Patent number: 11251635Abstract: A vital signs monitor includes an equipment housing defining an equipment compartment, a circuit assembly and a battery residing inside the equipment compartment, an electrical connector forming a connection between the battery assembly and the circuit assembly, and a battery discharge circuit. A retainer joined to the equipment housing retains the battery assembly in the housing. The retainer is separable from the housing so that its separation causes a break in the electrical connection and activates the discharge circuit.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: Thaddeus J. Wawro, David M. Antos, Jennifer Bergstrom, Kenneth V Coon, III, Jennifer M. Grant, Scott A. Martin, Carlos A. Suarez

Publication number: 20200253484Abstract: A method of determining a temperature of a patient includes determining that a temperature measurement device is located within at least one of a distance range and an alignment range of a portion of a measurement site of the patient, providing an indication to a user of the device that the device is located within the at least one of the distance range and the alignment range, and determining, with the device, a first temperature of a first location on the portion of the measurement site without contacting the patient with the device. Such a method also includes determining, with the device, a second temperature of a second location on the portion of the measurement site without contacting the patient with the device, wherein the second location is different from the first location. Such a method further includes determining a third temperature of the patient based on the first and second temperatures.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2020Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: John A. Lane, Jennifer M. Grant, Matthew J. Kinsley, Matthew D. Mullin, Nick H. Nguyen, David E. Quinn, Alisa R. Salibra
