  • Self contained transportable life support system
    Patent number: 6899103
    Abstract: A self-contained transportable life support system for resuscitation, stabilization, and transport of a patient has an environmentally controlled housing for receiving and supporting a patient and a plurality of medical devices disposed within the housing. A control circuit attached to the housing has at least a portion thereof extending to an external surface of the housing for regulating operation of the medical devices and environmental conditions of within the housing in response to monitored life support conditions of the patient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 1999

  • Control and display configuration layout
    Patent number: 6234172
    Abstract: A transportable life support system for providing medical care to a patient while transporting the patient from one location to another has a platform configured to receive the patient, a plurality of medical devices attached to the platform for providing medical monitoring and medical therapy to the patient, and a control and display panel comprising controls and displays for the medical devices. The control and display panel provides a centralized location for monitoring and controlling the medical devices so as to mitigate a need for an operator to move about the platform in order to individually observe a display for each medical device and to individually control each medical device.

  • Electrical power system for a self-contained transportable life support system
    Patent number: 6230710
    Abstract: A switching control circuit for use in an electrical power system for a transportable life support system is disclosed. The switching control circuit provides uninterrupted power to a load of medical and utility devices by switching between one of a set of converted external power voltages and an internal power voltage outputted by a rechargeable internal power source. The power switching is effected within the time interval during which a residual voltage still remains on line due to capacitance discharge of the corresponding power converter and capacitance discharge of the main bus, resulting in uninterrupted electrical power to the load.
