Title:
患者の体温を反復するシステム及び方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4750706
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A patient temperature repeating system and a method of repeating patient temperature information from a resistive-type patient temperature sensor allow one or more medical instruments to utilize a single patient temperature sensor. In one embodiment, the patient temperature repeating system ( 10 ) includes input and output connectors ( 12, 14 ), a microprocessor ( 20 ), optical isolators ( 22 ), a coarse digital potentiometer ( 24 ) in parallel with a fine digital potentiometer ( 26 ), a current sense resistor ( 28 ), amplifiers ( 30 A, 30 B), analog-to-digital converters ( 32 A, 32 B), a filter ( 34 ), fuses ( 36 ), a non-volatile memory device ( 38 ), and a relay ( 40 ). In operation, the microprocessor ( 20 ) reads the resistance level of a resistive-type patient temperature sensor ( 16 ) connected to the input connector ( 12 ) and provides the appropriate control signals through the optical isolators ( 22 ) to the coarse and fine digital potentiometers ( 24, 26 ) in order to set the resistance seen by a medical device ( 18 ) connected to the output connector ( 14 ) to match that of the patient temperature sensor ( 16 ).
