Ambulatory recorder having sliding period switches
First Claim
1. An ambulatory data recorder, comprising:
- a sensor to sense physiologic data;
means for sampling and recording the sensed physiologic data; and
a patient activated period slide switch, the slide switch being moveable from a first position, where a period start notation is made in the recorded data, to a second position, where a period end notation is made in the recorded data.

Abstract
An ambulatory data recorder having a slidable patient activity period switch. The slidable patient activity period switch permits the patient to slide the switch from a first position to a second position upon the start of a pre-defined activity, e.g. eating. Upon completion of the pre-defined activity, the switch is slide from the second position back to the first position. While in either the first or second position the switch position corresponds to a marking on the recorder enclosure such that the patient can readily understand which activity the switch is indicating. The slidable patient activity period switch is further configured to have minimal power consumption. In one embodiment the switch is provided through a standard keyboard interrupt service routine.
