Data that is derived from a medical device connected to or communicating with, a patient monitor mount, is detected by the patient monitor mount. The data is monitored for events associated with the medical device. The patient monitor mount then determines that the monitored event corresponds to an event. The patient monitor mount generates at least one command for a visualization device to change the data displayed on the visualization device. The command is then transmitted to the visualization device. Related apparatus, systems, methods and articles are also described.

Intelligent patient monitor mount

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described herein for a communication bus that virtualizes physiological data. Sensors and/or physiological data acquisition devices have different physical connectors which provide physiological data from a patient to a shared interface such as a display or patient monitor. A transfer interface within a mount can receive and interpret data streams associated with one or more physiological data acquisition devices. The transfer interface can prioritize the various data streams associated with the one or more physiological data acquisition devices and generate a single, combined data stream based on the assigned prioritization. The transfer interface can provide the combined data stream for transmission to a patient monitor via an interchangeable transport medium. Another transfer interface can process and/or virtualize the data streams from the physiological data acquisition devices.

Communication bus

A method and computer-readable recording media using a self-describing module for updating data in a medical monitoring device. The self-describing module includes a metadata block (MDB) that includes at least identification (ID) data and corresponding configuration data. The medical monitoring device includes a plurality of sub-systems. Associating ID data from the MDB with ID data of the plurality of sub-systems of the medical monitoring device, and then updating configuration data of at least one sub-system with the configuration data in the MDB based on the result of the association.

Method and computer-readable recording medium for using a self-describing module for updating data in a medical monitoring device

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.
