li Li, Steve Vargas, Robin Boyce, Scott Amundson, James Ochs, Tonia Madere

Publication number: 20090247851Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for facilitating user input of alarm settings for a patient monitor. In various embodiments, a pulse oximetry monitor may include a graphical user interface (GUI) which is capable of displaying a graph of blood oxygen saturation percentage over time. The system may be capable of allowing a user to enter an alarm threshold value and/or an alarm integration threshold value. The alarm threshold value may be displayed as a line on the graph, and the alarm integration threshold value may be displayed as a shaded area on the graph. The GUI may include an indicator of where an alarm would be initiated given the graph, the input alarm threshold value, and/or the alarm integration threshold value. The disclosed GUI may provide the user with a clear illustration of how the alarm threshold value and alarm integration threshold value may affect the alarm.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2009Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLCInventors: Keitch Batchelder, Scott Amundson, Steve Vargas, James Ochs, Li Li, Robin Boyce
