Patient monitoring system having transportable data module and display unit
First Claim
1. A monitoring system for providing continuous, uninterrupted, monitoring of one or more physiological conditions of a patient, including periods of transport of the patient from a location to a destination, said patient having physiological condition data sensors applied thereto, said system comprising:
- a substantially non-transportable, first display unit positioned at said location, said first unit providing a data display for the physiological conditions being monitored;
a portable, second display unit capable of accompanying the patient during transport for providing a data display for the physiological conditions being monitored;
a data acquisition and processing module for receiving data from the sensors; and
means for coupling said module to said first and second display units in a selected one of the following coupling modes;
simultaneously to said first and second display units, individually to said first display unit and individually to said second display unit, so that said module may drive said display units to display data of the physiological conditions being monitored.

Abstract
A monitoring system for providing continuous monitoring of a patient, including periods of transport, includes a data acquisition and processing module receiving physiological data from the patient. The module may be inserted in a bedside display unit to display the physiological condition data being monitored. The module may also be inserted in a portable display unit that can accompany the patient during transport. Connectors permit the module to simultaneously drive both the display units so that no data is lost when the module is removed from the bedside unit and placed in the portable unit and vice versa.

10. A monitoring system for providing continuous, uninterrupted, monitoring of one or more physiological conditions of a patient, including periods of transport of the patient from a location to a destination, said patient having physiological condition data sensors applied thereto, said system comprising:
-
a substantially non-transportable, first display unit positioned at said location, said first unit providing a data display for the physiological conditions being monitored in a predetermined manner; a portable, second display unit capable of accompanying the patient during transport for providing a data display for the physiological conditions being monitored in a manner corresponding to that of said first display unit; a data acquisition and processing module for receiving data from the sensors, said module being separate from said first and second display units; and means for coupling said module to said first and second display units in a selected one of the following coupling modes;
simultaneously to said first and second display units, individually to said first display unit and individually to said second display unit, so that said module may drive said display units to display monitored physiological conditions data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
