  • Publication number: 20040127802
    Abstract: A system for detecting physiological data from a patient and, more particularly, a system for detecting electrocardiograph (ECG) information from a patient and transmitting the information to a central monitoring station via telemetry.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 22, 2003
    Publication date: July 1, 2004
    Applicant: GMP Companies, Inc.
    Inventors: Rud Istvan, Bill Gregory, Kenneth Solovay, David Paul Chastain, John David Gundlach, Nicholas C. Hopman, Daniel L. Williams, Franco Lodato, Michael Salem
  • Publication number: 20040073127
    Abstract: A wireless monitoring system and, more particularly, a wireless monitoring system for detecting and transmitting physiological data. The present invention detects physiological data relating to a patients cardiac activity and respiration rate and transmits the data to a remote base station via telemetry. The base station processes the data so that the data can be displayed by an ECG monitor.

  • Publication number: 20030199777
    Abstract: A method and system for wireless ECG monitoring is provided. An electrode connector, transmitter and receiver operate with existing electrodes and ECG monitors. The electrode connector includes connectors for attaching to disposable or reusable single electrodes. The transmitter transmits the signals from the electrodes to the receiver. The receiver passes the electrode signals to the ECG monitor for processing. ECG monitors used with an electrical conductor, for example wire connections to electrodes, are connected with the receiver, avoiding the purchase of a new monitor. Any legacy ECG monitor, including different ECG monitors, connects with the receiver using the ECG monitor's lead-wires. The ECG monitor operates as if directly connected to the electrodes without the problems discussed above associated with wires running from the ECG monitor to the patient.

  • Patent number: 6598303
    Abstract: A shaving razor including a handle and three blade units each connected to the handle by a respective mounting structure that provides a pivotal connection of the blade unit to the mounting structure about a pivot axis that is transverse to the cutting edge, and also provides controlled up and down movement of the blade unit thereby permitting each said blade unit to conform to the contour of a surface being shaved. The handle has an index finger indent on a top surface, and thumb indent on the bottom surface, and is shaped to match the curvature of a user's hand.

  • Publication number: 20030105403
    Abstract: A cardiac monitoring system and, more particularly, a wireless electrocardiograph (ECG) system. The present invention detects electrical signals from a patient's heart and transmits the signals digitally to a remote base station via telemetry. The base station converts the digital signals back to an analog electrical signals that can be read by an ECG monitor.
