Medical instrument with remaining visits indicator
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating a mobile medical instrument, the method comprising:
- determining a quantity of charge stored in one or more energy storage devices;
determining historical patient visit charge consumption through;
detecting a start of a patient visit;
determining a starting charge stored in the one or more energy storage devices;
detecting an end of the patient visit;
determining an ending charge stored in the one or more energy storage devices; and
computing a difference between the starting charge and the ending charge;
computing an estimated number of remaining patient visits until the stored charge is depleted; and
generating a remaining visits indicator identifying the estimated number of remaining patient visits.

12. A method of operating a mobile medical instrument, the method comprising:
-
determining a quantity of charge stored in one or more energy storage devices; storing a history of patient visit charge consumption for a plurality of patient visits; determining an average charge consumption per patient visit based on the stored history of patient visit charge consumption; and generating a remaining visits indicator based on the average charge consumption, the remaining visits indicator identifying an estimated number of additional patient visits that can be completed before the energy stored in the one or more energy storage devices is depleted. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
