Patent number: 11291397Abstract: An ECG monitoring system for ambulatory patients includes a small multi-electrode patch that adhesively attaches to the chest of a patient. A reusable battery-powered ECG monitor clips onto the patch and receives patient electrical signals from the electrodes of the patch. A processor continuously processes received ECG signals and stores the signals in memory in the monitor. The processor also analyzes the received ECG signals for predefined arrhythmia. If an arrhythmia is detected, a wireless transceiver in the ECG monitor transmits the event information and an ECG strip to a cellphone handset. The cellphone handset automatically relays the event information and ECG strip to a monitoring center for further diagnosis and necessary intervention.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Thomas Solosko, Stacy Gehman, Earl Herleikson, Thomas Lyster, Shannon Fong, Kim Hansen, Jon Bishay, Chuni Kao, Brett Cross, Krishnakant Nammi, Corinne Mauser

Patent number: 9744370Abstract: A method for using a defibrillator is described which executes a resuscitation protocol having a CPR pause period. The defibrillator prompts a rescuer to perform CPR during a CPR pause period. The CPR pause period may be interrupted for the acquisition of ECG signal data which is not contaminated by chest compression artifacts. Following the acquisition of ECG signal data, the CPR period resumes and continues for its full period. The ECG signal data acquired during the interruption of the CPR period is analyzed and, if a shockable rhythm is identified, a shock sequence is initiated immediately upon conclusion of the CPR period.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventor: Thomas Lyster

Publication number: 20090105602Abstract: A two-stage digital algorithm uses a highly sensitive low power digital first stage to detect one or more alarm conditions, and one or more complex digital subsequent stages that identify the detected alarm condition with more specificity. The one or more complex digital subsequent stages are not activated, and consume no power, until an alarm condition is sensed by the low power consumption digital first stage. Given that the second stage will process the data more rigorously, the low power first stage can be set to be more sensitive and generate what would otherwise be excessive alarms, which are ultimately filtered out by the subsequent stages. By staging the digital analysis algorithms, the present invention achieves high sensitivity for alarm conditions with low computational throughput and low power consumption, and achieves high specificity with more computationally intensive algorithms that only run occasionally.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2005Publication date: April 23, 2009Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Stacy Gehman, Thomas Lyster

Patent number: 7489972Abstract: Handling or removal of a pair of pre-connected defibrillator electrode pads from their package, or a compartment in the defibrillator, is detected in order to effectively time the issuance of prompts to guide the user. Detection occurs when an impedance level between the electrode pads varies sufficiently over time to indicate occurrence of the handling or removal event. The pads are preferably configured to leverage variability in the impedance that results from bending of pads during handling or removal.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2004Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V.Inventors: Douglas Denney, Thomas Lyster, Joseph Diederichs, Daniel Kingsbury, Eric Jonsen, Alan Greenstein, Thomas A.

Publication number: 20070167850Abstract: The present invention provides methods and an apparatus for an adaptive physiological monitoring system (10). The physiological monitoring system incorporates a sensor (110) responsive to the physical activity of the monitor-wearing patient. The system monitors one or more physical parameter(s) of the user to distinguish between periods of quiet rest and normal waking activity and communicates non-urgent information regarding a system error or information about the measured physical parameter to the user or to an external system only if one or more physical parameters of the user exceed predetermined threshold criteria The system also suppresses alerts regarding physiological states that are inconsistent with normal patient activity if one or more physical parameters of the user exceed a predetermined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2005Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: James Russell, Thomas Lyster

Publication number: 20060142806Abstract: A method and article for storing an automatic external defibrillator for use without a prescription are described. The hermetically sealed electrode pads of the OTC AED are electrically coupled to the OTC AED base unit where they are constantly accessible to self-test circuitry inside the base unit for periodic, automatic self-test. In one embodiment the self-test is designed to determine whether the conductive gel of the electrode pads has dried out. In another embodiment self-test circuitry also tests the battery while the OTC AED is being stored prior to use.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2005Publication date: June 29, 2006Inventors: Wendy Katzman, Thomas Lyster, Thomas Solosko, Carlton Morgan, Kim Hansen, Daniel Powers, Hans Griesser, Eric Jonsen, David Snyder

Publication number: 20060116723Abstract: A method for operating an automatic external defibrillator (AED) prompts an operator about proper operation of the automatic external defibrillator and placement of the electrodes to ensure rapid and proper operation. Depending upon a state of a pad storage compartment, upon activation the AED issues an initial prompt, pauses after the initial prompt and then issues a second prompt. The AED also determines whether the pads have been removed from a liner and if so, issues a pad application prompt. The AED next determines whether both pads have been placed and if so, analyzes an impedance signal and if the impedance signal is erratic, issues a pad correction prompt. The AED also issues the pad correction prompt if the pads are removed from the liner but never go on the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2003Publication date: June 1, 2006Inventors: Kim Hansen, Thomas Lyster, Kurt Fischer, James Froman, Douglas Denney
