  • Patent number: 7091879
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for simultaneously using and configuring one or more disposable transmitters. The system includes at least one single or multiple use disposable transmitter, a central station, and a receiver module. The transmitter is connected to a patient to gather and measure biomedical information. The transmitter transmits the biomedical information through the receiver module to the central station for processing, storage and display. Prior to use, each transmitter must be configured to work with the central station and the receiver module. This allows the users to configure the disposable transmitters relatively quickly and easily without needing advanced technical information. The inventive configuration also enables the operator to map a location on a monitor in the central station to a specific disposable transmitter and ultimately to a specific patient or location in the coverage area that is covered by the system.

  • Patent number: 6567680
    Abstract: Disposable electro-cardiogram (ECG) transmitter device and a facilitator for proper placement of electro-cardiogram electrode nodes on a body, such as a human body. The device includes a substrate, integral non-replaceable battery and encapsulated waterproof electronics, and at least one data relay conduit integrally disposed on the substrate and capable of operative contact with a human body. Another embodiment includes a human-shaped or other anatomically shaped substrate and at least one data relay conduit integrally disposed on the human-shaped substrate and capable of operative contact with said human body. In this way, data relay conduits may be more easily and properly placed on the human body by placing the conduits at locations corresponding to their human-shaped substrate locations.
