Publication number: 20180317826Abstract: A first medical device can acquire a physiological parameter value from a patient and communicate the physiological parameter value to a medical network interface. The medical network interface can link a patient ID associated with the physiological parameter and a device ID associated with the first medical device with the medical network interface's device ID. The medical network interface can pass the physiological parameter value to a second medical device for further processing or routing to another medical device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2018Publication date: November 8, 2018Inventors: Bilal Muhsin, Nicholas Evan Barker

Publication number: 20180310823Abstract: A patient monitoring device can be configured to provide fast and reliable physiological measurements in a variety of care settings including at a patient's home. The device can include a compact, standalone monitor with telehealth capabilities as well as an intuitive interface for use at home. The device can include a blood pressure, capnography, or pulse oximetry module. A device can include a sleek and continuous outer surface that is easy to clean and generally free of crevices, holes, or surfaces that collect external contaminants. For example, portions of the housing can connect together using a limited number of screws, thereby limiting a number of holes. The device can include a vent cover that can be rotated to reconfigure the function of the vent cover. For example, the vent cover can function as a stabilization feature and/or a cover for a ventilation hole, while permitting exhaust through the ventilation hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2018Publication date: November 1, 2018Inventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Nicholas Evan Barker, Steven Egge, Chad A.

Publication number: 20180242924Abstract: A multi-parameter patient monitoring device rack can dock a plurality of patient monitor modules and can communicate with a separate display unit. A signal processing unit can be incorporated into the device rack. A graphics processing unit can be attached to the display unit. The device rack and the graphic display unit can have improved heat dissipation and drip-proof features. The multi-parameter patient monitoring device rack can provide interchangeability and versatility to a multi-parameter patient monitoring system by allowing use of different display units and monitoring of different combinations of parameters. A dual-use patient monitor module can have its own display unit configured for displaying one or more parameters when used as a stand-alone device, and can be docked into the device rack when a handle on the module is folded down.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2018Publication date: August 30, 2018Inventors: Nicholas Evan Barker, Chad A. DeJong, Kirby Clark Dotson, Ammar Al-Ali, Bilal Muhsin, Sujin Hwang, Massi Joe E. Kiani

Publication number: 20180130325Abstract: A modular patient monitor provides a multipurpose, scalable solution for various patient monitoring applications. In an embodiment, a modular patient monitor utilizes multiple wavelength optical sensor and/or acoustic sensor technologies to provide blood constituent monitoring and acoustic respiration monitoring (ARM) at its core, including pulse oximetry parameters and additional blood parameter measurements such as carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) and methemoglobin (HbMet). Expansion modules provide blood pressure BP, blood glucose, ECG, CO2, depth of sedation and cerebral oximetry to name a few. Aspects of the present disclosure also include a transport dock for providing enhanced portability and functionally to handheld monitors. In an embodiment, the transport dock provides one or more docking interfaces for placing monitoring components in communication with other monitoring components. In an embodiment, the transport dock attaches to the modular patient monitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventors: Massi Joe E.

Publication number: 20160324486Abstract: The present disclosure includes a medical monitoring hub as the center of monitoring for a monitored patient. The hub includes configurable medical ports and serial ports for communicating with other medical devices in the patient's proximity. Moreover, the hub communicates with a portable patient monitor. The monitor, when docked with the hub provides display graphics different from when undocked, the display graphics including anatomical information. The hub assembles the often vast amount of electronic medical data, associates it with the monitored patient, and in some embodiments, communicates the data to the patient's medical records.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Eric Karl Kinast, Bilal Muhsin, Massi Joe E.

Publication number: 20130296672Abstract: A sensor cover according to embodiments of the disclosure is capable of being used with a noninvasive physiological sensor, such as a pulse oximetry sensor. Certain embodiments of the sensor cover reduce or eliminate false readings from the sensor when the sensor is not in use, for example, by blocking a light detecting component of a pulse oximeter sensor when the pulse oximeter sensor is active but not in use. In certain embodiment, the sensor cover has a pattern that allows it to be more easily seen on a surface such as a floor. Further, embodiments of the sensor cover prevent contamination of the sensor. Additionally, embodiments of the sensor cover can prevent damage to the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: Masimo CorporationInventors: Charles D.
