Patent Images
1. A method of reducing false alarms associated with vital-sign monitoring, the method comprising:
- generating one or more data samples of a vital sign of a patient at a first sampling rate in a normal mode of operation;
determining whether the one or more data samples satisfy an alert condition;
entering an alert mode of operation if the alert condition is satisfied; and
generating one or more additional data samples of the vital sign at a second sampling rate higher than the first sampling rate in the alert mode.

Abstract
Systems and methods of reducing false alarms associated with a vital-sign monitor are disclosed. One or more data samples of a vital sign of a patient are generated at a first sampling rate in a normal mode of operation.

8. A vital sign monitoring system, comprising:
-
a vital-sign monitor configured to monitor one or more vital signs of a patient; and a surveillance server configured to gather data relating to the one or more vital signs of the patient from the vital-sign monitor, wherein the vital-sign monitor is further configured to; generate one or more data samples of a vital sign of a patient at a first sampling rate in a normal mode of operation; determine whether the one or more data samples satisfy an alert condition; enter an alert mode if the alarm condition is satisfied; and generate one or more additional data samples of the vital sign at a second sampling rate higher than the first sampling rate in the alert mode. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
