Abstract: The present disclosure provides a tube connector, including at least one magnet, arranged such that a tube connection system can identify at least one parameter of the magnet.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to patient monitoring systems having a connector configured to couple a medical sensor to a monitor. According to certain embodiments, the connector may include a layered printed circuit board having a first surface comprising a plurality of electrical contacts and a second surface having a plurality of electrical contacts. The electrical contacts of the first surface and the electrical contacts of the second surface may be configured to enable the connector to be reversible and to electrically couple the medical sensor to the monitor when the connector is in a first orientation or in a second orientation with respect to the monitor.

Abstract: Physical monitoring systems are disclosed which may include a platform interface between a platform device and a monitoring module. The platform interface may allow physiological information from a patient such as sensor signal data, physiological trend data, other suitable data, or combinations thereof to be communicated from the monitoring module to the platform device. The platform interface may include a connector with pins configured to receive UART communications, transmit UART communications, communicate diagnostic information, be coupled to a ground, be coupled to a serial clock, receive serial data, transmit serial data, be coupled to a regulated power supply, be coupled to an unregulated power supply, communicate using USB standard, communicate using any other suitable standards, perform any other suitable functions, or any combinations thereof.

Abstract: A patient monitoring system is provided which includes a platform and one or more monitoring modules. Monitoring modules include parameter modules for monitoring physiological activity of a patient, and utility modules for providing additional functionality to the patient monitoring system. A platform and one or more monitoring modules may be coupled to form a communications bus, allowing communication between any of the plurality of coupled devices. Updates such as software upgrades may be provided by a monitoring module to a platform or other monitoring module to update functionality.
