  • MONITORING OF USE STATUS AND AUTOMATIC POWER MANAGEMENT IN MEDICAL DEVICES
    Publication number: 20090030285
    Abstract: A method is provided for automatically determining the use status of an electronic medical device (e.g., an electronic stethoscope) and/or activating such a device. The method includes providing a patient portion of the device, i.e., one or more portions of the device that, in use, are brought into contact with a patient, with a contact or proximity detector. The detector provides an output signal when the patient portion is proximate to, or in contact with, a portion of a patient. This output signal, after signal processing, is used in determining the use status of the device.
