Patent number: 8593275Abstract: A patient monitoring system and method for reliably communicating alarm conditions detected by an acquisition device that receives physiological data from the patient. The acquisition device includes a control unit that detects alarm conditions based upon the physiological data received from the patient. A primary transmitter and a secondary transmitter are coupled to the control unit and are each capable of transmitting the alarm condition. The primary transmitter is configured to connect to a wireless network and communicate over a first frequency range. The secondary transmitter is configured to transmit over a secondary wireless network using a second frequency range different from the first frequency range. When the primary transmitter is not able to communicate with the primary wireless network, the control unit activates the secondary transmitter to transmit the alarm condition. The secondary transmitter remains active until the primary transmitter reconnects with the primary wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Carl Claude Davis

Patent number: 7898424Abstract: A centralized patient monitoring system configured to enable each of a plurality of technicians to generally simultaneously monitor multiple patients is disclosed herein. The centralized patient monitoring system includes a computer adapted to receive patient data from the monitored patients, and a display configured to visually convey the patient data. The centralized patient monitoring system also includes a directional speaker configured to selectively generate a localized alarm in order to audibly alert one of the technicians when a monitored patient requires attention in a manner that is generally imperceptible to the other technicians.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Carl Claude Davis
