Systems, methods, devices, and connectors are described herein for a modular patient monitoring medical device. A new generation of physiological measurement devices, such as Intelligent Patient Front End Devices (IPFE) can provide updated algorithms, features, and software updates for parameter measurement devices without corresponding releases of a new version of host monitor software. IPFEs, together with patient sensors, comprise a complete physiological patient parameter measurement delivery system. A number and a type of parameter measurement devices can be configured to meet varied and changing clinical needs. Remote access to versions, logs, self-tests, settings, history, and/or measurements via the Internet to one or more parameter measurement devices can provide a unified service approach. The connector is configured to electrically connect any two or more devices and provides an electrical connection that can be simply physically or tactually confirmed.

Modular patient monitoring medical device and connector

A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a monitor via a coupling which can be disengaged with an actuator. The monitor mount may be configured to detachably secure the monitor to a support structure via a clip. The monitor may have a reversible cover. The monitor may have a simplified back portion. The simplified back portion may omit couplings or electrical connections such that a back surface of the monitor is continuous. A rack is configured to detachably secure a module therein in multiple positions in which the module is mechanically connected to the rack and electrically connected or disconnected to the rack. The monitor may be a patient monitor and the module may be a patient monitoring module.

A device and system using same that enables a non-native device to be a self-describing module or communicate in the same protocol as the system protocol for updating data in a medical device and system describing same. In one embodiment, the translation device described herein comprises a processor that converts the non-self-describing protocol (SDP) data into an SDP communication standard and connects to a rack, medical device, a multi-function medical device, or other components within a medical system.

Self-describing protocol translation device

A connector system includes a male connecter including a male housing defining a recess and a plurality of pins arranged within the recess; and a female connector including a female housing configured to be insertable into the recess of the male housing. The female housing includes: front and back portions; a pair of longitudinal sides that extend from the front portion to the back portion; a planar side that extends from the front portion to the back portion, the planar side connecting first ends of the pair of longitudinal sides; a rounded side that extends from the front portion to the back portion, the rounded side connecting second ends of the pair of longitudinal sides; a front surface defined at the front portion by the pair of longitudinal sides, the planar side, and the rounded side; and a plurality of sockets formed at the front surface.
