  • Automated tracking of a medical procedure using macros
    Patent number: 9727693
    Abstract: A system for tracking a medical procedure includes a set of macros, a scanning device, and a control unit. Each macro in the set of macros is associated with instructions that execute a tracking step of a medical procedure. The scanning device is controlled by a user during the medical procedure to select a macro from the set of macros. The control unit executes the instructions associated with the selected macro to track the medical procedure.

  • User interface for configuring an invasive cardiology digital signal amplifier and method of use
    Patent number: 8382706
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for catheter input management. Certain embodiments provide a user interface system facilitating catheter monitoring. The system includes a virtual catheter input module (CIM) corresponding to and representing a physical CIM that is adapted to be connected to at least one catheter. The system also includes a configuration module establishing a catheter configuration for the virtual CIM based on a plurality of configuration settings for a catheter channel. At least one catheter channel is assigned to a virtual input port on the virtual CIM. The configuration module applies the catheter configuration for at least one catheter channel when a catheter is connected to a physical input port on the physical CIM corresponding to the virtual input port on the virtual CIM.
