Patent number: 12199378Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Drägerwerk AG & Co.

Publication number: 20240065641Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Drägerwerk AG & Co.

Publication number: 20240057947Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2021Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: John C.
