Patent number: 11071467Abstract: A system for monitoring a patient includes a sensor configured to determine a first characteristic and a second characteristic of an at least partially occluded artery. The system also includes a control module in communication with the sensor and configured to determine a hemodynamic parameter of the patient based on the first and second characteristics. The control module is operable in an automatic operating mode and a manual operating mode. The automatic operating mode is characterized by the sensor determining, in response to one or more sensor control signals automatically generated by the control module, the first and second characteristics during at least one of automatic inflation and automatic deflation of a cuff associated with the control module. The manual operating mode is characterized by the sensor determining, in response to manual actuation of a trigger associated with the sensor, the first and second characteristics during at least one of inflation and deflation of the cuff.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2014Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: Shawn C. St. Pierre, Ian K. Edwards
