A medical system having a ventilator coupled to a breathing circuit is provided. The ventilator is configured to exchange gases with the patient via the breathing circuit. The system includes one or more sensors configured to acquire measurement data associated with the patient, and a memory storing the measurement data. The system further includes a monitor configured to display a tidal volume and lung compliance viewer, and a processor. The processor is programmed to display a virtual gauge within the tidal volume and lung compliance viewer displayed on the monitor. The virtual gauge having a tidal volume indicator and a tidal volume and compliance indicator. The tidal volume and compliance indicator includes a color pattern positioned along a side of the tidal volume indicator. The color pattern representing a degree of tidal volume and compliance relationship with respect to a position on the virtual gauge.

Ventilator system and method

Systems and methods for wirelessly controlling medical devices are provided. One system includes a portable user interface having a housing and a communication module within the housing configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one medical device. The portable user interface also includes a display displaying a graphical user interface to control the at least one medical device remotely, wherein the displayed graphical user interface corresponds to a control interface of the at least one medical device.

Systems and methods for wirelessly controlling medical devices

Methods and systems for displaying information on life support systems (LSS) are provided. One LSS includes a patient monitoring portion configured to acquire, as LSS information, patient measurement information from a monitored patient. The LSS also includes a communication device configured to communicate with a remote device to obtain, as non-LSS information, information acquired by the remote device. The LSS further includes a display configured to display a user interface that presents the non-LSS information.

Method and system for displaying information on life support systems

Methods and systems for providing auditory messages for medical devices are provided. One method includes receiving semantic rating scale data corresponding to a plurality of sounds and medical message descriptions and performing semantic mapping using the received semantic rating scale data. The method also includes determining profiles for audible medical messages based on the semantic mapping and generating audible medical messages based on the determined profiles.

Methods and systems for providing auditory messages for medical devices

Apparatus includes an imaging system with a user interface, and a hospital radiological information system (RIS) coupled to the imaging system such that the user interface allows for bi-directional data transfer between the imaging system and the RIS.

Diagnostic imaging simplified user interface methods and apparatus

Methods and systems for visualizing mechanical ventilation information are provided. One system includes a user interface for a medical system having a ventilator is provided. The user interface includes a memory storing one or more sensor measurements for a patient and a processor. The processor is programmed to display a visualization of a tidal volume determined from one of the sensor measurements of the patient and display a visualization of lung compliance for the patient, wherein the tidal volume visualization and the lung compliance visualization are displayed concurrently.

Method and system for visualizing mechanical ventilation information

A system and method for acquiring x-ray imaging data from a subject is disclosed. The x-ray imaging system includes a first support structure oriented in a vertical fashion and a second support structure oriented in a vertical fashion and spaced apart from the first support structure to define a scanning area configured to receive a subject to be scanned. A linear x-ray source is affixed to the first support structure on one side of the scanning area and is oriented in a vertical fashion, with the linear x-ray source configured to emit x-rays towards the subject. A linear detector arrangement is affixed to the second support structure on another side of the scanning area and is generally opposite the linear x-ray source. The linear detector arrangement is configured to receive x-rays after passing through the subject.

Patient ventilator with graphical user interface

An apparatus displaying a patient worklist includes at least one processor, a pointing device, a display screen having a viewing area, and memory, and is configured to store patient information, including cautionary information and scheduled medical procedures, in the memory. The apparatus is further configured to display the patient information on the display screen in a worklist of patient listings for individual patients. The displayed patient information includes scheduled medical procedures for each patient and a visual cautionary indication in a consistent position relative to each patient in the worklist for whom cautionary information is stored. The apparatus is also configured to open a preview pane on the display screen entirely within the viewing area of the display screen when the visual cautionary indication is selected by the pointing device. The preview pane contains cautionary details associated with the corresponding patient for the selected visual cautionary indication.

Method and apparatus for displaying a patient worklist

An alarm light integrated into the top of the handle of a portable patient monitor or other portable medical diagnostic instrument. Since the top of the handle is the highest point of the monitor, the alarm light can be clearly seen from the sides, top and back of the monitor. Because the alarm light is integrated into the handle structure, it can be easily moved with the monitor and cannot be accidentally disconnected. In addition, the structure of the handle protects the alarm light from damage during transport. The alarm light assembly includes a circuit board which supports at least one light-emitting diode and a connector for supplying electrical power to the light-emitting diode(s), and a light-transmitting plastic lens which supports the circuit board. When activated, the light-emitting diodes are visible through the lens.
