  • Patent number: 10638852
    Abstract: A bedsheet-holder for securing bedding materials together when in use on a mattress. The bedsheet-holder includes an elongated flexible member having a first end and a second end designed to secure a plurality of bedding materials in place. A plurality of fasteners positioned along the length of the elongated member are designed to secure the elongated member to the plurality of bedding materials, such that the plurality of bedding materials remain attached to one another and are prevented from falling off of a bed when in use. The bedsheet-holder further includes a first mating fastener on the first end of the member designed to removably attach the member to a first side of a frame of a bed, and a second mating fastener on the second end of the member designed to removably attach the elongated member to an opposite second side of a frame of a bed.

  • Patent number: 9774589
    Abstract: A management method for outpatient electrocardiography on a patient using an ECG recorder, an administration network, a first mobile device and at least one second mobile device is provided. In order to initialize outpatient electrocardiography on a patient, the first mobile device is connected to the ECG recorder and to the administration network and in the process an identification code assigned to the ECG recorder is transmitted from the ECG recorder to the administration network. After the verification of the authorizations of the mobile device, at least one certificate assigned to the ECG recorder is provided by the administration network and is transmitted to the ECG recorder for storage via the mobile device. The second mobile device is connected to the ECG recorder and to the administration network and in the process the identification code assigned to the ECG recorder is transmitted from the ECG recorder to the administration network.

  • Publication number: 20160066805
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for providing a long-term ECG. The assembly comprises a portable ECG device (1), which is designed and intended to record, for a defined or definable time period, an ECG of a patient who can be associated with the ECG device (1), and an application software (2) for the ECG device (1) that can be executed on a mobile device (3) or on a computer. By means of the application software (2), parameters of the ECG device (1) can be set and data recorded by the ECG device (1) can be read out and displayed. Furthermore, the application software (2) is designed to visually instruct an operating person in the electrode placement for an ECG and to detect and evaluate parameters of the ECG device (1) and/or of an ECG cable (41-43) connected to the ECG device (1).
