  • Battery system for MRI compatible wireless patient monitor
    Patent number: 8294588
    Abstract: A patient monitoring system detects physiological signals from a patient during an MRI examination. The patient monitoring system wirelessly transmits data associated with the physiological signals to a remote base unit. The wireless transmission of data is carried out in a manner to not be disruptive to the MRI examination. The patient monitoring system has a removable, MRI magnet compatible battery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 10, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 23, 2012
    Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.v.
    Inventors: Stephen Douglas Fisher, Robert A. Harwell, Kenneth Van Arsdel
  • Interfaced base unit and display system for an MRI magnet room
    Patent number: 8121667
    Abstract: A base unit operable with a wireless patient monitoring unit used to acquire physiological data during an MRI examination is constructed to have a detachable display unit. The detachable display unit wirelessly communicates with the base unit when in a roving mode. The detachable display unit may also have a magnetically-hardened power supply that does not saturate during an MRI examination. Such a magnetically-hardened power supply allows the display unit to operate when proximate or in the magnetic field generated by an MRI machine during an MRI examination.

  • Wireless patient parameter sensors for use in MRI
    Patent number: 8098149
    Abstract: A wireless patient monitor for MRI provides for on-board filtering of physiological signals from the patient to provide improved assessment and processing of MRI noise before the signal is affected by the transmission process. A system of powering of a wireless patient monitor using capacitors is also provided.
