Abstract: A method for collecting and a device for sensing at least one electrophysiological signal, as well as to a system including at least one such device. The device for sensing at least one electrophysiological signal from a living subject subjected to at least one electromagnetic field, includes elements, such as electrodes, which are placed on the subject for the physical acquisition of at least one electrophysiological signal and at least elements for the pre-processing of the at least one sampled electrophysiological signal. The sensor device (1) is characterised in that it also includes additional elements (7, 8) for measuring or determining at least one characteristic of the electromagnetic environment at or close to the electrophysiological signal acquisition point(s) or zone(s) on the subject.

Abstract: A sensor device intended to be implemented at the vicinity or inside a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus, and more particularly on a patient inside the canal of the magnet of a magnetic resonance imager (MRI). The device includes at least two non-metal electrodes intended to be applied to the skin of a patient, and an electro-optical conversion, amplification and filtering module for the electric signals received from the heart by the electrodes. The module is arranged in a shielded casing forming a Faraday cage, and optically connected to a display and/or monitoring apparatus. A support body made of non-magnetic material carries the electrode and the shielded casing containing the module.

Abstract: Defibrillating device equipped with a plurality of connector/electrodes assemblies of different types. Defibrillating device equipped with a plurality of connector/electrodes assemblies of different types, having each at least a connector cable and adapted to be plugged in, in a removable and interchangeable manner, to the casing of the device at a single connection site equipped with a fixed complimentary connector, all of the control (13, 13') and, preferably, adjustment devices (17) of the functioning of the defibrillating device (1) being mounted on the connector (8)/electrodes (9, 9') assemblies, each type of which is intended for a class of authorized user and/or specific application(s), the casing (2) of the defibrillating device (1) having only indicator and/or display devices (2'), and preferably, no control or adjustment device.

Abstract: A detector device delivering a signal representative of the respiration of patient, adapted to be used in a charged and sensitive electromagnetic environment. The device is principally constituted by at least two non-metallic electrodes (1) and by a unit for the processing of electrical signals emitted by the heart, comprising a first module (5) for acquiring and shaping cardiac electric signals, a second module (6) for extraction of the respiratory signal, and a third module (7) for electro-optical conversion of this latter, the modules being disposed in a shielded casing (8) forming a Faraday cage and, finally, by an optical connection (9) connecting the casing (8) to at least one other apparatus or device.

Abstract: A general surveillance monitor to monitor the vital physiological signs of patients undergoing examination by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is constructed such that each functional module of the monitor is individually protected from the electromagnetic environment and high frequency parasitic currents and such that the control assembly is a computer system without any magnetic storage.
