  • Patent number: 5537289
    Abstract: A medical monitoring system including a wall mounting plate to which a center support member is rigidly attached using a pair of mounting flanges which engage a pair of integral tracks on a forward surface of the mounting plate. The center support supports a plurality of module housings, each of which contains module slots for insertion of interchangeable modular components. A touch-screen display mounts to the center support member using a pedestal which permits rotation of the display in two orthogonal directions to permit ease of viewing by a user. An electronic device such as a power supply may be mounted to the tracks with mounting brackets to provide power for the monitoring system. A pair of secondary tracks on the mounting plate support a cable retainer and provide a passageway for cables to pass beneath the power supply where they are concealed from view.
