  • Publication number: 20230417633
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for testing medical devices comprising: a test device configured for testing a medical device; and a user computing device in communication with the test device, where the user computing device comprises a processor having addressable memory, where the processor is configured to: receive an ID of the medical device to be tested; select a profile associated with the received ID of the medical device; select a preset associated with the selected profile; initiate testing of the medical device by the test device; receive one or more parameter values from based on test information results from the test device; determine a test result based on pass criteria from a comparison of the received one or more parameter values to the one or more simulation parameter values of the preset.

  • Patent number: 7091879
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for simultaneously using and configuring one or more disposable transmitters. The system includes at least one single or multiple use disposable transmitter, a central station, and a receiver module. The transmitter is connected to a patient to gather and measure biomedical information. The transmitter transmits the biomedical information through the receiver module to the central station for processing, storage and display. Prior to use, each transmitter must be configured to work with the central station and the receiver module. This allows the users to configure the disposable transmitters relatively quickly and easily without needing advanced technical information. The inventive configuration also enables the operator to map a location on a monitor in the central station to a specific disposable transmitter and ultimately to a specific patient or location in the coverage area that is covered by the system.
