    The present specification generally refers to hospital-based patient monitoring systems. More particularly, the present description relates to a configurable patient monitoring system comprising an exterior screen, a monitor, one or more modules, and a plurality of devices for measuring patient parameters. FUNDAMENTALS
    A patient monitoring system is an electronic medical device that measures a patient's various vital signs, collects and processes all measurements as data, and then displays the data graphically and/or numerically on a viewing screen. Graphic data is continuously displayed as data channels on a time axis (waveforms). Patient monitoring systems are positioned near hospital beds, typically in intensive care units, where they continuously monitor the patient's status through measurement devices attached to the patient and can be seen by hospital staff. Some patient monitoring systems can only be viewed on a local screen, while others can be joined to the network and thus present data in other locations such as the monitoring center or nurses' stations.
    Portable patient monitoring systems are available for use by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel. These systems typically include a defibrillator along with the monitor. Other portable units, such as Holier monitors, are used by patients for a set period of time and then returned to the doctor for evaluation of the measured and collected data. Current patient monitoring systems are capable of measuring and displaying a variety of vital signs, including pulse oximetry (SpO2), electrocardiogram (ECG), invasive blood pressure (IBP), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), electroencephalogram (EEG) , body temperature, cardiac output, capnography (CO2), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2), bispectral index (BISx), and respiration. Patient monitoring systems are able to measure and visualize maximum, minimum and average values and frequencies, such as pulse and respiratory rates.
    The collected data can be transmitted via fixed cable connections or wireless data communication. Power for patient monitoring systems can be provided through a main power line or by batteries. While current patient monitoring systems are effective in monitoring patients' conditions and notifying medical staff of changes, they are not without some drawbacks and limitations.
    Patient monitoring systems are typically equipped with audible and visual alarms to notify medical personnel of changes in a patient's condition. Alarm parameters can be configured by medical personnel. Audible nurse alarms can often be very loud and disruptive to other patients and staff. Bright, flashing visual nurse alarms can also be a distraction for other patients. Conversely, more subtle visual nurse alarms can be very difficult to visualize, which may be a result of visual clutter on the monitoring system screen or because the visual alarm does not differentiate enough from other information on the screen. Additionally, it can be difficult for nurses to silence an active alarm, delaying patient care. The typical user interface for alarm control is operated via traditional push buttons or, in many cases, a touchscreen or keyboard. Therefore, there is a need for a better alarm mechanism within patient monitoring systems, where both audible and visual alarms are easily recognized by nurses while not disturbing patients. In addition, there is a need for an alarm mechanism whereby a nurse on duty can quickly silence the alarm and then focus on the patient's needs.
    Current patient monitoring systems are traditionally bundled together in an integrated package that includes the screen, compartments, and electronics. This limits flexibility and prevents users from customizing the monitoring system for their specific needs and available space. Therefore, there is a need for a modular patient monitoring system in which the individual components are discrete and can be connected in various configurations. Specifically, there is a need for a monitor that does not have an integrated display and can connect to a commercially available custom or commercial display (COTS). Such a monitoring system allows users to position the screen and monitor in the most efficient way, thus freeing up valuable area in the patient's vicinity. ABSTRACT
    The present specification is directed to a configurable patient monitoring system comprised of a plurality of non-integrated components including a screen, a monitor, one or more modules, and at least one patient parameter measurement device. A variety of patient parameters can be monitored and parameter measuring instruments are connected to the system via Dual Serial Bus (DSB) connectors and DSB cables.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
    In one embodiment, the present specification is directed to a configurable patient monitoring system comprised of a plurality of non-integrated components, including a screen, a monitor, one or more modules, and at least one patient parameter measurement device. A variety of patient parameters can be monitored and parameter measuring instruments are connected to the system via Dual Serial Bus (DSB) connectors and DSB cables.
    The DSB interface comprises a first serial protocol and a second serial protocol, where the first protocol is a Universal Serial Bus (USB), Firewire, or Ethernet protocol and the second serial protocol is a Low Power Serial protocol (LPS). The DSB interface manages power distribution within the system by providing 5V via USB protocol or 3.3V via LPS protocol to connected devices. Within the DSB interface, each component of the patient monitoring system is a Host DSB, DSB device, or both a DSB host and DSB device. A DSB Host is in communication with and can supply battery charging and operating power to a connected DSB device and additionally contains a switched auxiliary voltage supply (AVS) that can supply up to 15W of power to connected DSB devices for charging battery or other high power needs. The DSB host recognizes the power requirements of attached devices and switches power delivery accordingly. The DSB interface is presented in greater detail in Copending Patent Application No. 13/300,478 entitled "Dual Serial Bus Interface", filed November 18, 2011 and assigned to the assignee of the present invention, which is incorporated herein by reference. EXTERIOR SCREEN AND ALARM INDICATORS
    In one embodiment, the patient monitoring system includes an exterior screen that is connected to and triggered by the patient monitor. In one mode, the outer screen is capable of describing up to eight waveforms. In one modality, the outer screen contains speakers that can be connected to the patient monitor's audio input to optionally trigger on-screen audio alarms.
    In one modality, the outer screen contains built-in visual alarm lights located on the front and sides of the screen. These alarm lights are larger than current visual alarms, providing a better visual indicator to medical personnel in alarm situations. In one mode, the alarm lights flash red, yellow, and cyan to indicate high, medium, and low priority alarms, respectively. A continuous flat piece of glass takes up the entire front of the screen and lays on a metal band that wraps around the outer sides of the screen for sturdiness. The glass piece does not contain bevels and functions as both a touch screen and the lens and light scattering means for the visual alarm, which results in a reduced piece count. The smooth touchscreen glass also provides a continuous surface presented to the front. This makes cleaning easier as there are no sharp edges like those found on typical bevel implementations that provide slits for contaminants to accumulate.
    A light source behind the glass transmits appropriate wavelengths of light to indicate alarms. In one modality, a black border is screen-printed on the back of the glass around the perimeter. In one modality, the black border is composed of an ink that is screen-printed or sprayed onto a masked border area that gives the appearance of a continuous, uniform black border, but allows light to pass through when the alarm is activated, resulting in a visual alarm.
    In another modality, the edge area that is used for the visual alarm contains small openings that make the edge appear continuous and uniform, but allow light to pass through. This provides a clean, flat modern look that shows no alarm indication until an actual alarm occurs.
    In one modality, the openings that allow light to pass through the side alarms are insert molded into the rear compartment, allowing alarm viewing from a total of 360 degrees around the screen.
    In one modality, the light source for side alarms is the same as for front facing alarms. In another modality, the side alarms receive their illumination from a different light source.
    In one modality, nurse alarm signals, including flash rates for the screen and audio for audible alarms, are triggered and controlled by the monitor via a single cable. In one embodiment, the cable is a 10-pin RJ50 locking connector that prevents accidental disconnection when mated to a 26AW 10-conductor Ground Cable. This allows alarm signals to be exported to other exterior screens and alarm systems.
    In one modality, the outer screen contains an ambient light sensor that detects the ambient light level and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly. In a darker or dimly lit environment, the ambient light sensor will automatically dim the screen and alarm lights. This is particularly beneficial for cases where the patient is sleeping, when dimmer lights will be less likely to disturb the patient. In a bright or bright environment, the ambient light sensor will automatically illuminate the screen. This feature can be disabled by an on-screen button.
    In one embodiment, the outer screen contains built-in cable hooks for routing and routing cables. Cable hooks are made of a flexible injection molded material that will ruin cables and can flex to hold large bundles of cables. Cable hooks close on the lower rear of the display and can be mounted horizontally or vertically. In one embodiment, the hook fitting is designed to detach from the screen if excessive force is applied to the cable, such as, but not limited to, a patient getting out of bed. This allows the hooks to disengage without damaging the screen.
    In one embodiment, the outer screen contains a capacitive button on the front of the touch screen that can be programmed by the user to perform a variety of functions. In various embodiments, the button is a metal plate or other conductive material, utilizing any commonly used pressure and/or touch sensitive technologies. The button is large and prominently positioned over a smaller touch screen button so that it can be easily accessed. In one modality, the button is located on the upper front edge of the screen. In another modality, the button is located at the bottom edge of the screen. In another mode, the button is on the far left of the screen. In another mode, the button is located at the far right of the screen. Also, the button is easier to find because it's not obscured by clutter from other buttons or UI items. Circuitry in the monitor detects when the button is touched by an operator and the monitor performs the programmed function.
    In one mode, the button is programmed to suspend alarm when touched. This allows medical personnel to quickly silence an alarm and reset alarm indications so they can take care of the patient's needs and avoid disturbing other patients in the area. Since alarms are produced in response to critical events, it is important that the means to silence and/or reset them are easy to find and quick to activate. In another modality, the button is programmed to admit patient when touched. In another modality, the button is programmed to start NIBP measurement when touched. In another mode, the button is programmed to return the screen to the home screen when tapped. In yet another modality, the button is programmed to print the screen when touched. The button would primarily be programmed to snooze the alarm to simplify the action a nurse needs to silence the alarm. However, one skilled in the art will understand that the button can be programmed to perform a variety of functions not limited to those listed above.
    In another modality, the outer screen contains includes a touch-sensitive screen section programmed to control the alarm light.
    In another embodiment, the outer screen contains an optional cable that mounts to the back of the screen and extends outward from the bottom of the screen. The cable allows one-hand manipulation of the screen's position while a medical professional attends to a patient.
    In one embodiment, the exterior screen contains a backlit power button on the side with a power symbol that is amber when the screen is not receiving a video signal and green when a video signal is present. The power button is also surrounded by a light ring.
    The exterior display additionally contains a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) port for connecting with the patient monitoring system monitor and a Video Graphics Set (VGA) port for connecting with other monitors. The screen is housed with a metal band and powder coated finish. The back of the display contains two mounting patterns for standard 100mm Electronic Video Standards Association (VESA) and 75mm VESA mounts. MONITOR
    In one modality, the patient monitoring system also includes a monitor that interacts with the modules and allows communication with external devices. The monitor is similar to a CPU tower and provides a dock for parameter modules and recorders. In one modality, the monitor has two compartments that provide power and communication for up to two proprietary Spacelabs modules. In one modality, the monitor can support both current and legacy modules as well as terminal device (FED) patient parameter cables. In one modality, the monitor has four USB ports for interfacing with devices, including, but not limited to, keyboards, mice, barcode scanners, and flash drives. In one modality, the front panel of the monitor contains five Dual Serial Bus (DSB) ports to allow connection to terminal device (FED) patient parameter cables. A Patient Spend Hub (PWH), a small portable self-contained monitor described in Co-Pending Patent Application Number US 13/300,526 entitled "Standalone Patient Monitor", filed November 18, 2011 and assigned to the assignee of the present invention, which is incorporated herein by reference, can also be connected to a DSB port. PWH can also communicate wirelessly with the monitor. In these scenarios, the monitor acts as the DSB host and the PWH is the DSB device.
    In addition, third-party devices can be connected to the monitor via device interface cables, which translate the third-party device's output to the protocol embedded within the DSB connector. The device interface cable has a DSB connector on one end and a cable connector on the other end to interface with the host and third-party device, respectively. The device interface cable is described in more detail, along with the PWH in the application referenced immediately above.
    The monitor also has an external audio jack to allow activation of an external speaker for alarm tones, breathing tones, as well as any other desired tones. In addition, the monitor contains an interior speaker for alarm tones and any other desired tones. In one modality, the monitor contains two DVI ports to allow connection to two independent exterior screens. The monitor also has an Ethernet port for communicating with other monitors and hospital infrastructure.
    In one embodiment, the monitor comprises a port for an external nurse alarm. This port is used for communicating with an external screen as described above. In one modality, a port is used to carry both the signal to activate the alarm lights and the audio alarm, eliminating the need for two discrete cables and two discrete ports. In one modality, the monitor contains an additional nurse alert port that can be used as a standalone outside nurse alert (not on a screen). The monitor also contains a Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) port for communication with expansion module compartments that allows users to use more modules through a single device. In one modality, the monitor has two serial ports for touch screen communication, software updates and data logging. In one modality, the monitor has a high-level output connector on the rear that allows the user to synchronize defibrillators with ECG output. In one mode, power is 21/47 supplied to the monitor via an external power supply. The monitor also includes a rechargeable battery, which is used in the event of a power outage for module data backup, outdoor nurse alert power, and infrared (IR) receiver power.
    In one modality, the monitor uses Dynamic Network Access (DNA) to bring laboratory, pharmacy, graphics, intranet, and Hospital Information System (HIS) applications to the bedside. Medical personnel are able to access this information using a Citrix thin client application running on the monitor. This requires a Citrix server to host the application to serve monitors. Nurses and physicians can review information from multiple sources without leaving the patient care area. Concise and complete electronic patient records are created effortlessly. In one embodiment, the monitor includes data scrambling and bar code reader support for fast error-free identification and transfer of patient information. With the DNA option, immediate access to patient information is ensured through the network. This results in ensuring optimal patient safety while maximizing caregiver efficiency. In one modality, the special Full Bed Review feature gives the nurse or physician the ability to remotely view, control, analyze and record patient data to any other network or telemetry bed without leaving the patient's bedside. In one modality, the special Remote View / Alarm Clock feature allows the caregiver to view any parameter for any patient monitored on the network from any side of the bed. During an alarm state, waveforms and numerical data can be saved and recorded for further analysis. In one modality, the special Alarm Limit Review feature provides the caregiver with an instant view of the bedside alarm limits for all active parameters for viewing or printing. In one modality, the special ICS Clinical Event Interface feature instantly transmits alarms and waveforms to personal communication devices for immediate viewing, resulting in faster response times. In one modality, Flexport interfaces link patient data from standalone devices, consolidating waveforms, data, and alarms on the monitor. The information is then integrated directly into monitor trends for output to HIS and CIS applications.
    In one embodiment, the monitor includes a cable cover with an optional printer. The cable cover snaps onto the monitor to cover all cable connections to the rear of the monitor. The cable cover can be mounted with the opening facing the top or the bottom of the monitor so that cables can be routed in any direction. The cable cover is secured to the monitor with a tie rod so that said cable cover cannot be lost from the unit. In one embodiment, the cable cover can integrate a thermal printer to expand the monitor's capabilities. In one modality, the printer accepts 50mm paper. In one embodiment, the monitor's side compartments are secured together using a long screw that passes through the two compartment halves. The two halves are attached to the front bezel and secured together by screw. In one modality, the monitor includes optional feet to mount it to a table. In one embodiment, the monitor comprises a cover for the DSB connectors when not in use. In one modality, the monitor contains a backlit power button on the front of the monitor where the center power symbol and a surrounding ring turn green when the power is on. "BACKPACK ASSEMBLY" AND CABINETS
    In one embodiment, the monitor includes a bracket that allows the monitor to be mounted behind the outer screen. In this configuration, the mount is called a "backpack mount" and the cables for measuring patient parameters extend from the side of the monitor. The monitor mount is reversible so the cables can extend from either the right side or the left side of the monitor. This allows cable management to be better situated based on bed and monitor location. The outer screen is contoured to "nest" the monitor and stand to give the appearance of a unit. Since the screen is the main place of interaction, placing the monitor behind the screen gives the overall system a cleaner look and positions the patient connections close to the screen. The “backpack mount” configuration also allows the monitor to occupy previously unused space, freeing up valuable space in the patient's vicinity. Mounting for this configuration is also unique in that a single bracket can be used to mount the monitor to the screen using the screen mounting holes on the back of the screen. In one modality, use of the optional on-screen cable allows the “backpack mount” configuration of the display and monitor to be articulated if mounted on a bracket that supports this feature. In one embodiment, the monitor includes two brackets that allow two monitors to be mounted behind the outer screen. In one embodiment, the monitor includes at least one and up to a plurality of brackets that allow at least one and up to a plurality of monitors to be mounted behind the outer screen.
    The monitor can be mounted directly on the wall or, in various modalities, can be mounted on wall strips using mounting cabinets as described below.
    In one embodiment, the monitor includes a screen mount cabinet that mounts to a standard wall strip using the wall strip slots. The screen mounting cabinet fits a standard GCX wall strip found in most hospital installations so that new mounting holes do not need to be created. In addition, the screen mount cabinet can be powder coated to match any hospital environment. The screen mounting cabinet mounts over the wall channel and allows the mounting arm to pass through the cabinet. The display mount cabinet can be used with the exterior display or with the exterior display and monitor in the "backpack mount" configuration described above. In another modality, the screen mounting cabinet can support two monitors. The screen mount cabinet can house power supplies and excess cable to dress the area and make it cleaner. Removable plugs are placed in the screen mount cabinet to allow cables to pass through. The screen mount cabinet has two separate doors to open each side. When closed, the doors are held closed by magnets. In one embodiment, cables can be stored in brackets on the outside of the screen mounting cabinet, as well as being stored inside. In one embodiment, the display mount cabinet can store up to four power supplies that can be mounted in any of four locations inside the cabinet. In addition, the interior of the display case contains an interior screw pattern for brackets that allow mounting the different elements inside the case.
    In another embodiment, the monitor includes a monitor mounting cabinet, which is mounted to a standard wall strip using the wall strip slots. The screen mount cabinet fits a standard GCX wall strip found in most hospital facilities and can be powder coated to match any hospital environment. The monitor mounting cabinet mounts over the wall channel and can be mounted right side up or upside down. Additionally, the monitor mounting cabinet supports reversible mounting of the monitor so that patient parameter cables can extend from either the right side or left side of the monitor. Power for the monitor is stored inside the monitor mounting cabinet and detachable plugs allow cables to pass through the cabinet.
    In another embodiment, the monitor includes a screen mount cabinet and a monitor mount cabinet, both of which are mounted over a standard wall channel. In one embodiment, the monitor mount cabinet is mounted underneath the screen mount cabinet. In another embodiment, the monitor mount cabinet is mounted above the screen mount cabinet. The purpose of assembly cabinets is to consider assembly as part of the design rather than as an afterthought and to create a common, integrated solution beyond just the monitor. In one embodiment, the mounting cabinet fits a standard GCX wall strip found in most hospital installations. MODULE
    The patient monitoring system of the present invention also includes a module that allows measurements of a plurality of patient parameters. There are many types of modules and can be used depending on what patient parameters are needed.
    In one embodiment, the patient monitoring system includes a command module. The command module can measure both adult and neonatal NIBP, IBP, ECG, SpO2, cardiac output and temperature and includes a stop button to manually override NIBP measurements. The command module communicates via the Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) bus with and derives power from the patient monitor. In addition, the command module contains an internal memory to allow the module to be picked up with a patient during transport and connected to a separate monitor without data loss. In one embodiment, the command module is the core of the patient monitoring system, providing the processing capability for all basic physiological parameters. Caregivers are able to choose from a variety of settings to meet the monitoring needs of specific patients or care units within the hospital. In another modality, the command module includes three levels of arrhythmia monitoring (basic, standard multiple views, and advanced multiple views), as well as diagnostic 12-lead ECG analysis and reporting with or without measurement and interpretation. In addition, the command module also includes ST segment analysis and event review or Varitrend 4 for neonatal respiration, heart rate, and SpO2 event review.
    In one embodiment, the patient monitoring system includes a capnography module that measures the effect of end-of-current CO2, inspired CO2 minimum, and respiratory rate to help assess the respiratory status of any adult, child, or infant patient. Routine calibrations are not necessary as the module automatically compensates for ambient barometric pressure. In one embodiment, the capnography module is flexible in that it combines both side current and main current control modes in a single unit. Lateral current monitoring includes a low sampling rate of 50 ml/min which is ideal for smaller patients.
