  • Patent number: 12199378
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and connectors are described herein for a modular patient monitoring medical device. A new generation of physiological measurement devices, such as Intelligent Patient Front End Devices (IPFE) can provide updated algorithms, features, and software updates for parameter measurement devices without corresponding releases of a new version of host monitor software. IPFEs, together with patient sensors, comprise a complete physiological patient parameter measurement delivery system. A number and a type of parameter measurement devices can be configured to meet varied and changing clinical needs. Remote access to versions, logs, self-tests, settings, history, and/or measurements via the Internet to one or more parameter measurement devices can provide a unified service approach. The connector is configured to electrically connect any two or more devices and provides an electrical connection that can be simply physically or tactually confirmed.

  • Patent number: 12189419
    Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a monitor via a coupling which can be disengaged with an actuator. The monitor mount may be configured to detachably secure the monitor to a support structure via a clip. The monitor may have a reversible cover. The monitor may have a simplified back portion. The simplified back portion may omit couplings or electrical connections such that a back surface of the monitor is continuous. A rack is configured to detachably secure a module therein in multiple positions in which the module is mechanically connected to the rack and electrically connected or disconnected to the rack. The monitor may be a patient monitor and the module may be a patient monitoring module.

  • Publication number: 20240081027
    Abstract: A thermal enclosure for a computer having a processor and a display is disclosed and may include an inner case. The thermal enclosure may further include a heat sink attached to the inner case and thermally connected to the processor. The heat sink may have an outer heat dissipation channel. The thermal enclosure may also include an outer housing that at least partially the envelops the inner case. The outer housing may have a rear housing portion and a front housing portion. The rear housing portion, the front housing portion, and the outer heat dissipation channel may define a heat dissipation opening that may have an overall width, W, and an overall depth, D, the outer heat dissipation channel may be recessed within the heat dissipation opening and W and D may be adapted to prevent a human finger from coming into contact with the outer heat dissipation channel.

  • Publication number: 20240065641
    Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a first monitor and/or a second monitor individually or concurrently. The first monitor is further configured to be detachably secured to the second monitor independently from either monitor being secured to the monitor mount. The second monitor includes a mounting area in which the first monitor is mounted, and the first monitor and the second monitor are configured such that the first monitor is interchangeably insertable into the mounting area from a first lateral direction and a second lateral direction that is opposite to the first lateral direction. Accordingly, the second monitor includes a dual-entry feature that enables the first monitor to be inserted from either lateral side of the second monitor.

  • Publication number: 20240057947
    Abstract: A patient monitor system includes a monitor mount, a first monitor, and a second monitor adapted to provide for data and power transfer between the monitors and the mount. The monitor mount may detachably secure the second monitor, and the second monitor can detachably secure (or otherwise physically interface with) the first monitor. The first monitor may be first mounted or otherwise detachably secured to the second monitor to form an expanded monitor system, and the monitor system may be then detectably secured to the monitor mount. Alternatively, the second monitor may be first mounted or otherwise detachably secured to the monitor mount, and the first monitor may be subsequently inserted into or otherwise mounted within a mounting area defined by the second monitor, the monitor mount, or both the second monitor and the monitor mount.
