Publication number: 20240139045Abstract: A patient transport apparatus with a support structure having a base, a support frame, and a patient support deck defining a support surface. An inertial sensor is coupled to the support structure and generates a signal representing a change in velocity of the support structure. A controller in communication with the inertial sensor has a processor and a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a program that monitors the signal generated by the inertial sensor for changes relative to a predetermined threshold. In response to an event in which the signal exceeds the predetermined threshold, the program is further configured to: generate a waveform based on the signal received from the inertial sensor; store the waveform at an overwritable address in the non-transitory storage medium; and generate an entry in an event log stored in the non-transitory storage medium, the entry comprising one or more parameters associated with the waveform.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: Neeraj Singla, Aaron Douglas Furman, Bhavin Rajeshkumar Kapadia, Brandon David Naber, Thomas Alan Puvogel
