  • Patent number: 11478155
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system and method for determining a risk, onset, or presence of hypovolemia based on one or more features of a plethysmographic waveform during a patient breathing cycle. For example, a hypovolemic patient may exhibit characteristic changes in pulse amplitude or stroke volume during inhalation and exhalation relative to a healthy patient. Further, a trend or pattern of such features may be used to assess the patient's fluid condition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022
    Assignee: COVIDIEN LP
    Inventors: Michael Mestek, Daniel Lisogurski

  • Patent number: 9554712
    Abstract: A test unit may generate a pulse signal based on a pulsatile profile and a frequency modulation component of a respiratory profile. A respiration modulated signal may be generated from the pulse signal, an amplitude modulation component, and a baseline modulation component. A patient modulated signal may be generated based on the respiration modulated signal and a patient profile. The artificial PPG signal may be generated based on the patient modulated signal and an artifact profile. The artificial PPG signal may be output to an electronic device.
