Abstract: A protocol analyzer and a host simulator for a medical monitoring module testing system are provided. The protocol analyzer may monitor communication in a first protocol from the medical monitoring module to a host or host simulator. The protocol analyzer may parse and display the messages of the first protocol on a display of a computer. The host simulator may receive data from the medical monitoring module and display data corresponding to a physiological parameter on the display.

Abstract: A system and method for generating results indicative of physiological parameters of a patient and for capturing the results. The capture of the results may include recordation of the results through the use of a camera, while the physiological parameters may be generated through monitoring of a patient or by simulating such monitoring.

Abstract: An evaluation board for a medical monitoring module is provided. The evaluation board includes a socket configured to receive a medical monitoring module and a plurality of connections for connection to a host or host simulator and a second device. The evaluation board may include a non-isolated power supply to provide power to the medical monitoring module. The evaluation board may also provide communication in a protocol between the host or host simulator and the medical monitoring module.

Abstract: An evaluation kit for monitoring, testing, and debugging a medical monitoring module is provided. The kit includes a hardware and software to provide for monitoring of communication between the medical monitoring module and a host or host simulator. The kit may provide for various system configurations having a sensor device, a computer having a protocol analyzer and a host simulator, a medical monitoring module, a software host, a medical monitor, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a patient monitoring alarm escalation system and method. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention include an alarm detection device configured to measure physiological data received via a patient monitor, the alarm detection device configured to initiate an alarm in response to predefined measurements of the physiological data, and an alarm device configured to emit a first signal with a first property and a second signal with a second property, the first signal being emitted when the alarm is initiated, the second signal being emitted if an alarm acknowledgement mechanism is not activated prior to a designated event.
