Abstract
The invention lies in the domain of medical technology and relates to a diagnosis and monitoring device for the rapid diagnosis and monitoring of vital parameters of the human or animal body, in particular of the heart and/or lungs, said device being compact, without cables and/or tubes and easy to use for the user. Devices such as a bell (1) comprising a membrane (2) and/or measuring electrodes (4, 5) for receiving and forwarding acoustic and/or electric signals of the body are arranged in a housing with a cross-section that is approximately the size of the palm of a hand and a height of approximately half a hand-width, on the side of a housing that is to be placed on the body. Said devices are connected to a device in the housing, which analyses, filters and stores the signals of the receiving device and to additional devices for visually reproducing the evaluated signals in digital or analogue form using display fields (14, 15, 16, 17) and/or for acoustically reproducing said signals using a loudspeaker (9) located in the housing. The diagnosis and monitoring device also comprises interfaces (10, 11) for connecting external devices and equipment (e.g. computer, earphones, printer). The principal characteristics of the invention are illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3.

6. A method for measuring the oxygenating levels and circulation levels of the human or animal body, especially the arterial oxygen saturation of the blood, the arterial capillary and venous blood pressure levels and the recapillarisation time, characteristic in that a section of the body is being pushed together in a defined way, by the pressure device, and then the pressure will be released again, whereby this section of the body lies between a light transmitter and a light receiver and is x-rayed, and, during this process, this light is being measured, analysed and correlated.

17. A method for the diagnosis of sound transmission, reflection and the resonance properties of areas or tissues of the human or animal body, characteristic in that a percussion element produces standardised sound waves, whose reverberation through the body or the body part, is being received by a recording unit and being analysed by a electronic device.
