Patient monitoring and treatment medical signal interface system
First Claim
1. A medical signal interface device for bidirectionally conveying signals between a patient and patient monitoring and treatment devices, comprising:
- a bidirectional electrical signal interface for,receiving and buffering patient parameter monitoring signals received from a patient via patient attached leads andconcurrently outputting treatment related signals used in applying invasive or non-invasive treatment to a patient and providing electrical isolation of said patient parameter monitoring signals received from said patient via patient attached leads from treatment related signals used in applying invasive or non-invasive treatment output to a patient;
a bidirectional electrical signal processor, responsive to commands received from a control processor and coupled to said electrical signal interface, for processing received patient parameter monitoring signals using filtering and amplification to provide processed patient monitoring signals for output to at least one patient monitoring device and for processing the treatment related signals for output by buffering the treatment related signals for output to a patient; and
a control processor for providing data representing the commands in response to at least one of, (a) predetermined configuration data and (b) deriving data representing the commands from data entered by a user via a displayed user interface image.

Abstract
A medical signal interface device bidirectionally conveys signals between a patient and patient monitoring devices. The device comprises a bidirectional electrical signal interface that receives and buffers patient parameter monitoring signals received from a patient via patient attached leads and outputs treatment related signals used in applying invasive or non-invasive treatment to a patient. A bidirectional electrical signal processor operates in response to commands received from a control processor and is coupled to the electrical signal interface, for processing received patient parameter monitoring signals using filtering and amplification to provide processed patient monitoring signals for output to at least one patient monitoring device. The bidirectional electrical signal processor processes the treatment related signals for output by buffering the treatment related signals for output to a patient. A control processor provides data representing the commands in response to at least one of, (a) predetermined configuration data and (b) deriving data representing the commands from data entered by a user via a displayed user interface image.
