1. A method for the validation of physiological data, acquired in two or more parts of the human body by sensors connected to a medical device, for the statistical validation of the relationship among the data of the signals retrieved by said medical devices, said method comprising the steps of:

  • a) verifying that sensors are connected to the medical device by information processing means, and that physiological data, consistent with the parameters sought to be measured, is recorded;

    b) defining the elapsed time of the study (Tt;

    starting at 0 seconds);

    the maximum time of the study (Tmax=specific time constant);

    the sampling time (Tm=specific time constant) during which the physiological data, needed for the statistical study, is collected;

    the reading time (TL=specific time constant), said reading time being the interval at which physiological data is retrieved from the communication port;

    the validation time (Tv), which defines the time at which statistical analysis is carried out, said validation time comprising one or more preset time values greater than Tm;

    c) retrieving physiological data separately from each of said two or more sensors by said information processing means within a preset reading time interval (TL);

    d) repeating step c) every TL until the following condition is met;

    Tt=Tv, and if this condition is met, proceeding to the next step;

    e) making a statistical validation of the physiological data retrieved from said two or more sensors, defined based on the volume and characteristics thereof, by the use of the information processing means;

    f) if physiological data, acquired in this manner, does not approve the statistical validation made in step e) and Tt<

    Tmax, repeating steps c), d) and e);

    g) if physiological data, acquired in this manner, does not approve the statistical validation made in step e), and Tt>

    =Tmax, concluding the method;

    h) if physiological data, acquired in this manner, does approve the statistical validation made in step e), classifying said acquired data as being suitable for use and concluding the method.
