Abstract: A point-of-care medical testing system integrated with a patient monitor is disclosed. The system may include a microfluidic cartridge configured to receive a blood sample and generate a sensory signal dependent on a concentration of a biomarker in the blood sample. A cartridge reading assembly receives the microfluidic cartridge. The cartridge reading assembly includes a processing unit and a memory coupled with the processing unit. The memory stores executable instructions to cause the processing unit to receive the sensory signal, correlate the received sensory signal with the concentration of the biomarker in the blood sample, and produce an output representative of the concentration of the biomarker in the blood sample. The cartridge reading assembly is coupled to the patient monitor and configured to send the output to the patient monitor.

Abstract: A physiological monitoring system, according to embodiments of the disclosure, can independently control multiple displays to provide displays of measured physiological parameters than can differ from each other in format and/or selected parameters. Individual display monitors can be customized to display the parameters of interest to a particular medical professional more prominently. In order to facilitate controlling multiple displays, a controller in communication with the physiological monitoring system can be attached or positioned near a user of a display. The controller can remotely change the display output from the physiological monitoring system. The controller can be attached to a particular display and control the corresponding output for that display. Typically, commands from the controller affect only the display output for the particular display and not the display output for other displays.
